But if you knew her, she lives a

She calls the paparazzi, then she
acts surprised
Oh

Oh, I know what she needs
(Oh-oh)
She just want the fame, I know
what shе fiends (Oh-oh)
Give hеr a little taste, runnin'
back to me (Oh-oh)
Put it in her veins, pray her soul
to keep, ooh
Ooh, every night (Every night),
she prays to the sky
Flashin' lights is all she ever
wants to see
Chorus:
Beggin' on her knees to be
popular
That's her dream, to be popular
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
(Popular)
Just to be popular
Everybody scream 'cause she
popular
She mainstream 'cause she
popular
Never be free 'cause she popular

Money on top of me, money on
top of her (Uh-huh)
Money on top of me, money on
top of her (Uh-huh)

I know that you see me, time's
gone by
Spent my whole life runnin' from

Try to own it, but I'm alright
You can't take my soul without a
fight
Oh
Bridge:
I'm gettin' money and I'm keepin'

I'm gettin' cash and I'm keepin' it
Money on top of me, money on
