- Millionaire LyricsWell, I started out with one long dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a million-
aire
Well, I hopped on a ship and we sailed on the waves
Dealt in rum and we dealt in slaves
Left my captain and sold him brave
He's gone, but I don't care, I'm gonna be a millionaire
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
Well, I married rich, a pretty little wife
Brought her misery every day of her life
She slit her wrist with a silver knife
You can't blame that on me boys, her money belongs to
me
Well, I found myself in a good position
To buy myself some cheap politicians
Bought myself a big election
That's just how it went boys, now I own the president
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
When you say your prayers down on your knees
Ask the Lord, forgive you, please
If it crosses your mind say one for me
I know where I'm bound boys, I know where I'm bound
Cause I started out with one long dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a
millionaire
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a million-
aire
Well, I hopped on a ship and we sailed on the waves
Dealt in rum and we dealt in slaves
Left my captain and sold him brave
He's gone, but I don't care, I'm gonna be a millionaire
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
Well, I married rich, a pretty little wife
Brought her misery every day of her life
She slit her wrist with a silver knife
You can't blame that on me boys, her money belongs to
Well, I found myself in a good position
To buy myself some cheap politicians
Bought myself a big election
That's just how it went boys, now I own the president
How many of you wanna see me dead?
How many of you wanna have my head?
How many of you just live your lives?
Wishing you were me boys, wishing you were me?
When you say your prayers down on your knees
Ask the Lord, forgive you, please
If it crosses your mind say one for me
I know where I'm bound boys, I know where I'm bound
Cause I started out with one long dollar
Gambled with the man and I won me another
I bought me a gun and I robbed my brother
I'm bad, but I don't care boys, I'm gonna be a
millionaire
Facts about Millionaire
✔️
Millionaire is written by David Olney.
✔️
It is first released in 2006 as part of Slaid Cleaves's album "Unsung" which includes 13 tracks in total. This song is the 6th track on this album.
✔️
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Slaid Cleaves' song "Millionaire" narrates the tale of a person that is ready to go as far as breaking the law in order to gain riches and dominance. The writing introduces a person with all the bad traits of being after money, like greed, deceit and not caring about the others. And it also mainly points to the fact that for a human, it might be a long way, but he/she will eventually end up at the same place - dead and empty and with nothing to show. 'Millionaire' is essentially about social commentary, empowerment, adventure, angst, and anger by mistake. At the same time, the song is talking about the significance of greed and ambition, the consequences of actions, and power and corruption in society. The lyrics are filled with adult themes like gambling, violence, and suicidal tendencies that imply children under 17 shouldn't watch the film. The portrayal of illegal actions and the discussion of severe matters such as suffering and death indicate that this is a really strong topic, thus a high age rating.
