I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envy

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It [bad word] in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be [bad word] (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word] Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we [bad word] from money

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It [bad word] in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be [bad word] (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word] Let me live that fantasy

ooh ooh oh ooh
We're better than we've every dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen

ooh ooh oh ooh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It [bad word] in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be [bad word] (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word]  [bad word] Let me live that fantasy
