F              G
Okay, people laugh at my jokes now
           A#m                   F
Yeah, it's so strange to have a bit of success
         F                  G
Now our song plays in the produce aisle
        A#m                       F
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:
      A#               F/A
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
    Dm               C
For us to say that they are great?
  A#                F/A
Recording costs for this whole song
      Dm              C/E
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre
      A#               F/A
Would Beats by Dre pay 20K
    Dm               C
For us to say that they are great?
  A#                F/A
Recording costs for this whole song
      Dm              C/E        F
Could all be paid by Beats by Dre

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

             A#  F/A
What can you do?
            Dm  C
Don't be a fool
             A#  F/A
What can you do?
            Dm C
Don't be a fool
What can you do?

Chorus

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?
