Top down in the Cadillac Coupe DeVille
I got the pad with the panoramic view that kills
Brushed off my Burberry
Smiled at the sky
10 years in obscurity
I've finally arrived
Took my mama and her crazy ass friends to lunch
Crowd applauding
Baby, I ain't even said word 1
Name brand everything
1,000 pairs
Name brand celebrity
At least around here
Going UP!
Baby I made it
Here I am
I have arrived
I got my mind made up
You know I'm flying straight up
Oh smile
I have arrived
Oh baby, please let me to introduce myself
Believe me the pleasures all mine
I wish u only bright moments
Love light & roses
Smile, I am alive
Why am I so fortunate
That I be afforded this moment
To live a life so rewarding?
It ain't that it's been without difficulty
Still I became everything I wanted
The highlight of your night life
The thief of your grief
I put the hump in hump day
The peak of your week
The absolute zenith of your Saturday evening
The shining beacon of your holiday weekend
On tour for months
On stage for hours
Losing my voice so we could gain ours
Huuuuuuhhhhhh?
What you say there, dude?
Say it again
I can't hear you
I'm rounding the bases for the folks coming now
With faces just as beige and names ending in vowels
I had to get everything I thought that I wanted
To learn success ain't just what I got in my pocket
Going UP!
Baby I made it
Here I am
I have arrived
I got my mind made up
You know I'm flying straight up
Oh smile
I have arrived
Oh baby, please let me to introduce myself
Believe me the pleasures all mine
I wish u only bright moments
Love light & roses
Smile, I am alive
Chattanooga, Appaloosa, Baton Rouge, Kathmandu
Austin, Boston, Charleston, Aukland, Hong Kong, Dublin, Santa Cruz
Poland, Oakland, Portland, Charlotte, London, Paris & New Orleans
Newport, Sydney, New York City, the whole Bay Area California
As I leave you this evening on the highest of notes
May I propose a toast to love light & hope
So apropos
I've lived a life so charmed
Hope what I did with mine
Helps you with yours
Hope you blow out those thangs you were sent to do
I hope you go out and claim what was meant for you
Hope I express what you couldn't articulate
I hope you see the world
& I hope you participate
I hope you grow closer to the people you love
Release that beef
Stop huggin' that grudge
Hope you feel it bump
Hope you feel at peace
Hope you feel the funk
Hope ya find your keys
I hope I introduced you to different points of view
Who in turn introduced you to different parts of you too
Woop Woop
Baby who knew?
Say it again
I can't hear you
Going UP!
Baby I made it
Here I am
I have arrived
I got my mind made up
You know I'm flying straight up
Oh smile
I have arrived
Oh baby, please let me to introduce myself
Believe me the pleasures all mine
I wish u only bright moments
Love light & roses
Smile, I am alive
