Kat Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's the precious one of all,
I think that I am sassy,
I know that I am.
Mirror mirror on the wall.
Sassy girl that's what I'm called,
I think that I am sassy,
I know that I am.
I'm sassy, sassy as I wanna,
Picture perfect poster girl
Yeah I'm off the wall.
Raise your hands my sexy girls,
My classy girl,
Independent flashy girl.
Watch your own cash falls rocks and pearls?
Drive your rims with your sassy girl?
My lipgloss and my bently,
My rims they cost your bently.
I am a sassy girl, I am
I am a sassy girl, I am.
My gucci to my prada
My prada to mascara
I am a sassy girl, I am
I am a sassy girl, Who me?
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the precious one of all,
I think that I am sassy,
I know that I am.

The chorus repeats this sentiment, with Graham asserting that she is "sassy as I wanna be."
Throughout the song, Graham lists off the material trappings of her confidence, from her designer clothing and accessories ("My lipgloss and my bently, / My gucci to my prada") to her own sense of self-worth ("I'm sexy, I'm classy, / It's so hard to wall pass me").
