[[Intro]]
(Short instrumental intro with a hopeful atmosphere)
[[Verse 1]]
Same old grind, just feeling really low,
On my way home, a lottery ticket, you know.
Slipped it in my wallet, nice and neat,
If I win big, I'm outta here, can't be beat!
[[Pre-Chorus]]
Today, just another day, same old scene,
Just kinda hoping for a lucky gleam.
With a small hope, I watch the numbers show,
The first one hit – now maybe they will flow!
Tomorrow, my future, just like today,
Coming 'round the corner in the usual way.
With a shaky hand, I watch the screen so bright,
The second one hit – things are looking right!
[[Chorus]]
Need that lottery just to get by through the day (through the day)!
Need that lottery for my rich dreams to play (dreams to play)!
Buying tickets feels good, full of thrilling vibes (thrilling vibes)!
Happy all day long, just smiling, my spirit thrives (spirit thrives)!
[[Verse 2]]
On the couch, just watching TV,
Pulled out my lottery ticket, just to see.
Staring hard at the numbers, one by one,
If I win big, I'm totally gone!
[[Pre-Chorus]]
Today, just another day, same old scene,
Just kinda hoping for a lucky gleam.
With a small hope, I watch the numbers show,
The first one hit – now maybe they will flow!
Tomorrow, my future, just like today,
Coming 'round the corner in the usual way.
With a shaky hand, I watch the screen so bright,
The second one hit – things are looking right!
[[Chorus]]
Need that lottery just to get by through the day (through the day)!
Need that lottery for my rich dreams to play (dreams to play)!
Buying tickets feels good, full of thrilling vibes (thrilling vibes)!
Happy all day long, just smiling, my spirit thrives (spirit thrives)!
[[Rap]]
Third number hit, I sat up so fast,
Fourth number hit, a shout, "Oh, that's a blast!"
Fifth number hit, I felt a chill run deep,
Last number hit, the world just stopped! I'm in too deep!
[[Bridge]]
Now I'll snag a brand new ride, shiny and grand,
Endorphins rush, I'll quit this job by hand.
No more work on Monday, weekdays I'm so free,
Let's just fly away, see the world, just you and me!
[[Chorus]]
Need that lottery just to get by through the day (through the day)!
Need that lottery for my rich dreams to play (dreams to play)!
Buying tickets feels good, full of thrilling vibes (thrilling vibes)!
Happy all day long, just smiling, my spirit thrives (spirit thrives)!
[[Bridge 2]]
The day I went to claim the prize, the truth hit hard,
My ticket was from last week, I'd played the wrong card!
How could something like this happen, oh man?
Feeling so lost, what was my whole plan?
[[Chorus]]
Need that lottery just to get by through the day (through the day)!
Need that lottery for my rich dreams to play (dreams to play)!
Buying tickets feels good, full of thrilling vibes (thrilling vibes)!
Happy all day long, just smiling, my spirit thrives (spirit thrives)!
[[Outro]]
