Rags to Riches
From Rags to Riches: Chasing the A-list Dream with Amanda Ayala
Lyrics
Paper town oh you've got to get out
Expressing a desire to leave a mundane or unfulfilling place ("Paper town")
Move to the city that's what it's all about
Encouraging a move to the city as a means to achieve aspirations
And get a good job so you're well off
Emphasizing the importance of securing a good job for financial stability
And live for the weekend until it restarts again
Highlighting the cyclical nature of working for the weekend
Cause we just want to be famous the A-list
Desiring fame and being part of the A-list celebrity circle
On the cover of magazines
Aspiring to be featured on magazine covers
Flying through New York to L.A.
Imagining the glamorous lifestyle of flying between New York and L.A.
Livin' the Hollywood dream
Dreaming of living the Hollywood dream
And talk about our love life in tabloids
Discussing personal love life in tabloids as part of celebrity culture
But I guess it's the price you pay
Acknowledging the sacrifices (price) for seeking fame
When you wanna just make it be A-list
Expressing the desire to reach A-list status and trade humble beginnings for wealth and fame
Trade the rags for the rich and the fame
Explicitly stating the goal of exchanging poverty for wealth and fame
Because a nine to five just ain't my life
Rejecting a traditional nine-to-five life in favor of a more lavish lifestyle
I want a credit card with infinite swipes
Expressing a desire for financial freedom and luxury
I want an Off White shirt the Hermès' purse
Listing specific high-end items (Off White shirt, Hermès' purse) as aspirations
I need a Rolex watch to flex what I got
Expressing a desire for a Rolex watch to showcase success
Give me the fancy cars and private jets
Wanting extravagant possessions like fancy cars and private jets
Don't wanna just scrape by to pay my rent
Rejecting a modest life and aiming for financial prosperity
A Calabasas home the French Château
Listing dream homes (Calabasas and French Château)
Give me a diamond ring and stacks to blow
Desiring a diamond ring and significant wealth
Cause we just want to be famous the A-list
Reiteration of the desire for fame and A-list status
On the cover of magazines
Repeating the aspiration to be featured on magazine covers
Flying through New York to L.A
Repeating the imagery of flying between New York and L.A.
Livin' the Hollywood dream
Reiterating the dream of living the Hollywood lifestyle
And talk about our love life in tabloids
Continuing the theme of sharing personal love life in tabloids
But I guess it's the price you pay
Acknowledging the sacrifices and challenges of seeking fame
When you wanna just make it be A-list
Reiterating the desire to reach A-list status despite the challenges
Trade the rags for the rich and the fame
Repeating the theme of trading humble beginnings for wealth and fame
Oh god I wanna be famous an A-list
Expressing a strong desire to be famous and part of the A-list
On the cover of magazines
Repeating the aspiration to be featured on magazine covers
Flying through New York to L.A
Reiterating the imagery of flying between New York and L.A.
It's always been my dream
Affirming that the dream of fame has always been a personal aspiration
Cause we just want to be famous the A-list
Reiteration of the desire for fame and A-list status
On the cover of magazines
Repeating the aspiration to be featured on magazine covers
Flying through New York to L.A
Reiterating the imagery of flying between New York and L.A.
Livin' the Hollywood dream
Reiterating the dream of living the Hollywood lifestyle
And talk about our love life in tabloids
Continuing the theme of sharing personal love life in tabloids
But I guess it's the price you pay
Acknowledging the sacrifices and challenges of seeking fame
When you wanna just make it be A-list
Reiterating the desire to reach A-list status despite the challenges
Trade the rags for the rich and the fame
Repeating the theme of trading humble beginnings for wealth and fame
