[Verse 1]
I've been trying to run my life
Using every trick I knew
I say anything anytime to anybody
I do what I always wanted to

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's no way to keep me happy
It's an old disguise
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise

[Verse 2]
I can't seem to end my day
Until I feel something's said and done
A flashy guitar or a hot new car
Or at least a little fun

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's no way to keep me healthy
It's an old disguise
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise

[Chorus]
Drop it. Drop it. It's an old disguise
Drop it. Drop it. Open up your eyes
Drop it. Drop it. You ain't got nine lives
Drop it. Drop it

[Pre-Chorus]
But that's no way to keep me healthy
It's an old disguise
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise

[Chorus]
Drop it. Drop it. It's an old disguise
Drop it. Drop it. Open up your eyes
Drop it. Drop it. You ain't got nine lives
Drop it. Drop it
