Stunt Queen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, Kurosawa, let's be clear, I am not your mate
I did not come to kick you, I came here to collect
So tell me something other than "The money's been spent"
Better start talking
Oh, Kurosawa, let's be clear, I know all the tricks
But I did not come to gas you through, I came to get rich
So, if you want to test me, you will pick up a stitch
Better start talking

[Chorus]
I've got friends in high places
I know what you don't know
Been 'round the block a while
In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

[Verse 2]
Kurosawa, let's be clear, I am no local
See, I am not the one for your shenanigans
And if you want to try me, I will give you the most
Better start talking

[Pre-Chorus]
All these youth think they've changed the game
Running 'round my ends in their SUVs
Talking grease out the side of they neck
No one likes a grass
I don't give a fuck about Cindy Lou
If you get your mans, I'll get mine too
And I'll show you what this old-timer can do
[Chorus]
I've got friends in high places
I know what you don't know
Been 'round the block a while
In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

[Pre-Chorus]
All these youth think they've changed the game
Prancing 'round my ends in Huaraches and fades
A few more reps on chest day, son
If you wanna contend
See, I don't give a fuck about the Old Bill
If you bring the filth, I'll bring my goons
And I'll show you what this old-timer can do
Sayonara

[Chorus]
I've got friends in high places
I know what you don't know
Been 'round the block a while
In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two
I've got friends in high places
I know what you don't know
Been 'round the block a while
In my time, I've pulled a stunt or two

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
