Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on weddin' rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no post code envy
[Verse 2]
But everybody's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstain, ballgown, trashin' their hotel room
We don't care, we drive Cadillacs in our dreams
Everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds in your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we ain't caught up in your love affair
[Verse 3]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
This kinda luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kinda buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
And you can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
[Verse 4]
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
We count our pennies on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money
[Verse 5]
But everybody's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstain, ballgowns, trashin' their hotel room
We don't care, we drive Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we ain't caught up in your love affair
[Verse 6]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
This kinda luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kinda buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
And you can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me be that fantasy
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh (Royals)
We're better than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with bein' a queen
Ah, oh
[Verse 8]
And we'll never be royals (Royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kinda luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kinda buzz
Let me be your ruler (Ruler)
And you can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me be that fantasy
Oh, let me be that fantasy
Oh, mmm
