Song Description

A song about comparing oneself to the people we idolize and realizing we are doing pretty well. Being OK with who we are.

Lyrics

I'll pretend for minute with a stick and a hat,
I'll wear a fur coat,
I'm a pimp on a yacht.
I got many friends all having big names,
Share a little toke and a little cocaine.
Sitting in a hot tub sipping champagne,
Wake up with a headache but I can't complain.
Gotta match the bling to my teeth and gold chain,
Re-invent myself to maintain my fame.
My mother wouldn't agree with that,
I'm fine exactly were I'm at.
I got friends I trust and I know myself,
I can always dream about being someone else.
Now I'm sitting on a ledge while they're lighting my head,
Or chilling in my trailer, I'm an actor on a set.
Sign a couple autographs for my fans,
I bathe in bottled water just because I can.
Anytime of year you'll be jealous of my tan.
I'd slap the paparazzi with the back of my hand.
I get paid millions just to say a few lines,
I pay a plastic surgeon to remove my lines,
I just rhymed lines with lines two times.
Open up a magazine
What celebrity's been seen eating where and wearing what.
What young star's become a slut?
Who said what to who and why?
Things I've learned in the grocery line.
My mother wouldn't agree with that,
I'm fine exactly were I'm at.
I got friends I trust and I know myself,
I can always dream about being someone else.
Oh, driving to the office in my Subaru blue,
I got to work hard cause the rent is due.
I don't have a stylist so I do what I can,
I pick my own clothing with my own bare hands.
No entourage, just a couple of friends,
Hanging at the beach or the cabin this weekend.
No assistant at my side for whatever I need,
Album sales through the roof?
Well not if you're me.
Would I turn down fame and fortune well I guess we'll see.
My mother wouldn't agree with that,
I'm fine exactly were I'm at.
I got friends I trust and I know myself,
I can always dream about being someone else.
