Millionaire
Kelis feat.Andre 3000 Lyrics

I said, her from the city So her got to be witty, witty She said, him from the country So him got to be funky, funky
The singer and another person are discussing people from different backgrounds, assuming that those from the city must be quick-witted and those from the country must have a sense of funkiness.

Mama, I'm a millionaire, but I feel like a bum Mama, I'm a millionaire, but I feel like the only one I, I, I, I woke up early this morning I don't think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning I don't think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning I don't think, think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning, but I still ain't see the sun
Despite the singer's wealth, they feel like they don't belong and that they are isolated in their feelings. They repeat that they woke up early this morning but haven't seen the sun, emphasizing the fact that they're feeling down despite their financial success.

Papa, I'm a millionaire, but Saks Fifth Ave. don't sell affection Saks Fifth Ave. don't sell affection Papa, I'm a millionaire, but I ain't moving in the right direction Something ain't right, I know I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich oh I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich, mmmm
The singer tells their father that while they have financial success, they're lacking emotional connection and direction in life. They also state that being rich doesn't feel right until everyone is rich, suggesting that money isn't everything.

Where there is cheese there are rats Where ever there are rats there are cats Where ever there are cats there are dogs If you got the dogs, you got bitches Bitches always out to put their paws on your riches If you got riches, you got glitches If you got glitches in your life computer, turn it off And then reboot it, now you back on Can't just put the cap on the old bottle Once you pop it, that will spoil it Go on and drink it and enjoy it, uh Mama, I'm a millionaire
The artist gives an analogy of how wealth attracts unwanted attention and how owning too much can cause issues. They suggest that when things go wrong, it's best to reboot one's life and start again. They also reassure their mother of their financial success.

What's a girl to do when she just has dimes No time, just pay-ay-ay-ay What's a girl to do instead of me It's you, be true-ue-ue-ue What's a girl to do in a world of greed But kneel and pray-ay-ay-ay What's a girl to do when she's lost her long time friends That's li-i-i-i-ife
The artist questions what a girl can do when she only has a little money and little time. They suggest that the answer is to be true to oneself and to rely on prayer in a world that values greed. The artist also reflects on the fact that losing friends is simply a part of life.

I, I'm feeling sad like a million bucks I, I, I, I, I, I'm feeling sad like a million I, I, I'm feeling sad like a million Sad like a million I, I, I, I, I, I'm feeling sad
The singer reiterates their feeling of sadness despite their wealth, using the phrase 'sad like a million bucks' to contrast their life situation with their personal feelings.
