"dollar signs" lyrics

"dollar signs"

I tried to write this song 'bout two times
Maybe even three before I realised
I needed to try with somebody that looked like me
That looked like me

My struggles are concepts and it's dollar signs they see
I'm a voice you want with a face that you need
Tryna pay me less in the tax of my fees
See me on your fee as I defeat

Don't trust me
Please don't love me
I'm a fraud, I sold out
Don't let me be a hoax
Forgive me

To them I'm made of plastic, their token
In return they win what's golden
I'm in no position by nature
The glass between them and us creatures

Don't trust me
Please don't love me
I'm a fraud, I sold out
Don't let me be a hoax
Forgive me

Don't trust me
Please don't love me
I'm a fraud, I sold out
Don't let me be a hoax
Forgive me

(Golden, worthy of holding
I was golden, golden, golden)

I tried to write this song 'bout two times
Maybe even three before I realised
I needed to try with somebody that looked like me
That looked like me
