Don't you think that it's boring how people talk Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it Never not chasing a million things I want And I am only as young as the minute is full of it Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought But I know they'll never own me (Yeah) Baby be the class clown I'll be the beauty queen in tears It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah) We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah) Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space But my head's filling up with the wicked games, up in flames How can I f*ck with the fun again, when I'm known And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne But I know it's not forever (Yeah) Baby be the class clown I'll be the beauty queen in tears It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah) We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah) It looked alright in the pictures (Yeah) Getting caught soft with the triple is it I fall apart, with all my heart And you can watch from your window And you can watch from your window Baby be the class clown I'll be the beauty queen in tears It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah) We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah) And talk it up like yeah (Yeah) And talk it up like yeah (Yeah) Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah) And talk it up like yeah (Yeah) And talk it up like yeah (Yeah) Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (Yeah)
