LYRICS
I wanna be a billionaire so fucking 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 alright
I swear the world better prepare
For when Im a billionaire
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of everyday Christmas
Give Travie your wish list
Id probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that aint never had shit
Give away a few Mercedes like Here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Its been a couple months that Ive been single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Ha ha get it? Id probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah, cant forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go, Imma have my own theme music
Oh every time I close my eyes (what you see what you see brah?)
I see my name in shining lights (uhuh uhuh yeah what else?)
A different city every night alright
I swear the world better prepare (for what?)
For when Im a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when Im a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when Im a billionaire
Ill be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then Ill compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenties, tens and bens completely separate
And yeah Ill be in a whole new tax racket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
Ill probably take whatevers 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 fucking bad (so bad)
Buy all of the things I never had (buy everything ha ha)
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen (what up Oprah)
Oh every time I close my eyes, (watch ya see, what you see brah?)
I see my name in shining lights, (uh huh, uh huh, what else?)
A different city every night, oh I
I swear the world better prepare (for what?)
For when Im a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh when Im a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
Maybe Im foolish, maybe Im blind
Thinking I can see through this and see whats behind
Got no way to prove it so maybe Im blind
But Im only human after all, Im only human after all
Dont put your blame on me
Take a look in the mirror and what do you see
Do you see it clearer or are you deceived in what you believe
Cos Im only human after all, youre only human after all
Dont put the blame on me
Dont put your blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
Im only human after all, Im only human after all
Dont put the blame on me
Dont put the blame on me
Dont ask my opinion, dont ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry, making you cry
Cos Im only human after all, Im only human after all
Dont put your blame on me, dont put the blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
Im only human after all, Im only human after all
Dont put the blame on me
Dont put the blame on me
Im only human I make mistakes
Im only human thats all it takes to put the blame on me
Dont put your blame on me
Im no prophet or messiah
Should go looking somewhere higher
Im only human after all, Im only human after all
Dont put the blame on me, dont put the blame on me
Im only human I do what I can
Im just a man, I do what I can
Dont put the blame on me
Dont put your blame on me"
There’s an infestation in my mind’s imagination,
I hope they choke on smoke ‘cause I’m smoking them out the basement,
This is not rap, this is not hip hop,
Just another attempt to make the voices stop,
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something,
‘Cause I wasnt the only one who wasnt rushing to say nothing,
This doesnt mean I lost my dream,
It’s just right now I’ve got a really crazy mind to clean.
Gangsters don’t cry,
Therefore, therefore I’m,
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I’m.
Can you save, can you save my,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me,
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Nah, I didnt understand a thing you said,
If I didnt know better I’d guess you’re all already dead,
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch,
Saying stuff like, “you only live once.”
You’ve got one time to figure it out,
One time to twist and one time to shout,
One time to think and I say we start now,
Sing it with me if you know what I’m talking about.
— We all have someone in our lives we don’t like.
We all have people that hurt us or stress us out.
We all have bad days.
We all have tough months or years.
A boss that doesn’t treat us well.
A teacher that doesn’t care.
A friend of family member that’s scoffs and laughs at our dreams.
Some days you wake up and all you want to say is “fuck you”
That day is today!
For everyone out there who needs to scream at the top of their lungs.....this is Antisocialist!

— ANTISOCIALIST // LYRICS
I had a dream once
All by myself with no one else
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven
Then I woke up
And everybody wanted something
Reaching out don’t fucking touch me
So I take pills to induce sleep
But I always wake up
Please stay away from me
You keep on talking with nothing to say
I don’t wanna hear about your life
You make me wanna eat a bullet
It’s on my forehead
Four letters, off
And go forth and spread the word
I don’t wanna know you
Please stay away from me
‘Cause I don’t fucking like you
I had a dream once
I didn’t know it at the time
The world was perfect in that moment
Then I woke up
I was surrounded by these strangers
Standing close and staring in
So I drink liquor to escape it
But I always wake up
Please stay away from me
You keep on talking with nothing to say
I don’t wanna hear about your life
You make me wanna eat a bullet
It’s on my forehead
Four letters, off
And go forth and spread the word
I don’t wanna know you
Please stay away from me
‘Cause I don’t fucking like you
From my heart
I hope you know this song is about you
Please stay away from me
You keep on talking with nothing to say
I don’t wanna hear about your life
You make me wanna eat a bullet
It’s on my forehead
Four letters, off
And go forth and spread the word
I don’t wanna know you
Please stay away from me
‘Cause I don’t fucking like you
