But I can't get none of my homies on the guest list
C F
But fuck it they gas me up and call me famous
C G
Girls at the bar probably don't know what my name is
C F
But I ain't even trippin', you know I find it funny
C G
'Cause I bought a bunch of drugs with my merch money
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
Am G
And I just came to sing, maybe make a new fan

Sleep at a Red Roof Inn, yeah, they nice
C G
My homies shared a bed, so it's half the price

At least the venue gave me money for food

But what I do, I just skip the meal and bought more booze
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
Because I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
