Lucky Me Lyrics
[Intro]
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay (Woah)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh (Woah)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay (Hey)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh
(Right about now)
[Verse 1]
Lights on, stage set, huh
I guess I gotta put on a show again 'cause everyone's waiting
Females, fly jets
When I turn the radio on, I hear all my songs play, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever money can buy, I've probably got it
And that's real talk (Oh-oh, oh-oh), yeah
I see my name in the sky all over the world (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I just sit here saying
[Chorus]
Lucky me, I gotta pose for the cameras
Even when my world's falling down, I still wear a smile
Lucky me, even though I'm so damaged
Gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd (For the crowd)
Lucky me
I pray none of my loved ones wanna be stars (Lucky me)
'Cause nobody said it'd be so hard (Lucky me)
Wouldn't put this on no one else, else (Lucky me)
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay (Woah)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh (Woah)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay (Hey)
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh
(Right about now)
[Verse 1]
Lights on, stage set, huh
I guess I gotta put on a show again 'cause everyone's waiting
Females, fly jets
When I turn the radio on, I hear all my songs play, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever money can buy, I've probably got it
And that's real talk (Oh-oh, oh-oh), yeah
I see my name in the sky all over the world (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I just sit here saying
[Chorus]
Lucky me, I gotta pose for the cameras
Even when my world's falling down, I still wear a smile
Lucky me, even though I'm so damaged
Gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd (For the crowd)
Lucky me
I pray none of my loved ones wanna be stars (Lucky me)
'Cause nobody said it'd be so hard (Lucky me)
Wouldn't put this on no one else, else (Lucky me)
[Post-Chorus]
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
So exclusive
I don't have to wait in the line, it's like the club is mine now
If it was only that simple
Then what I'm saying is easy to do (Easy to do) and we know that's not true (That's not true), oh, nah
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever money can buy, I've probably got it
And that's real talk (Oh-oh, oh-oh), yeah
I see my name in the sky all over the world (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I just sit here saying
[Chorus]
Lucky me, I gotta pose for the cameras
Even when my world's falling down, I still wear a smile
Lucky me, even though I'm so damaged
Gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd (For the crowd)

'Cause nobody said it'd be so hard (Lucky me)
Wouldn't put this on no one else, else (Lucky me)
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-ay
Hi-li-hi-li-hi-li
Hi-oh-i-oh-oh

[Bridge]
My dream and it's my heart, the life of being a star
You don't even know how hard it is, do you? Yeah
Now I'm thankful for everything and I'm finally becoming a man
Now I gotta bigger show to do
[Chorus]
Lucky me, I gotta pose for the cameras
Even when my world's falling down, I still wear a smile (Oh)
Lucky me, even though I'm so damaged (So damaged)
Gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd (For the crowd)
Lucky me
Pray none of my loved ones wanna be stars (Lucky me)
'Cause nobody said it'd be so hard (Lucky me)
I wouldn't wish this on no one else, else (Lucky me)

About
Genius Annotation
In “Lucky Me,” Chris reflects on the good and the bad that fame brings, with the hardships being overshadowed by the love for music and his fans.
The track incorporates Michael Jackson’s ““Man in the Mirror” melody in the bridge and is inspired by Jay-Z’s “Lucky Me,” with a few lines baring big resemblence to the rapper’s song.
