VERSE 1 I was with a fellow musician the other day, name withheld We were trying to eat, walked into the restaurant of this hotel A few patrons recognized us. We started going through the pricelist The looks on our faces priceless. We didnt need no one to advise us I faked a phone call and walked out He caught the rouse he followed suit We went outside and laughed out loud Next stop was at my house Hook They see me on T.V they say I be celeb Its funny man no money man no ref i dey use my legs And charlie trust me i still dey wey troski Small small e go be i will be where i must be 2x [Lifestyle of the broke and a little famous] [Sometimes i have dreams of chilling in Vegas] VERSE 2 Look in my eyes Im sleep deprived i stay up all night and dream Imagination helps escape reality and as it seems From a.m to p.m put my frustrations on the pen Cos a brother still dont even own a pot to pee in Im starting to feel the pressure I swore to never say yes sir to any boss in any office A nine to five could be a real stressor So Im working twice as hard to make it and maybe then I wouldnt have to go back on my words like Arabians I know it may be grim Your light just may be dim Turn that sad face upside down Light your life up with a smile You see the old folk stay hopeful You can tell it by the hymns they hum Im in the stu cooking somin cos Sam Cooke said change gone come [Repeat Hook] VERSE 3 Next week i got a show put my homey on the phone Tell am say i dey need some clothes I dey come do laborrow Im on stage looking like a boss Only thing i own my drawers Meanwhile a fan wondering how much my wardrobe cost Appreciate you putting me on that pedastal but truly Im but a man with a gift and usually i rock no jewelry Id much rather rock the stage and work the crowd into fury Leaveem debating my sentences like a jury [Hook]
