Verse 1: Verse 1:
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I was left to my own devices
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies Many days fell away with nothing to show
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no postcode envy
Prechorus:
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Bridge: Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Chorus:
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room But if you close your eyes
We don't care Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams And if you close your eyes
But everybody's like Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair Verse 2:
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
Chorus: In your pose as the dust settled around us
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood Bridge:
That kind of luxe just ain't for us Oh, where do we begin?
We crave a different kind of buzz The rubble or our sins?
Let me be your ruler (ruler) Oh, oh, where do we begin?
You can call me queen bee The rubble or our sins?
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy

Verse 2:
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 didn't come from money
