[Outro] I'm drinking a soy latte I get a double shoté It goes right through my body, and you know I'm satisfied I drive my Mini Cooper, and I'm feeling super-dooper Yo, they tell I'm a trooper, and you know I'm satisfied I do yoga and pilates, and the room is full of hotties So I'm checking out the bodies, and you know I'm satisfied I'm digging on the isotopes, this metaphysics shit is dope And if all this can give me hope, you know I'm satisfied I got a lawyer and a manager, an agent and a chef Three nannies, an assistant, and a driver, and a jet A trainer, and a butler, and a bodyguard, or five A gardener and a stylist, do you think I'm satisfied? I'd like to express my extreme point of view I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew I'm just living out the American dream And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
