Aristocrat
In the palace of Versailles, before the fall
We were wild, we were so debauched
Extravagance was practically a lot
If we ever got bored, we'd say "let's throw a ball"
You'd chase me naked through the palace garden
Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain
Eating cake with a little golden platter
They never really knew that I got here from the gutter
'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
Show me that you understand
C'mon and do it like only a poor kid can
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
In the middle of the night
The ladies of the court
Would cat fight tryna be the king's consort
I'm sorry B, he's hot for me
La Comtesse to poverty
Me and Marie dressed in head to toe in diamonds
With an orchestra to drown out all the violence
And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto
But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto
'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
Show me that you understand
C'mon and do it like only a poor kid can
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Out of fire
Out of fire
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
We were wild, we were so debauched
Extravagance was practically a lot
If we ever got bored, we'd say "let's throw a ball"
You'd chase me naked through the palace garden
Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain
Eating cake with a little golden platter
They never really knew that I got here from the gutter
'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
Show me that you understand
C'mon and do it like only a poor kid can
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
In the middle of the night
The ladies of the court
Would cat fight tryna be the king's consort
I'm sorry B, he's hot for me
La Comtesse to poverty
Me and Marie dressed in head to toe in diamonds
With an orchestra to drown out all the violence
And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto
But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto
'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
Show me that you understand
C'mon and do it like only a poor kid can
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Out of fire
Out of fire
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
Oh, aristocrat
Oh, dance like an aristocrat
