Hollywood and New York, Mister Major
Then there's me, little queen of the stage, yeah
He's a god, one the stars call creator
Hail the king of the industry players

Pick me up in your white Lamborghini
London town, you’ll watch out while I'm singing
Glamorous on the stage, boy, believe me
Keep your girl back, no competing
Eyein' you from across the room
Watching me, w-watching you

It’s money and technology, together we’d be deadly
