"Rich" lyrics

Aloe Blacc & Betty Michaels Lyrics

"Rich"

I thought I'd be rich by now
Thought I'd be famous already
I thought I'd be all put together
My name was written in gold
I thought I'd feel limitless love
For as long as I live
But as I stand
Well, I don't feel rich right now

I've been searching high and looking low
But the more I learn the less I know
I've been swimming in a dream
Diving down in the deep
And there's a forest standing inbetween
What I want and what I need
So I plant my feet on the ground
Mmh, take it day by day

I've come so far
But the doubt still lives in me
Holding onto hope
And would I believe

If I had it all
And I lost it all
Would I still believe?
If I had it all
Then I lost it all
Would I still be me?

And I thought
One day I would be a rich man
Hold everything I want in my hand
But here I am, I know that all that glitters isn't gold
And I thought
One day I would become famous
And go through all these different changes
[?] and meeting strangers
Who don't know what my real name is
But now that I see what the game is
Well, maybe I don't need to play this
Maybe I don't need no fame and no gold
