V.I.P. lyrics

I'm a very important person
I park in the v.i.p
And when I go to the bathroom,
I go in the v.i.p toilet
And when I wanna change a lightbalb,
I don't do it myself... oooohhh no...
I have a technician
Cause I'm a v.i.p
I'm a v.i.p
I'm a v.i.p
I'm a v.i.p
Now,as I began to become a v.i.p,
I forgot what I've become a v.i.p for
I began to grow accustommed to people saying
"Right this way sir...drinks are on the house..."
Flight attendants on airplanes saying

"Please...really, I don't wanna bother you sir, but it's such a pleasure to have you on board.
May I have your autograph for my daughter?"
"Yeah baby right after I go to the toilet
I'll give you a couple of'em
Cause I'm a v.i.p!"

Now, one thing about v.i.p is, is they never seem to be alone
Ooohh no!
The "true" v.i.p must travel with an entourage!
People who say "right on boss"
Cause it's a v.i.p!
Right on boss
I'm a v.i.p!
As I began to realise that I had gained v.i.p status,
Worries began to creep in
What if one day, I woke up, and I was no longer a v.i.p?
No more good tables at the restaurants...
No more strange women smiling and approaching me on the streets...
No more top notch booty
No more entourage to say "right boss"
I began to have nightmares
And in my nightmares, I was just a fucking nobody.
Laying at the beach, imagining myself being a vip!
Just like I was before...
Hearing the applause in my head
Beautiful warm embraces of superior members of the female gender...
