Velvet thrift coat, walk like gold, My kingdom’s in a one-bed cold. Got champagne dreams, boxed wine real, Landlords rule, but I steal the feel. Still broke, still bold, Still iced in fool’s gold. I’m rent’s due royalty, Ballin' on anxiety. No crown but I talk like a king, Flexin’ with a dollar and a dream. Oh I reign in overdrawn glory, Baby, broke is just a story. Shoes scuffed like my credit score, But I strut like I own the floor. Living off that paycheck pride, We the broke boys that never hide. They got yachts, we got vibes. Can’t repo that tonight. Rent’s due royalty, King of the overdraft scene. No gold, but I still gleam.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Fuzzy guitar riff, lazy drums—low-key but cocky entrance, like a broke king waking up late.] [Verse 1: Swung groove, grungy bass—swagger with self-aware glam.] Velvet thrift coat, walk like gold, My kingdom’s in a one-bed cold. Got champagne dreams, boxed wine real, Landlords rule, but I steal the feel. [Pre-Chorus: Stripped-back drums, heavy side-eye delivery—cool and confident.] Still broke, still bold, Still iced in fool’s gold. [Chorus: Big drop, theatrical flair—like a parade of broke brilliance.] I’m rent’s due royalty, Ballin' on anxiety. No crown but I talk like a king, Flexin’ with a dollar and a dream. Oh I reign in overdrawn glory, Baby, broke is just a story. [Verse 2: Dirty guitars with bounce, half-sung/half-spoken delivery—own that scuff.] Shoes scuffed like my credit score, But I strut like I own the floor. Living off that paycheck pride, We the broke boys that never hide. [Bridge: Whispered vocals + dramatic pause—tension and cheek.] They got yachts, we got vibes. Can’t repo that tonight. [Chorus: Layered vocals, groove peaks—full crown energy now.] Rent’s due royalty, King of the overdraft scene. No gold, but I still gleam.
