lyrics

VERSE I
woke up, don’t know what to do yet
a lil’ bit stressed, so it makes her upset
one more excuse to claim she’s depressed
chunked out her pills, that’s one more expense
could spend that cash on brand new breasts
would love for a man to stare at her chest
only wanting her to get undressed
thinking that’ll cure her lonliness
said it out loud, sounded ridiculous
retail therapy’ll take care of it
hopped outta bed, jumped in her Corvette
if she had a runway, she’d purchase a jet
instead there’s a runway to model her dress
off the the mall because she’s obsessed
maxed out credit cards, princess of bling
shops like a bull...charges everything

PRE-CHORUS
never looked down upon cause it’s wanted
instead they are jealous, you have it all
it's what to expect when objects are flaunted
before you know, your family’s in a hole

CHORUS
oniomania, oniomania, she’s goin’ crazy cause addiction lies in everything
oniomania, oniomania, only has one true love, addiction lies in everything
oniomania, oniomania, she’s goin’ crazy cause addiction lies in everything
slow it down Mami...instead of spendin’ so much money,
I wish you’d spend some time with me

VERSE II
he’s always had a dream
always looked up to the people on the screen
actors, rappers, star athletes
respected the players that have the bling-bling
only wanting to be the next big thing
before he did that, had to get a pinky ring
purchase a necklace and diamond ear rings
they’re cubic zirconia...between you and me
oooo-weeee, had to sip on some lean
rims on his ride with them lil’ spinny things
grill in his mouth, don’t even own a house
caught up in the images that plague the south
obsessed with the ice, but the price ain’t right
don't use that excuse to screw up your life
can’t brand your name without name-brand things
hopin' it'll cover up insecurities

PRE-CHORUS
never looked down upon cause it’s wanted
instead they are jealous, you have it all
it's what to expect when objects are flaunted
before you know, your family’s in a hole

CHORUS
oniomania, oniomania, he’s goin’ crazy cause addiction lies in everything
oniomania, oniomania, only has one true love, addiction lies in everything
oniomania, oniomania, he’s goin’ crazy cause addiction lies in everything
slow it down Papi...instead of spendin’ so much money...
I wish you’d spend some time with me
