V1
Well, I was workin' late, clockin' overtime,
Stretchin’ every nickel just to make it to the line.
Boss man in his office, sippin’ on champagne,
Talkin' 'bout dreams like money ain't a thing.
Pre
He said, "Just chase your heart, let the world unfold,"
But that don’t pay the rent or keep the truck on the road...
Ch
You gotta be rich to think that way,
To talk 'bout freedom like it's somethin’ you can pay.
Tryin' to fly when you're stuck in the dirt,
Feelin’ the weight of my blue-collar shirt
It’s easy believin’ when your bills are all paid —
Yeah, you gotta be rich to think that way.
Post chorus
Gotta be rich to think that way
Gotta be rich gotta be rich
I'm just trying to make it ...thru the day
V2
She said, “Follow your passion, go and find your light,”
While I’m burnin’ out bulbs just to get through the night.
Dreams don't mean much when the fridge is bare,
And hope don’t fill the tank to get me anywhere.
pre
I ain’t bitter, I ain’t cold, I’m just callin’ it straight,
There’s a price to that freedom they like to celebrate.
CH 2
You gotta be rich to think that way,
To quit your job and move out to the bay.
Singin’ 'bout stars while you’re sleepin’ indoors,
Some of us pray just to not lose the store.
It's a fine-lookin’ dream, but someone’s gotta pay —
Yeah, you gotta be rich to think that way.
Post chorus
Gotta be rich to think that way
Gotta be rich gotta be rich
I'm just trying to make it ... thru the day
Br
One day I’ll get there, maybe just not yet,
Right now I’m payin’ dues and drownin' in debt.
So don’t preach to me from your high-rise view,
‘Til you’ve walked in these work boots too.
Ch3
Yeah, you gotta be rich to think that way,
To chase the wind and call it a lucky day.
We’re holdin’ on tight, tryin’ not to break,
Makin’ somethin’ outta nothin’ for the family’s sake.
It’s a whole different world when you earn every cent —
Yeah, you gotta be rich...
To forget what poor meant.

"Critics are like toothpicks , Disposable ".
"Jealousy is the mother of invention"
"Counting Time Will kill You "
" Dogs know you better than you know yourself "
" If I told you once I told you twice . I didn't like what you said the first time.
