  • Lights on, stage set
    I guess I gotta put on a show again
    'Cause everyone's waiting
    Females, fly jets
    When I turn the radio on
    I hear all my songs playing, yeah
    Whatever money can buy
    I probably got it
    That's real talk, yeah
    I see my name in the sky all over the world
    And I just sit hear saying, lucky me

    I gotta pose for the cameras
    Even when my world's falling down
    I still wear a smile
    Lucky me
    Even though I'm so damaged
    I gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd
    Lucky me

    Plenty of my loved ones wanna be stars
    'Cause nobody said it would be so hard
    Wouldn't put this on no one else
    Yeah, lucky me

    So exclusive
    I don't have to wait in the line
    It's like the club is mine now
    If it was only that simple
    Then what I'm saying is easy to do
    And we know that's not true
    Whatever money can buy
    I probably got it
    That's real talk, yeah
    I see my name in the sky all over the world
    And I just sit hear saying, lucky me

    I gotta pose for the cameras
    Even when my world's falling down
    I still wear a smile
    Lucky me
    Even though I'm so damaged
    I gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd
    Lucky me
    Complaining to my loved ones I wanna be a star
    But no one ever told me it would be so hard
    I wouldn't put this on no one else
    Yeah, lucky me

    My dream and it's my heart
    The life of being a star
    You don't even know how hard it is, do you, yeah
    Now I'm thankfully for everything
    And I'm finally becoming a man
    Now I gotta bigger a show to do
    Lucky me

    I gotta pose for the cameras
    Even when my world's falling down
    I still wear a smile
    Lucky me
    Even though I'm so damaged
    I gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd
    Lucky me
    Complaining to my loved ones I wanna be a star
    But no one ever told me it would be so hard
    I wouldn't put this on no one else
    Yeah, lucky me Writer/s: Chris Brown, Jevon Hill, Richard Butler, Theron Makiel Thomas, Timothy Jamahli Thomas
