Billionaire
McCoy Travie Lyrics

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
I aspire to be extremely wealthy and have everything that I've ever desired.

Buy all of the things I never had
I want to be able to purchase all the things that I've ever wanted or couldn't afford before.

Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
I dream of being so financially successful that I make it to the front page of the highly respected Forbes magazine.

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
My ultimate goal is to have the privilege of taking a photo with two of the most powerful ladies in the world - Oprah Winfrey and Queen Elizabeth II.

Oh every time I close my eyes
Whenever I shut my eyes,

I see my name in shining lights
I visualise my name being displayed in bright lights (signifying my fame and success).

A different city every night oh right
I would like to travel to different cities across the globe and enjoy the luxurious lifestyle, every single night.

I swear the world better prepare
I'm telling you, the world needs to get ready for what's coming.

For when I'm a billionaire
Once I achieve my goal of being a billionaire (which I'm determined to do), the world will never be the same again.

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
If I achieve the level of success that I dream of, I'll create a show like the popular Oprah Winfrey Show.

I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
I would host a holiday special every day, like it's Christmas, filled with happiness and generous gift-giving.

Give Travie a wish list
I would allow Travis to create a list of items that he wants - and then, gift them to him.

I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
I'd follow the example of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt by adopting children who are in dire need of homes.

And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had shit
I'd give a home and a chance at a better life to many children who have never had anything or anyone to count on.

Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
I would give away a few luxury cars to people, simply because I could.

And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Finally, I would like to be able to fulfill someone's final wish, before they pass away.

It's been a couple months that I've been single so
It's been a while since I've been in a relationship, so...

You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
People could address me as a version of Santa Claus, but without the cheerful 'ho ho' laugh. My goal is to give back to others and make the world a happier place.

Get it, hehe, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
Do you understand what I'm saying? I'd most likely visit the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
I would do a lot more to help than the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) did during their relief efforts after the catastrophe.

Yeah can't forget about me stupid
Don't forget that I'm still here and that I'm pursuing my dreams.

Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music
No matter where I go or what I do, I want to have my own theme music to play in the background.

I'll be playing basketball with the President
My goal is to be able to play basketball with the President of the United States.

Dunking on his delegates
Furthermore, I want to play so well that I can outplay the President's delegates on the basketball court.

Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
After playing basketball with him, I'll compliment the President on his political skills and behaviour as a politician.

Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
I'd casually throw some millions of dollars into the air, just for fun (just to show how wealthy I am).

But keep the five, twenties tens and Bens completely separate
However, I would keep the various denominations of currency organised and separated.

And yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
Once I'm a billionaire, I'll be in a higher tax bracket than most people.

We in recession but let me take a crack at it
Although the economy is currently facing a recession, I'm willing to take a shot at improving it.

I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
With whatever I have leftover, I'll divide it up and share it among people who are special to me.

So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
I want to give those who are important to me some extra spending money.

And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Those around me would never have to experience hunger due to the generosity I'd provide them.

Eating good sleeping soundly
Those around me would also be able to enjoy a good meal and sleep well due to the abundance of resources available.

I know we all have a similar dream
I believe that many people share a common goal with me in wanting to attain financial success.

Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
Reach in your pocket and take out your wallet.

Put it in the air and sing
Raise it up high and start singing!

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
I aspire to be extremely wealthy and have everything that I've ever desired.

Buy all of the things I never had, uh
I want to be able to purchase all the things that I've ever wanted or couldn't afford before.

I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
I dream of being so financially successful that I make it to the front page of the highly respected Forbes magazine.

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
My ultimate goal is to have the privilege of taking a photo with two of the most powerful ladies in the world - Oprah Winfrey and Queen Elizabeth II.

Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights
Whenever I shut my eyes, I visualise my name being displayed in bright lights (signifying my fame and success).

A different city every night, oh I
I would like to travel to different cities across the globe and enjoy the luxurious lifestyle, every single night.

I swear the world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire
Once I achieve my goal of being a billionaire (which I'm determined to do), the world will never be the same again.

Oh ooh oh ooh, when I'm a billionaire
Yes sir-ee, I will be a billionaire!

Oh ooh oh ooh
Yes sir-ee!
