I could pretend, I'm a Vanderbilt. I could pretend, I'm a Rockefeller. I could pretend, I'm a Roosevelt. All names associated with wealth. I could pretend, I'm a Kennedy. I could pretend ,I'm kin to the Gates. Except, I rather be me. Yes, I rather be me. And yes, it's a personal thing. For as much as I pretend to be wealthy. Reality will eventually set in for me to see. That my world is so much different than theirs. No mansion. No expensive cars. No hire help. Nothing even close to that. Except myself.

I Could Pretend
I could pretend, I'm a Vanderbilt. I could pretend, I'm a Rockefeller. I could pretend, I'm a Roosevelt. All names associated with wealth. I could pretend, I'm a Kennedy. I could pretend ,I'm kin to the Gates. Except, I rather be me. Yes, I rather be me. And yes, it's a personal thing. For as much as I pretend to be wealthy. Reality will eventually set in for me to see. That my world is so much different than theirs. No mansion. No expensive cars. No hire help. Nothing even close to that. Except myself.
