Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Billy had dreams of a sailor or an astronaut
Nobody told him the world was mean
Billy grew up in a trailer and nobody thought
He could amount to anything
[Verse 2]
But I knew he would because he has a heart of gold
Whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Ay, whoa, well, look who's laughing now
'Cause Billy bought a brand new house
To all the people that were mean
He just channeled your energy
[Verse 4]
And ay, whoa, well, look who's laughing now
Yeah, he said, "Thank you for your doubts"
To all the people that believed
He just channeled your energy
[Verse 5]
Billy woke up in a Tesla at 23
He didn't think he earned the right
And Billy got down under pressure at 24
He couldn't go to bed at night
[Verse 6]
'Cause he saw the world come crashing down the way it does
Oh whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 7]
Ay, whoa, well, look who's laughing now
'Cause Billy bought a brand new house
To all the people that were mean
He just channeled your energy
[Verse 8]
And ay, whoa, well, look who's laughing now
Yeah, he said, "Thank you for your doubts"
To all the people that believed
He just channeled your energy
[Verse 9]
Now Billy is free
It's Billy, oh-whoa-oh, whoa-oh
It's Billy, it's Billy, it's Billy
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, alright
Woo
