Dollar Store Gatsby
[Intro] (Ayo, pass me the off-brand cola.) [Record scratch, upbeat bouncy brass loop kicks in] [Heavy boom-bap drums] (Yeah. VIP baby. Very Impoverished Person. Let's get it!) [Verse 1] [Fast, bouncy triplet flow, high energy] Rolled up to the velvet rope in a ninety-seven Honda Security is looking like an angry anaconda (Back up!) Slipped him a coupon for a half-price latte Walked right in like I own the whole plaza Wearing fake Prada that I bought from a trunk Got the two-dollar cologne smelling heavily of skunk I don't pop bottles, I just pop bubble wrap Stealing all the appetizers, putting 'em right in my lap! (Shrimp!) [Pre-Chorus] [Drums cut out, just a funky walking bassline and claps] Look at the chandelier, dripping in the crystal I'm armed with a barcode scanner as a pistol (Beep!) Why pay the premium, the markup is a scam I'm sneaking in a Tupperware of candied yam! [Chorus] [Massive brass drop, bouncy 808s, explosive party anthem energy] (na nana naaa na) Call me the Dollar Store Gatsby! Running the party on a budget, you can’t catch me! (Whoo!) Flexing in the club with the two-for-one shoes Sipping tap water, yeah I ain't paying for the booze! (Nah!) Dollar Store Gatsby, making it rain! With the copper pennies, bringing the pain! [Loud punchy horn stab] [Verse 2] [Punchy flow, stop-and-go beat with heavy bass hits] Hit the dancefloor with the orthopedic soles Dodging the bouncers like I'm playing whack-a-mole (Gotcha!) DJ spinning tracks but I hand him an aux Playing royalty-free jazz from a cereal box (Smooth.) Look at all these models with the silicone pout I'm pulling out a spreadsheet, calculating the drought Fiscal responsibility is my kind of swag Taking all the complimentary mints in a bag! [Bridge] [Stilbruch: Music completely stops. Gentle, elegant harp glissando plays] (Excuse me sir, you can't put the chocolate fountain in your pocket.) (Watch me, Reginald. Watch me.) [Aggressive drum fill transition] [Tempo speeds up by 15%] (Let's go!) [Chorus] [Double-time bounce, frantic party energy, max volume on brass section] (na nana naaa na) Call me the Dollar Store Gatsby! Running the party on a budget, you can’t catch me! (Whoo!) Flexing in the club with the two-for-one shoes Sipping tap water, yeah I ain't paying for the booze! (Nah!) Dollar Store Gatsby, making it rain! With the copper pennies, bringing the pain! [Outro] [Fading bouncy beat, lone trumpet playing a slightly off-key melody] [dry Spoken] Anybody want a slightly bruised banana? Half price. Cash only. [Sound of a cash register ding] [Abrupt stop]
