  • I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
    Buy all of the things I never had
    Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
    Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

    Oh every time I close my eyes
    I see my name in shining lights
    Yeah, a different city every night, oh I
    I swear the world better prepare
    For when I'm a billionaire

    Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
    I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
    Give Travie a wish list
    I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
    And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had
    Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
    And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
    It's been a couple months that I've been single so
    You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
    Get it, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
    And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
    Yeah can't forget about me stupid
    Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music

    Oh every time I close my eyes
    I see my name in shining lights
    A different city every night, oh I
    I swear the world better prepare
    For when I'm a billionaire
    Oh ooh oh ooh, when I'm a billionaire
    Oh ooh oh ooh

    I'll be playing basketball with the President
    Dunking on his delegates
    Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
    Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
    But keep the five, twenties tens and Bens completely separate
    And yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
    We in recession but let me take a crack at it
    I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
    So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
    And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
    Eating good sleeping soundly
    I know we all have a similar dream
    Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
    And put it in the air and sing

    I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
    Buy all of the things I never had
    Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
    Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
    Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights
    A different city every night, Oh I
    I swear the world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire
    Oh ooh oh ooh when I'm a billionaire
    Oh ooh oh ooh
