I wrote this song with my producer about one of these guys, The song is pretty self explanatory, but we wrote it the way we did to not only pick fun at the boy but also at me. The chorus is explaining how basically I am going to take the guys place and be obnoxious myself. Oh the irony...

Lyrics

White shades, top down,
There you go trying to act like somebody famous,
But baby, if it wasn't for me,
Nobody would know what your name is.

Hey, boy,
Didn't you know?
Life ain't no reality show.
I'm gonna win this fight,
And I'm sorry to say you lose,
You lose.

Baby, tonight,
Hope you like this attitude.
Hope you like my careless mood,
'Cause I'm already over you.
You're gonna have to make it on your own somehow.
Not gonna let you bring me down.
I don't need your spotlight.
Got my own light,
'Cause everybody wants to be me tonight.

Dressed up, chin up,
Strike a pose.
Guess what, nobody's lookin' at you now.
You and your girlfriend,
You're so fake.
I bet you wish somebody was watchin'.

Hey, boy.
You had your chance.
Now, I'm gonna hit it hard on the dance floor.
This has been real fun, but I don't need you anymore,
Anymore.

Baby, tonight,
Hope you like this attitude.
Hope you like my careless mood,
'Cause I'm already over you.
You're gonna have to make it on your own somehow.
Not gonna let you bring me down.
I don't need your spotlight.
Got my own light,
'Cause everybody wants to be me tonight.

What, what?
Come on and turn it up.
Everybody wants to party with me, tonight.
What, what?
Come on and burn it up.
Everybody wants to party with me. tonight.
Hey, hey!
Comeon and turn it up.
Everybody wants to be with me, tonight.
What, what?
Come on and burn it up.
Everybody wants to party with me, tonight.

Baby, tonight,
Hope you like this attitude.
Hope you like my careless mood,
'Cause I'm already over you.
You're gonna have to make it on your own somehow.
Not gonna let you bring me down.
I don't need your spotlight.
Got my own light,
'Cause everybody wants to be me tonight.
