Lyrics for Song: Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars)
Lyrics for Album: Lazarus [2010]
[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' 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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
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 shit.
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 since I've been single so,
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho.
Haa, 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 Imma have my own theme music.
[Chorus]
Oh, every time I close my eyes,
(what chu see, what chu see bro?)
I see my name in shining lights.
(uh huh).
Ahh, yeah yeah.
(what else?)
A different city every night.
Oh I - I swear, the world better prepare..
(for what?)
For when I'm a billionaire.
(yeah!)
Oh oooh oh oooh,
(Sing it)
When I'm a Billionaire.
Oh oooh oh oooh.
(let's go)
[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
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 fives, twentys, tens and bens completely separate.
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, put it in the air and sing...
[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad.
(So bad)
Buy all of the things I never had.
(Buy everything, haa)
Uh.
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine.
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen.
(What up Oprah? Haaa!)
[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes,
(what chu see, what chu see bro?)
I see my name in shining lights.
(uh huh).
Ahh, yeah yeah.
(what else?)
A different city every night.
Oh (yeah yeah yeah)
I - I swear, the world better prepare..
(for what?)
For when I'm a billionaire.
(yeah!)
Oh oooh oh oooh,
(Sing it)
When I'm a Billionaire.
Oh oooh oh oooh.
I wanna be a billionaire
(uh huh)
so fuckin' bad.

Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars)
Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire,' featuring Bruno Mars, serves as the closing track on his 2010 album *Lazarus*. Released during the height of the pop-rap era, the song blends McCoy's signature soulful delivery with Mars's polished production to create a sweeping anthem about financial excess and the human cost of wealth. The recording exemplifies the collaborative spirit of early 2010s hip-hop, where R&B influences dominated mainstream rap. While the track did not achieve massive commercial chart success upon release, it has since become a staple of McCoy's discography, recognized for its emotional depth and the seamless chemistry between the two vocalists. It remains a defining moment in his solo career, showcasing his ability to craft introspective narratives within a high-energy musical framework. |
