[Verse 1: B.o.B] Yeah yo, let's pretend like it's '98 Like I'm eatin' lunch off of Styrofoam trays Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-Town) Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage And when my beat drops everybody goes insane Okay, and everybody know my name (Bob) And everywhere I go people want to hear me sang Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album On the first week I did 500 thousand Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall And then a world tour just to top it all off And let's pretend like they call me the greatest Selling out arenas with big ass stages And everybody loved me and no one ever hated Let's try to use imagination

[Verse 2: B.o.B] Okay, let's pretend like this never happened Like I never had dreams of being a rapper Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes Like I never used to run away into the blackness Now, let's pretend like it was all good Like I didn't live staring in the notebook Like I did the things that I probably knew I should But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood Yo, now let's pretend like I ain't got a name Before they ever called me B.o.B or A.K.A. Bobby Ray I'm talking back before the mixtapes Before the videos and the deals and the fame Before they ever once compared me to Andre (3000) Before I ever got on MySpace Before they ever noticed my face So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes
