The last track on Santigold’s 3rd studio album, 99 cents. Great song about someone who gains wealth and fame but loses their head in the process.
Hey now take a look at you
Hosed down, in a million dollar suit
But I knew you when that wasn’t you
I knew you when you had a clue
Big man, driving a big car
Funny how you can spin so fast so far
I knew you when you was a star
I knew when no one thought you were
Ooooh oooooohh
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can’t be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here
You actin’ like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be
Who I thought you were
Last time I tried to call you up
I couldn’t reach you cuz you were stuck so far up
I knew you when you were just rude
I knew I loved your attitude
Five minutes all that you got left
Long way down boy I wouldn’t hold your breath
I knew you when you knew the time
I knew you for your bottom line
Ooooh oooooohh
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can’t be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here
You actin’ like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be
Who I thought you were
Now you got a lot of gall
Tell you frankly I’m appalled
I know you know better
Where you going on that ladder?
Got all the girls runnin’
They with you
All of your lackeys
They’re thirsty and you are too
Your enemies
They tell you it’s all fine
I tell you better watch it
Walkin’ a thin line
Ask if I used to know you
I don’t know
Cuz these days it’s like
It’s just like I never seen your face before
Ooooh oooooohh
You cannot be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
No, you can’t be who I thought you were
Who I thought you were
I like you more when you poorer
Your new ID is a borer
Come back here
You actin’ like we owe ya
Are you ever gonna be
Who I thought you were
I don’t like you
I don’t like you
