Rich Man
Schäffer The Darklord Lyrics

Diamonds and emerald pearls, silver and gold
I desire expensive and luxurious items like jewelry and precious metals.

Roll in a Beamer, Mazaratti, a Ferrari, a Rolls
I dream of driving extravagant cars like BMW, Maserati, Ferrari, and Rolls Royce.

Benjamins in multiples of tens in rolls
I wish to have stacks of hundred-dollar bills bundled together.

Persian rugs and drugs filling cereal bowls
I want to indulge in luxurious Persian rugs and use drugs recklessly.

A fleet of limousines idle lined in the lot
I envision numerous limousines parked together in a parking lot.

A penthouse with a helipad, a 50-foot yacht
I desire a luxurious penthouse with a helipad and a large yacht.

A mansion in the Hamptons and a getaway spot
My dream includes owning a mansion in the Hamptons and a relaxing getaway location.

These are just a few of the things that I have not
Unfortunately, I don't possess any of these extravagant things.

I'm so stone-cold broke, you know it's no joke, I get
I am completely and utterly without money, it's not a laughing matter.

A embarrassing paycheck, half pays the late rent
My paycheck is so small that it's embarrassing, barely enough to cover my overdue rent.

Half Uncle Sam gets, I haven't been paid yet
Almost half of my paycheck goes towards taxes, and I still haven't received the remaining portion.

The only big numbers I ever see are in my debt
The only large figures I encounter are the ones representing the debts I owe.

I can't believe I still live this life, I cry "When's this
I find it hard to accept my current situation and wonder when things will improve.

Ship I've heard so much about gonna get in? It's
I am anxiously waiting for an opportunity to enhance my circumstances, but nothing seems to be happening.

Ridiculous I'm sick of this shit driven witless
I am exhausted and fed up with this situation that has left me feeling clueless and desperate.

Can I get a witness? Can I get ten cents?
Can someone testify to the difficulties I face? Can I even spare ten cents?

Can I pay my dues and use my debit? Get it?
Am I capable of fulfilling my obligations and utilizing my debit card? Do you understand?

Swipe it, type in my PIN, rejected, forget it
I attempt to make a payment, enter my PIN, but it gets declined, so I give up.

Denied, had I a dime every time ATMs said it
If I had ten cents every time an ATM rejected my transaction, I would have a lot of money.

I dread it, but my migraine is worse than my credit
I fear facing financial issues, but my severe headache is a more pressing concern than my credit score.

And I got holes in my pockets like the ulcers in my tummy
I have so little money that my pockets have holes, just like the ulcers in my stomach from stress.

Some receipts in my wallet stuck to something black and gummy
There are receipts in my wallet that are stuck to something sticky and dark.

Disposition so unsunny, wanna hear you everybody
My mood is extremely gloomy, and I want everyone's attention and sympathy.

Say "No money money no money money money!"
I want everyone to chant together, declaring that there is no money in their lives.

And I ain't got no money
I do not have any money.

I'm so broke it ain't funny
My financial situation is so dire that it's not even remotely humorous.

No land of milk and honey
There is no abundance or prosperity in my life.

For me, envy everybody
I feel jealous and envious of everyone else.

Oh when will my ship get in?
I long for the moment when my fortune will change.
