Big Shot
Rex Rebel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I wanna be a big shot
I think I wanna come play
Hanging out with the big dogs
Red carpet in LA

I think I wanna be a big shot
I think I wanna live high
Champagne on a rooftop

Watch people go by

Big shot's gonna do it, big shot's gonna do it, do it right now
Big shot's gonna do it, big shot's gonna do it, do it right now

When I go, you will see
Roads are paved for me
cuz I know who to be
There is gold waitin' for me

I think I'm gonna be a big shot
I think I'm feeling like I should
First class on my jumbo airplane
Maserati feels good

I think I'm gonna be a big shot
I can feel it in this beat
Done playin' with the small time don't mean nothin' backseat
I be VIP

Big shot's gonna do it, big shot's gonna do it, do it right now
Big shot's gonna do it, big shot's gonna do it, do it right now

When I go, you will see
Roads are paved for me

cuz I know who to be
There is gold waitin' for me
