You Know
Jordan Louis Lyrics

I once lived the life of a millionaire
I used to be extremely wealthy and had all the luxuries money could buy

Spending my money I didn't care
I was careless with my money and spent it frivolously without any worries

Always taking my friends out for a good time
I enjoyed treating my friends to expensive and enjoyable outings

Buying champagne, gin and wine
I bought expensive drinks like champagne, gin, and wine

But just as soon as my dough got low
As soon as I ran out of money

I couldn't find a friend no place I go
My friends abandoned me when I no longer had money to spend on them

If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
If I were to become financially stable again

I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it till the eagle grins
I will hold onto my money tightly and never let it go easily

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
People tend to avoid or ignore those who are going through a rough patch in life

In your pocket not one penny
Having no money available

And your friends you haven't any
Your friends will leave you when you are in need, and you will be left alone

And soon as you get on your feet again
As soon as you become financially stable once again

Everybody is your long lost friend
People will suddenly become friendly and supportive when you have money again

It's mighty strange, without a doubt
It is quite unusual and inexplicable

You know folks, I once had a mansion
I used to own a large and opulent home

Sitting way up on the side of a hill
It was located high up on a hill

I'd give champagne and caviar parties
I would host extravagant parties where I served expensive drinks and food like champagne and caviar

Just for fun and to get a thrill
I would host these parties just for the sake of enjoyment and to feel a sense of excitement

But the wrong folks made it in my town
Some unsavory people appeared in my area

They finally got in
They found a way to enter my life and take advantage of me

And now I can't muscle up enough money
I am struggling to find enough money to get by

To buy a shot of gin
I cannot even afford to buy a cheap alcoholic drink

Nobody wants you, nobody needs you
When you are in a bad situation, people show you no concern or affection

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
People tend to turn their back and ignore those who are struggling in life
