Rich (2016 Fowler Demo)

(album: The Lost Demos - 2020)

[TobyMac:]
I wanna be rich (Rich, rich, rich...), oh, I wanna be (Oh, I wanna be)
I wanna be rich (Rich, rich, rich...), oh, I wanna be (Oh, I wanna be)

Now, I was born with the nature of a driven man
If I could dream it, I could reach it, gotta thank my dad
And when the odds are stacked, step up and knock it to the fence
Push away all the doubt that is coming at ya
Who could blame me for tryna reach your stars?
And who could blame me for tryna top those charts?
I've always heard that presidents can't buy love
And all the riches of the world ain't ever gonna be enough
Now I know I'll have my critics
But I'ma step up to the mic and admit it
Said, "I know I'll have my critics"
But I'ma stand up and admit it

I wanna be rich, oh, I wanna be rich (Yes, sir)
I wanna move on up, see just how sweet it is (How sweet it is)
I wanna be rich in love, rolling deep
Loaded in friends and family (Family)
Rich, Lord, I wanna be rich

So let's stack it up
Yeah, rich, aw
So let's stack it up
Hey, Mr. Talkbox

[Mr. Talkbox:]
Hello
From Diverse City to Bruno Mars
I rock stadiums, arenas with superstars
I never leave my box behind
Wherever I go, I gets funkified
Now let's take this thing just a little bit deeper
A Mr. Talkbox double feature (Hey!)
I treasure what's above
'Cause there ain't no stopping love

[TobyMac (Mr. Talkbox):]
I wanna be rich, oh, I wanna be rich (I wanna be rich)
I wanna move on up, see just how sweet it is (How sweet it is)
I wanna be rich in love (Love), rolling deep (Yeah)
Loaded in friends and family (My family)
Rich, Lord, I wanna be rich

(So let's stack it up)
Rich, aw (Hey)
(So let's stack it up)
Rich, aw
So let's stack it up (Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up)

[TobyMac:]
There's never been a man on his deathbed who said
"I wish I'd taken more meetings, cut tougher deals
Spent more time spinning work wheels"
No man has ever said that or ever will (Ever will, ever will)
The only thing I've heard a man say as it all fades
Is "I shoulda spent more time with the ones I love
That's what I shoulda done
If I could buy back time, it's what I'd do" (What I'd do)
"I'd be the richest man you ever knew" (Right on)
"Shoot, I'd be the richest man you ever knew" (Oh)

[TobyMac (Mr. Talkbox):]
I wanna be rich, oh, I wanna be (Lord, I wanna be rich)
I wanna be rich, oh, I wanna be (Yes, sir!)
I wanna be rich in love, rolling deep
Loaded in friends and family (I said I wanna be rich!)
Rich in love, rolling deep
Living in sweet diversity
Rich, Lord, I wanna be rich

So let's stack it up (Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up)
So let's stack it up (Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up)
Let's stack it up (Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up)
Let's stack it up (Let's stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up)
Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up
Stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up
