I Will Be
O'Nine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

don't wanna be no superstar
Don't wanna be no jon bon jovi
I only wore my leathers once
But I was drunk.....
And that's another story
Don't wanna go on mtv
I don't wanna be another rock singer
But I'll take that limosine
And diamond rings to put on every finger!

don't wanna be no washed p hippy
Don't wanna be a butt-sucking sellout
After every tour, I'm in betty ford
Hangin' with the guys
And tryin' to get the hell out
Don't wanna be no metal hero
Don't wanna have a laser light show
And when I've gone as far as I can go
I'll quit the band and go solo!

don't wanna be no jon bon jovi
Grow my hair down to my buttcheeks




Don't wanna be no jon bon jovi
Wearing leather pants on mtv.....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O'Nine's song "I Will Be" seem to be a declaration of the artist's desire to stay true to himself and not fall prey to the trappings of fame and success. The first stanza starts with the artist disavowing any interest in being a superstar and rejecting the glamor associated with rock culture. The reference to wearing leathers once in a drunken state and wanting diamond rings on every finger seems to suggest a fleeting desire for indulgence but not necessarily a long-term goal.


The second stanza is more intense in its rejection of rockstar lifestyle. The artist rejects the idea of being a "butt-sucking sellout" and expresses disdain for the "washed-up hippy" and "metal hero" image. Even Betty Ford rehab seems to be a part of the routine for this artist after tours, further highlighting the pressure of the music industry. The artist acknowledges that they might reach the end of their journey with the band and be ready to pursue a solo career.


Overall, the lyrics seem to be a commentary on the music industry and the pressure that comes with fame and success, coupled with the desire to stay true to oneself.

Pretty soon now
You know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash

I'll speak to the masses through the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash

'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing, can't you see me smile

I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung Fu, that was one of my good ones
And what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun

Skateboards, I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son

I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Did ya look a look a look it all the blood
So give me all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing, can't you see me smile

I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Right now, I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that

And you think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin to a pork pie hat

'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
Why don't you give me all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing, can't you see me smile

I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Well, I'm the man, man, man, man, man, man, man
Man, man, man, man, man, man, man
I'm the man, man, man, man, man, man, man
Man, man, man, man, man, man, I'm the man
