Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm a yacht, yeah
Riding through the waves of the hate and the fame
They keep talkin', they keep clickin'
Typin' every word they thinkin'
Oh, but honey I ain't sinkin'
This is champagne I be drinkin'
I'm a yacht, yeah
I cost a million bucks
And I'm givin' zero fucks
While I rise above these ducks
I'm cruising by them hoes
Yeah, and I'm wishin' them some luck
[Verse 1]
Attention is a form of flattery
I'm rechargin' my battery
So I can raise my salary
Captain! Tequila and a dacquiry
Take in every calorie
My ass can make the gallery
And I, I'm a million dollar karat
If it's luxury I wear it
It's expensive I declare it
Wake up! Glam arrives at eight
I might be a little late
While I'm bathin' in the hate
[Chorus]
I'm a yacht, yeah
Riding through the waves of the hate and the fame
They keep talkin', they keep clickin'
Typin' every word they thinkin'
Oh, but honey I ain't sinkin'
This is champagne I be drinkin'
I'm a yacht, yeah
I cost a million bucks
And I'm givin' zero fucks
While I rise above these ducks
I'm cruising by them hoes
Yeah, and I'm wishin' them some luck
[Verse 2]
My pony big like Ari
Spritzed by Bulgari
Nails match Ferrari
And I, if I look like her I'm sorry
You can search me on Safari
Not a stormy I'm a starry
And I, I'm the Cuban Barbie doll
Medium and a small
My picture hanging on your wall
Ridin' first class, you in economy
Lips by a needle
Bitch by biology
[Outro]
Five bags to each wrist
Not on my shopping list
My knuckles spell 'bitch'
When I bring 'em to a fist
It's good to get pissed
Livin' like an heiress
You should be embarrassed
But you can be dismissed
