Royals
Sam Behymer Lyrics

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I have never actually seen a real diamond in my life

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
My knowledge and imagination of wedding rings come solely from what I've seen depicted in movies

And I'm not proud of my address
I am not proud of the place where I come from

In the torn up town
The place where I come from is not very prosperous or well-maintained

No post code envy
I am content with where I come from and do not envy people who live in more glamorous areas

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose
Every popular song seems to glorify excessive spending on luxury items like gold and expensive alcohol

Trippin' in the bathroom
People at parties frequently use drugs in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns
Parties can get wild and messy, resulting in stains on fancy clothing

Trashin' the hotel room
Some people at parties act so recklessly that they end up damaging hotel rooms

We don't care
We are uninterested in or unconcerned with these kinds of excessive behaviors

We're driving cadillacs in our dreams
We have aspirations for a luxurious lifestyle, but in reality, we are not living that way

But everybody's like cristal, maybach
Everyone seems to be obsessed with expensive champagne and cars

Diamonds on your timepiece
People are obsessed with having diamonds on their watches

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
People are obsessed with owning or having access to extravagant things like private jets, islands, and exotic animals

We aren't caught up in your love affair
We are not interested in the extravagant lifestyles of celebrities and the wealthy

And we'll never be royals
We don't come from royalty and we don't expect to ever achieve that level of wealth or status

It don't run in our blood
The lifestyle of the wealthy is not something that is innate or natural to us

That kind of lux just ain't for us
That level of luxury is not something we aspire to or feel is important for our happiness

We crave a different kind of buzz
We are looking for a different kind of excitement and fulfillment in life

Let me be your ruler
Let me take control and be in charge

You can call me queen bee
You can refer to me as the leader or most important person

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
I will take charge and be in control of the situation

Let me live that fantasy
Let me experience the kind of lifestyle that I imagine and dream about

My friends and I, we've cracked the code
My friends and I have figured out a way to have a good time without spending a lot of money

We count our dollars on the train to the party
We have a limited budget and are careful with our spending

And everyone who knows us knows
Our friends and acquaintances are aware of our mindset and lifestyle
