“Hey Look Ma, I Made It” is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of Brendon Urie’s success in the music industry.

[Verse 1]
All my life, been hustlin' and
Tonight is my appraisal
'Cause I'm a hooker sellin' songs and
My pimp's a record label
This world is full of demons stocks
And bonds and bible traders
So I do the deed, get up and leave
A climber and a sadist, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't ready for the latest
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
[Chorus]
Hey look, ma, I made it
Hey look, ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it"
[Verse 2]
Friends are happy for me or
They're honeysuckle phonies
Then they celebrate my medals or
They wanna take my trophies
Some are loyal soldiers while
These other thorns are rosy
And if you never know who you can trust
Then trust me, you'll be lonely, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you ready for the sequel?
Ain't ready for the latest
In the garden of evil
I'm gonna be the greatest
In a golden cathedral
I'll be praying for the faithless
And if you lose, boo-hoo
[Chorus]
Hey look, ma, I made it
Hey look, ma, I made it
Everything's comin' up aces, aces
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it, I made it"
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it, I made it"
I see it, I want it, I take it, take it
If it's a dream, don't wake me, don't wake me
[Outro]
I said, "Hey look, ma, I made it"
(Mama best believe it)
(Mama best believe it)
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Think I must be dreamin')
(Wide awake and dreamin')
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Mama best believe it)
(Mama best believe it)
Hey look, ma, I made it
(Think I must be dreamin')
Hey look, ma, I made it
