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 postcode 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 Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tiger’s on a gold leash We don’t care We aren’t caught up in your love affair And we’ll never be royals It don’t run in our blood That kind of lux just ain’t for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler You can call me queen bee and baby I’ll rule 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 We’re fine with this- We didn’t come for money We’re bigger than we ever dream And I’m in love with being queen Life is great without a care We aren’t caught up in your love affair |
Define for me the word “fame”
When all I see is hype There’s a difference between them both As I spot from my suburban life We don’t want your clothes They’re not fit beyond a runway We don’t want your drugs Go smoke them up in the backseat of your limo Did I forget to screw the limo? I’d prefer subtleness rather than conspicuity We don’t want your drama We have bigger problems that that Guess who’s the stronger folk We shall not be seated on the thrones We’re not bred for this life It just ain’t our birthright We’re on the outside looking in From a world that’s anything but contained You’re in a bubble With a crown weighing you down from floating away We work jobs and pay loads/loans to be educated We escape into clubs and beer bottles and Netflix streamings for recreation We are so terribly, terribly complex But that’s what makes us The 99 percent Guess who’s the stronger folk The celebrity or the civilian Guess who’s the legit folk The person of luxury or the human of reality |
