[Intro]
Babe, I get it, you know I get it, I get it
But you gotta understand I'm trying to be famous
Like I know, I know we'll have time to chill, to hang out
I promise I'll love you as best as I can
But I need to do this for us right now, okay
I need this, we need this, just wait
[Verse 1]
If I could fly, I would show you the world
If I had a million dollars, I would buy you those pearls
But I don't have a dollar in my pocket so here's a locket
I bought it at Walmart, I hope that you like it
I picked up a night shift to get you this nice gift
Hoping it might lift the cloud over your head that won't let any light in
I know how dark the night gets but I'll be your sidekick
Hold my hand and walk with me, I'm keeping a tight grip
It doesn't shine like it's supposed to
But I promise one day, I'll buy the biggest rock on the planet
And the whole coast too just so we can tan and
This moment is only a fragment
Cause what I have planned is bigger than you can ever imagine
Cause baby, I swear, we'll be rich in the mansion
With our very own butler like Batman, the Bruce Wayne
Just you wait when ten grand is loose change
[Hook]
I know we'll make it through
Spread my wings and fly, I'm taking you
Wait till the day my bank is full
And they'll know my name, yes it's true
I'll be famous soon
[Verse 2]
I know that we're struggling right now to make ends meet
We're a light year away from wealthy, riding on this ten speed
My bank account is empty, it tempts me
To rob a bank, but if I get caught and cops arrest me, I'm dead meat!
The rents due on the first, I can't pay the next fee
I'm surprised you haven't found another guy and left me
Imagining this Chrysler as a frigging Bentley
But that's not what her friends see
I know you wanna be set free
But please baby, don't stress me
In less than a year we'll be stress free
Wining and dining with red meat
A house on the wet beach next to a boat with a couple jet skis
Cause that's what you deserve, I hate it when she's hurt
And nothing to wear so I lend her my t-shirt
I do what I can do to keep you intact, boo
Just stick with me baby, you're the ink to my tattoo
[Hook]
I know we'll make it through
Spread my wings and fly, I'm taking you
Wait till the day my bank is full
And they'll know my name, yes it's true
I'll be famous soon
[Verse 3]
I'm tired of being broke, I know you hate it too
We've held our breaths long enough, shit our face is blue
I'll be famous soon, I see you're anxious too
I'm depressed, I can't fill a fucking plate with food
The walls are caving in, I'm about to raise the roof
And fuck this city, I swear we about to escape it too
I need these DJ's and stations to maybe play my tunes
I chase this dream to give us a place with eighty rooms
I've always wanted to be famous, some kinda entertainer
Like oh Denace I love him, he entertains us
But I don't want fame to change us
I just want the money to buy us things that no job we've ever had gave us
You just have to be patient, success I can taste it
I promise I'll make it, just stop the complaining
I'm in the studio, you're stressing me out
I'm trying to give us a better life, stop texting me now
[Hook]
I know we'll make it through
Spread my wings and fly, I'm taking you
Wait till the day my bank is full
And they'll know my name, yes it's true
I'll be famous soon
[Verse 4]
Ten missed calls, three new texts
She knows I'm at the studio recording these new tracks
I'm trying to make a better future for the two of us
And this Grammy nominated producer just came through for lunch
Accidently heard my music from the other room
And just went coo coo nuts, flipped the fuck out
And told me I'm the best he's heard
The rest deserve the second spot, let's be serious
He offered me a deal on the spot
A million dollars, holy shit am I dreaming or not?
I believed in myself but still received as a shock
Yesterday I didn't have a place to pee in a pot
Just got home to let her know we've beaten the odds
But to my surprise there's a note on the fridge that went something like this
Dear Denace, I love you but I've given up
I hope you sleep well with my blood on the million bucks
[Hook]
I know we'll make it through
Spread my wings and fly, I'm taking you
Wait till the day my bank is full
And they'll know my name, yes it's true
I'll be famous soon
[Outro]
Walk into my room to find her lying there
With a empty bottle on the nightstand and in her hand was a locket
The one I got her around mid-March
And inside was a picture of us surrounded by split hearts
Damn, I guess you gotta be careful what you wish for
