Testo Penthouse Pauper

Testo Penthouse Pauper

Now if I were a bricklayer,
I wouldnt build just anything,
If I was a ballplayer,
I wouldnt play no second string,
And if I were some jewelry, baby,
Lord, Id have to be a diamond ring,
If I was a secret, you know I would never be told,
If I was a jug of wine,
Lord, my flavor would be plenty old,
I could be most anything,
But it got to be 24-karat solid gold

Chorus:
Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name
Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,
I can be most anything,
cause when you got nothin its all the same

If I was a gambler, you know Id never lose,
And if I were a guitar player,
Id have to play the blues

If I was a hacksaw (hatchet), my blade would be razor sharp,
If I were a politician, I could prove money could talk,
You can find the tallest building,
Lord, you know Id have the house on top

Chorus:
Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name
Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,
I can be most anything,
cause when you got nothin its all the same
