I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
我没有亲眼看到过钻石
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
我只在电影里看到过戒指
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn-up town
我的家住所不足持齿，破烂小镇
No post code envy
没人羡慕的区域
But every song's like gold teeth,Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
每首歌都在唱金钱 美酒 浴室里欢戏
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
流血，礼服，酒店里大闹
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
我们不在乎，我们在梦里开着凯迪拉克
But everybody's like cristal, maybach,diamonds on your time piece
每个人都在比开 香槟 跑车 镶在手表上的钻石
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
私人飞机，度假岛屿，老虎当宠物
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
我们不在乎，我们不留恋这种名声财富
And we'll never be royals..

It doesn't run in our blood,

that kind of lux (Short for Luxury) just ain't for us.
那种奢华本不属于我们
We crave a different kind of buzz.
我们追求的是一种截然不同的生活
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen Bee

And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

But every song's like gold teeth,grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
