Trust Fund Baby
Why Don't We Lyrics

I don't want a girl who gets a car for her sweet sixteen
I don't want a girl who is used to getting everything handed to her on a silver platter, even something as extravagant as a car on her sixteenth birthday.

Or spends a stack of dollar bills on a limousine
I don't want a girl who flaunts her wealth and throws money around recklessly on luxury items like limousines.

I want a girl who takes the bus and who wears baggy jeans
I want a girl who is humble and practical, who doesn't feel entitled to a luxurious lifestyle and is comfortable with simplicity, like wearing baggy jeans and taking the bus.

Rockin' Nike Airs, what the hell are Louboutins?
I prefer a girl who is comfortable in her own skin and chooses her sneakers based on comfort and practicality rather than brand name, expensive shoes that can barely be worn.

Don't want no fake tan, short skirt, daddy's money don't work
I don't want a girl who relies on physical beauty enhancers like fake tans and very short skirts, while depending solely on her father's wealth.

Shop until you drop on the town
I don't want a girl whose only hobby is shopping and who spends all her time and money on it.

I want a smart girl, stronger than her father
I desire a girl who is smart and independent, who has her own goals and ambitions and can stand up to her father and the world.

Someone who will laugh at tryna fit in the crowd
I want a girl who is unique and confident in who she is and who won't try to fit into a crowd or follow trends just to belong.

And all we used to dream about
We used to have dreams and aspirations of our own.

Is getting rich and getting out
Our dream was to become wealthy and leave the place where we grew up behind.

Move to the nicer part of town
We wanted to move to a more upscale neighborhood.

Where we'd have numbers on our house
Our dream was to own our own house, which we would be proud of and could symbolize our success.

It took a while to figure out
It was a long process to discover what we truly wanted in life and in a partner.

What type of girl that I'm about
We had to figure out what kind of girl we wanted to pursue, based on our own values and aspirations.

Who brings the real man out of me, yeah
We wanted a girl who would challenge us and bring out the best in us, who would inspire us to be better men.

I don't really want no trust fund baby
I don't want a girl who inherits a lot of money and doesn't understand the value of hard work.

I like my women independent
I prefer a woman who is self-sufficient and doesn't rely on anyone for her financial or emotional needs.

And I say to people, "That's my lady"
I am proud to introduce this woman as my girlfriend or partner.

And we don't need nothing else
We don't need anything else to be happy, as long as we have each other.

Save your money, don't spend it
I advise my partner to save her money instead of spending it recklessly, so we can plan for a future together.

I don't want a girl who takes selfies, want her makeup free
I prefer natural beauty and authenticity over superficial, heavily edited selfies and a lot of makeup.

Don't want no mean girl, lady in pink, prom queen
I don't want a girl who is superficial and acts like a mean girl, or who conforms to societal norms of being a pink-wearing, prom queen type of girl.

I want a girl who climbs trees, always dirt on her jeans
I prefer a girl who is adventurous and unafraid to explore nature and the outdoors, even if it means getting dirty.

Her daddy told her how to fix cars, maybe she could fix me
I admire a girl who is knowledgeable and independent enough to fix cars on her own, and I hope that she can teach me a thing or two about it.

I want a throwback kid who loves Missy Elliot
I desire a girl who shares my love for throwback music and artists like Missy Elliot.

Who for my birthday, makes a mixtape and puts it on cassette
I appreciate a girl who is creative and thoughtful enough to make me a mixtape on my birthday as a gift, even using an outdated cassette tape format.

Want a girl with common sense, who's dripping in competence
I want a girl who is intelligent and competent in her work and personal life, who has common sense and can make wise decisions.

Don't wanna die to get rich but she loves Fifty Cent
I don't want to risk my life to become rich, but I appreciate a girl who enjoys rap music and artists like Fifty Cent.

I don't want me
I don't want to become entitled or reliant on someone else's wealth, but rather build my own success and find a partner who can match my values and aspirations.

I just want me a proper lady
I desire a woman who is dignified, classy, and has self-respect, who can hold her own in any situation.
