[Verse 1] During my life I’ve done many things Some pretty good, some pretty bad Some that make me stand proud Some that make me feel shame There are things I’ve been accused of That make reason stare but If I’d done half the stuff you claim I’d need to be in jail [Pre-Chorus] If I had lived the life you think I've had I’d never sleep no, I'd never sleep [Chorus] I wanna live the fantasy You’ve written about my life The legend that you’ve built for me Is way better than truth You swear I’m rich, notorious Dangerous and free But I’m just eating ramen noodles In the real world of me [epic interlude] [Verse 2] I own a business — must be rich Sometimes I don’t get paid You picture yachts and champagne I’m clipping coupons in the shade You say I’m some big mastermind A creep, a king of sin I’ve never harmed a single soul I barely ever win You’ve got me cast as sugar daddy Living life intrigue But I fall asleep by nine o’clock Watching basic cable TV [Pre-Chorus] If I’d lived half the crimes you’re sellin’ I’d be bold and feared Instead I’m fixing squeaky doors And trimming my own beard [Chorus] I wanna live the fantasy You’ve written about my life The legend that you’ve built for me Is way better than truth You swear I’m rich, notorious Dangerous and free But I’m just eating ramen noodles In the real world of me I’m boring as drywall, In reality [Bridge] I didn’t loosen lug nuts Didn’t cut your brake line Didn’t have an affair in ’23 With someone I met in ’25 Oh to have the money Oh to have the fame You’ve crowned me king of everything Without receipts Your envy turned me into A demi-God Far from true Far from true [Breakdown] In your mind I’ve arrived While I’m in fact behind You’ve built a mansion of me Out of gossip and grind [Final Chorus] [Chorus] I wanna live the fantasy You’ve written about my life The legend that you’ve built for me Is way better than truth You swear I’m rich, notorious Dangerous and free But I’m just getting by In the real world of me i wanna live the fantasy The thrilling life you swear I lead Exists inside your mind If I’d done half the things you claim I’d be legendary Instead I’m just a normal guy In your documentary I'm boring boring dull [Outro] I can never equal The myth you’ve set me to be Your fever-dream biography Is way more fun than me.** [epic ending]
