from By This Time Next Year by Jet 2

/

about

You Were Born Rich is a fun party song for the summer. Jet 2 finesses the track with a smooth flow and witty lines such as, "don't listen when my ex says she gon' kill you, that's cap. I would never let her do you like that," and "I'm what you get if Jay-Z and Beyoncé had a baby."

lyrics

[Intro]
Yup
Aye, yup
Yup
Ah-yup
Yup
Yup, yeah
Aye yup

[Pre-chorus]
Say don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)
Don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap, all cap)
I would never let her do you like that (not that, got me bent)
I would never let her do you like that (all facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)

[Chorus]
Life is what you would make it (ooh)
Don't read that much to mistakes
You just take it back
If you should fall 'fore you make it
Then it's alright, it's okay
Just make it back

[Verse 1]
I'm what you get if Jay-Z and Beyoncé had a baby
Had some issues then, now I'm on the front page wit' it
I just met your new man, he a real big fan
Don't tell him you ever met me
You just let him live, damn
Pool with the crib, ten bands on the nightstand
Cool with the kids on the block, I'm a model for 'em
School for my peers, I'm a tutor, I'm a college to 'em
Every time I drop, got 'em all in the auditorium
I got Maury on speed dial, ain't the father 'less I want it
Don't be tryna cheat now and then call him in the morning
If I'm on a beach now, mask on
Gotta give me about fifty feet now, that's gone
I'm a King, she got pretty feet, wow
Then I'm on it, she a fling
Put your IG down, let my hotline bling
But like G.I. Joe, I'm a soldier like T.I. though
Featuring Destiny's Child

[Pre-chorus]
Say don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)
Don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap, all cap)
I would never let her do you like that (not that, got me bent)
I would never let her do you like that (all facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)

[Chorus]
Life is what you would make it (ooh)
Don't read that much to mistakes
You just take it back
If you should fall 'fore you make it
Then it's alright, it's okay
Just make it back

[Pre-chorus]
Say don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)
Don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap, all cap)
I would never let her do you like that (not that, got me bent)
I would never let her do you like that (all facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)

[Verse 2]
Just dropped three in the Inglewood Swapmeet
Push the Benzo down Manchester, top speed
Gotta do it big as my ancestors watch me
Like, "who is this," iPhone do do doot do
Music to my ears, I'm on gettin' called up
I'ma let it burn, Usher I ain't gettin' caught up
You just live and learn, they'll tell you that it's all luck
Said I'll never make it, I knew they was on drugs
Whew
One of them bitches stole my passport
I was born rich, so I ain't have to ask for it
You were born rich, figure out the password
Tryna find the answers to life is lookin' like classwork
I was on Coliseum
And Crenshaw at the Wingstop gettin' wings with it
Saw a thick thing staring, ended up sinking in it
Had that thing drippin' like a sink in it, yeah

[Pre-chorus]
Don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
I would never let her do you like that (that's facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)
Don't listen when my ex say she gon' kill you
That's cap (that's cap, all cap)
I would never let her do you like that (not that, got me bent)
I would never let her do you like that (all facts)
She just want it back from the back (big facts)

[Chorus]
Life is what you would make it (ooh)
Don't read that much to mistakes
You just take it back
If you should fall 'fore you make it
Then it's alright, it's okay
Just make it back
