[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Okay, people laugh at my jokes now
Yeah, it’s so strange to have a bit of success
Now our song plays in the produce aisle
What if some day, you say, "Who the hell is that?"
Okay, this all could be over by the next day
So should I make famous friends?
Now our song plays in the produce aisle
What if some day you say, "Who the hell is that?"
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
Oh, my demographic will click on anything graphic
Now I’m in fashion, I don’t know how long it’s lasting
It could be passing, should I put eggs in more baskets
And try out fashion before I go out of fashion?
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
[Bridge: Samia]
What can you do?
Don't be a fool
What can you do?
Don't be a fool
What can you do?
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
Recording costs for this whole song
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
[Outro: Jack Met]
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
For us to say that they are great?
And every star that I used to mock
Was probably paid, am I the same?
