SPOKEN INTRO: You know Michael / what’s goin' on? / theres been one thing
that’s been on my mind / what is it? / one thing I’ve been noticing every
single day / I think I see it to / everybody’s out there trying to live / the
million dollar dream / pick it up
HOOK: (Currency) X 8 / (hey) X 3 / all I see is people out there trying to live
the million dollar dream / (you know it) X 2 / (currency) X 3 / but when you
just look a little closer nothing’s quite like what it seems / (currency) X 3 /
(hey) X 3 / all I see is people out there acting like they in a movie scene /
one million dollars / two million dollars / (currency) X 3 / But when you just
look a little closer nothing’s quite like what it seems
RUSHDEN: Lately I see kids try to front just like they’re winning / but ever
since the beginning Michael’s pushed it to the limit / if you’re in it
represent it / put your hands down this ain’t Vegas / all I see is people
copying my style / you ain’t Elvis / it’s a very well known fact / rappers
don’t know how to act /
You should at least up your style / people want there money back / these days
everyone’s an act / with a worthless drum pack / tryin' to chase the same sound
/ but you cannot be the man / sucker
HOOK: Repeat
DIAMONDS: More authentic than a Rolex / jealous of where I get to go next / in
a chaperoned Bertone with a Trojan Roman David complex, lately all I see is
average rappers trying to meet their quotas / but if they focused on their
craft perhaps they’d get to go and join the conquest / people out here taking
pictures of their salads on vacation / while they could be trading stocks and
bonds while travelling the nation / um / I don’t mean to brag um / listening to
a Donald Fagen / in an Aston Marten Vanquish station-wagon / cannons blazin'
BRIDGE: Tell me why you’re dreamin' / cause there’s gotta be a reason / tell me
why you’re dreamin' / cause there’s just gotta be a reason / why you act like
that / (ah ha) X 2 / why would you act like that
HOOK: Repeat X 2
SPOKEN OUTRO: Ha ha ha / bunch of goddamn unprofessionals / true / everything I
said / I mean it / you meant it? / I mean I meant it / yes / goddamnit / ha ha
ha ha ha / Michael / oh
