Billionaire (Remix)
Travie McCoy · Other Songs - Travie McCoy
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
[Verse 1]
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 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'mma have my own theme music
[Hook: Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
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
I swear, the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
[Verse 2: T-Pain]
Billionaire dollar crib, stadium, theatre
Personal ball cleaner, the closet's all Gators
I'm eating this morning, break-fast
I'mma need 1st place, I refuse to take last
You can hear the wordplay on the top of the bass-clap
You niggas is all drop-outs, you hate class
Until them umbrellas pop out, splish-splash
Ain't no rain on her blou-ouse, get back
Cause them doors close by themselves
Oh, no-no-no, I don't need nobody help
They say I'm backwards cause the doors on my Phantom open up the wrong way
And I'm like no, homeboy, you just making the wrong pay
[Hook]
[Bridge: Bruno Mars]
Oh-oh, oh-oh wanna know where I am there is nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Oh-oh, oh-oh even back to the ghetto ghetto ohhhh oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh this car and those cribs, I need it all
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I'm a Billionaire
[Verse 3: Gucci Mane]
Gucci Mane la Flare in the buidling, yeah
Right back like I never even went nowhere
Growing up, I dreamed I would be a billionaire
And when the Jordans came, I could buy a billion pair
Cause zillionaires swagged up, swear it ain't fair
Lames lay game and they too too square
Life's too short to sit back and look
Every night is a movie, my life's a book
Money rules the world, but money runs to me
You can't put a price tag on what God's done for me
I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad
So I can tell all my haters to kiss my ass
It's Gucci
[Hook]
Billionaire (Remix)
Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire (Remix)' serves as a high-energy reimagining of his signature hit, originally recorded with Bruno Mars for the album 'Lazarus.' While the original track defined the pop-rap genre of the early 2010s with its soaring melody and themes of wealth disparity, this remix expands the sonic landscape by integrating additional vocalists including Gucci Mane, One Chance, and T-Pain. The collaboration transforms the recording into a dynamic anthem that bridges the gap between mainstream pop and hip-hop, showcasing McCoy's ability to adapt his signature sound for broader appeal. Released as a standalone single, the version maintains the core emotional resonance of the original while delivering a more complex, layered production that highlights the versatility of the featured artists. It remains a notable song in McCoy's discography, reflecting the collaborative spirit and genre-blending approach that characterized his work during that era.
