It's been a couple months that I've been single, so
You can call me Travie Claus, minus the Ho Ho

Get it, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did

Yeah, can't forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh

For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I'll be playing basketball with the President, dunkin' on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette

Toss a couple milli' in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys, tens and Bens completely separate
And yeah, I'll be in a whole new tax bracket

We in recession, but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good, sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet, put it in the air and sing
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' badLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars) Lyrics

I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare

For when I'm a billionaire
Yeah, I would have a show like Oprah, I would be the host of
Everyday Christmas, give Travie a wish list
I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had shit
Give away a few Mercedes like, "Here lady, have this"
And last, but not, least grant somebody their last wish
It's been a couple months that I've been single, so
You can call me Travie Claus, minus the Ho Ho

Get it, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did

Yeah, can't forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh

For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I'll be playing basketball with the President, dunkin' on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette

Toss a couple milli' in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys, tens and Bens completely separate
And yeah, I'll be in a whole new tax bracket

We in recession, but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good, sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet, put it in the air and sing
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh, every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad

Travis Lazarus "Travie" McCoy (born August 6, 1981 in Geneva, New York) is a rapper, singer, multi-instrumentalist and lead vocalist of the alternative hip hop group Gym Class Heroes. Signed to T-Pain's Nappy Boy Entertainment, he released his solo debut album, Lazarus, on June 8, 2010. The lead single from the album, Billionaire featuring Bruno Mars, has so far reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

McCoy was born and raised in Geneva, New York. In high school, he met Matt McGinley in his gym class, and the two bonded over their love of music. They decided to start a band, and played with other musicians until Gym Class Heroes was formed in 2001. Travis made his MTV debut in the summer of 2002, as he appeared on stage at the beach house on a standard nation-wide MC Battle that was held on the MTV show Direct Effect.

McCoy was arrested on July 1, 2008 after hitting a man on the head with his microphone. The man had been in the crowd at a concert in St. Louis when he shouted racial slurs at McCoy. McCoy asked the man, "What did you just call me?" As security was removing the man from the venue, McCoy brought the man on stage to call him out in front of the crowd. In a statement, McCoy's publicist said that the man hit McCoy in his knee, which was in a brace after he had suffered a recent strain

In early March 2008, McCoy opened up about his battles with opioids. He stated that he had been addicted to pharmaceuticals since he was 15 years old.

McCoy dated singer Katy Perry, who appeared as his girlfriend in the "Cupid's Chokehold" video and toured along with his band on the Warped Tour, on and off for several years. He had given a promise ring to Perry, and when asked if this was rehearsal for an actual proposal, McCoy shrugged with a grin. The two broke up in December 2008. They began dating again in April 2009. However, they broke up a few months later.

McCoy is a vegetarian. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
