Lyrics

[00:00.77] I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
[00:05.32] I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
[00:12.28] And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
[00:19.50] No post code envy
[00:22.53] But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
[00:26.40] Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
[00:29.33] We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
[00:33.70] But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
[00:37.75] Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
[00:40.52] We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
[00:45.10] And we'll never be royals
[00:48.81] It don't run in our blood
[00:51.28] That kind of lux just ain't for us
[00:54.18] We crave a different kind of buzz
[00:56.31] Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
[01:02.05] And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule...)
[01:07.05] Let me live that fantasy
[01:13.92] My friends and I we've cracked the code
[01:19.14] We count our dollars on the train to the party
[01:25.04] And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
[01:32.89] We didn't come from money
[01:36.14] But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
[01:39.79] Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
[01:42.50] We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
[01:47.25] But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
[01:51.12] Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
[01:53.92] We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
[01:57.98] And we'll never be royals
[02:02.34] It don't run in our blood
[02:04.77] That kind of lux just ain't for us
[02:07.68] We crave a different kind of buzz
[02:09.76] Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
[02:15.70] And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule...)
[02:20.47] Let me live that fantasy
[02:22.96] (Oooh ooooh ohhh)
[02:28.77] We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
[02:31.57] and I'm in love with being queen
[02:34.16] (Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh)
[02:40.19] Life is game without a care
[02:41.93] We aren't caught up in your love affair
[02:43.68] And we'll never be royals
[02:47.39] It don't run in our blood
[02:49.80] That kind of lux just ain't for us
[02:52.73] We crave a different kind of buzz
[02:54.99] Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
[03:00.69] And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule...)
[03:05.64] Let me live that fantasy
