Diamonds & Gold
Mac Miller Lyrics

She keep on gettin' played like it's recess, break her heart's a reflex
She's constantly in relationships that leave her heartbroken, as if it's just a game of playtime for the guys she's involved with.

She want to hit the beach, and show her titties down in Key West
She desires a tropical getaway where she can flaunt her body without judgment or criticism.

Someone leave her crying all the time and now she finally out of Kleenex
She's exhausted from constantly being let down by guys, and has used up all her tissues from crying so much.

Sick of dudes not givin' her the respect
She's tired of being treated poorly and not given the respect she deserves as a woman.

'Cause really she a genius, a CEO

Tryin' to be on top alone, she don't keep them close

She been waitin' for the opportunity to be a boss

Tough bitch, probably would've thought she played lacrosse

Sick of bein' soft with her heart broken all the time

Want some money too, fuckin' dudes
She wants financial success and is willing to use men for her own gain.

And falling all in love with who, was nothin' new

Only coming through to bust a nut or two

She just need her family like the Huxtables

Ain't gonna trust you, but she gonna fuck you

She wants diamonds, she wants gold

But she's scared to let you get too close
She's hesitant to let people get too close to her because of past experiences with heartbreak and disappointment.

And they've been looking, so they been finding

In high school they were callin' her a slut

Middle finger to them hoes, all them bitches had it comin'

Yeah, on top of the world, she lookin' down

Invite you to the crib, let you look around
