YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB - Popstar

〈Verse 1〉:
I'm running as fast as I can
But I'm not going anywhere
Want my name in lights every night
Not on a locker plate
Want me a VIP pass
Paparazzi on my ass
Win like 5 Grammy awards
Then I'm headed on tour
Need a Roli on my wrist
A villa in the Hills
An olympic pool
And a super fast whip

〈Chorus〉:
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
I want my flowers 'fore the lights go out
Wanna die on stage carried by the crowd, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time to shine
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
Give me my flowers 'fore the lights go out
I need something to keep me up at night, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time, yeah

〈Vеrse 2〉:
Sick of running after pay checks
That barеly cover rent
Wasting all of my good days
Sitting on a train
I deserve rich people problems
Like getting lost in my closet
Too many bills in my wallet
'Shit, I can't find my Amex'
Want a beach house in Mexico
A ski house in Colorado
My songs on the radio
A billion on my videos
Won't be feeling no stress
Talking to Hollywood press
MTV's next
Then I'll take pictures with fans
〈Chorus〉:
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
I want my flowers 'fore the lights go out
Wanna die on stage carried by the crowd, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time to shine
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
Give me my flowers 'fore the lights go out
I need something to keep me up at night, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time, yeah

〈Bridge〉:
I'm a motherfucking popstar
Know I'm gonna go far
Like Bron back in '05
I'm a fucking All-Star
My time will come
It's just begun

〈Chorus〉:
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
I want my flowers 'fore the lights go out
Wanna die on stage carried by the crowd, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time to shine
I gotta make it 'fore it all falls down, yeah
Give me my flowers 'fore the lights go out
I need something to keep me up at night, yeah
I'm popstar waiting for my time, yeah

22 year-old French singer, songwriter, producer and mix engineer YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB has been quietly working on new music in the past year whilst producing and engineering for other artists. When she previously performed as MJ Bodson, she was known for her minimalist approach to songwriting and producing. After much thought and a rebrand, she’s approaching music differently — infusing alternative pop with sprinkles of popular African music such as soukous and makossa, as well as alternative R&B and Garage to create her own unique sound.
