I always like it when rappers talk bout how rich they are With shiny watches and dollas all in a foreign car But what do you do before you get the cash Before you make it big online and your career's a smash They kinda frontin', playacting like they stuntin' Singing' bout "M's in my bank account" when really they got nothin' Now that's the phase of my career that I'm in The greatest of the great say it's all about timin' Gotta act like you the shit, when ain't got no hits But your swagger and bravado make people think you got it Factor, I'm an actor, not really a rapper But I'd rather be on stage than on a farm pushing a tractor (Sheep) So for now I'm stuck at home fantasizing (Fantasizing!) Not yet raking in the dough from merchandizing (Cha-ching!) I see my future in the sky I'm prophesizing (Hmmmm) Cuz deep down I know my star is rising I ain't got a Rolls Royce I'm just whippin' in my Prius But if I had a choice I would live inside my head and pretend to be rich Stack up all my dough and smoke it down to the tip I just wanna be like Jay Z, it's crazy That money can make life work out without a hitch Baby I ain't spendin', i'm just pretendin' to be rich Now that we know it's pretense I can say anything I want about my life's opulence (It's fake! Like the other day, got a little scratch on my Ferrari (Skrrt) Didn't even say sorry, i was busy eating calamari (Crunch!) I got six girlfriends and a gold iPhone Can't find the charger, it's in my vacation home (Hello?) no, not that vacation home, it's in my other one (Oohhh) I'm losin' track, cuz all this cheddar's getting troublesome (Wah!) My bank account is overflowing and get this I even know what an Audemars Piguet is (Ice!) My butler's only job is to groom my mustache Even when i'm on the toilet, man, I'm flushed with cash! Yo! Back to reality, I'm broke and I'm full of crap But you have to believe me cuz I'm singing it in a rap What do rappers do before they get the private jet? I ain't a failure, I'm just not there yet! I ain't got a Rolls Royce I'm just whippin' in my Prius But if I had a choice I would live inside my head and pretend to be rich Stack up all my dough and smoke it down to the tip I just wanna be like Jay Z, it's crazy That money can make life work out without a hitch Baby I ain't spendin', i'm just pretendin' to be rich I ain't got a Rolls Royce I'm just whippin' in my Prius, baby But if I had a choice I would live inside my head and pretend to be rich Stack up all my dough and smoke it down to the tip I just wanna be like Jay Z, it's crazy That money can make life work out without a hitch Baby I ain't spendin', i'm just pretendin' to be rich
