Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As a child she would analyze lyrics
She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick
She used to play with the melodies and beats in the words
She would come in singin' things that no one had heard
As a child she was always pretty bright
Never bitchin' with the girls or gettin' into fights
[Verse 2]
There was something in her head
And there was something in her mind
There was something going round
There was something burning bright
[Verse 3]
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream
No more
This ain't got nothin' on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be makin' money
Bein' a G
Goin' properly
[Verse 4]
Teachers used to say
"What do you want to be?"
As soon as she says singer
They all look at her blankly like
"Darling, darling you need to have a back up plan"
"Like what?" she said
Workin' in Matalan?
Well quite frankly Miss
I have already applied
With the other thousand applicants
Standing in the line
But, that ain't my callin'
I'm tired of your warning 'cause
I won't be fallin'
So move over darling
[Verse 5]
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream
No more
This ain't got nothin' on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be makin' money
Bein' a G
Goin' properly
[Verse 6]
Now she's grown
She's all alone with
Two kids screamin' on the phone
It's landlord callin'
For his rent but
She's still stallin'
'Cause she can't pay again
Yes, she's going to court today
For the dress she stole away
It was for a big audition
Oh, my
She's on a mission to
Show the teachers and the guys
She made something of her life
[Verse 7]
There's something in her head
There's something in her mind
There's something goin' round
There's something burnin' bright
[Verse 8]
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream
No more
This ain't got nothin' on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be makin' money
Bein' a G
But it don't
Come free
