[Chorus] Did you ever think that you would be this rich Did you ever think that you would have these hits Did you ever think that you would be the don Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn Did you ever think that you would be this paid Were there times when your ass was real afraid Did you ever think that you would sell out tours Have a show with fifty million viewers I used to think about how I was gonna make it Struggling day to day just trying to get this paper Hoping the day would come when things would go my way But now I'm living lavish and all I do is hear them say [Chorus] Now I've been around the world and seen so many things Partied in every club nothing but VIP I never take for granted these luxuries I have Just try my best to answer all of these questions that I ask [Chorus: x2] I used to play the game, at night the same old same Dreamin' 'bout city lights it was my only lie And now it's world wide shows As if I can fly on over Now I can't go nowhere without, before I do two more [Chorus] I used to dream about this life Now I'm sitting on first class flights Now they all wanna know [Chorus]
