INTRO: I wanna know what you're used to baby / oh
DIAMONDS: Better lean on back / it’s full throttle to the max in the 2 door jag / dipped in all black gleemin’ like an artifact / if you don’t see where were heading take your face out the map / ride the I-5 glidin’ south of beverly hills / with my hand up on the wheel why'll your coppin’ a feel / lavish living this a sealed deal / valet parking next to Fred Siegel’s step out and it’s all real.
HOOK: But this can’t be what you’re used to / 5 star living with a view and it’s all new / but this can’t be what you’re used to / million dollar dreamin’ of a yacht and it comes true / but this can’t be what you’re used to / wines and fine dining by the beach out in Malibu / but this can’t be what you’re used to / naw / but this can’t be what you’re used to.
RUSHDEN: Yo kids these days want material things / lucky for me it’s so sweet when I’m back on the scene / I hit the I-5 88 Ferrari / white convertible top down so let’s party / Kenwood deck with the gold-plated panel / in rotation with the distro on Clear Channel / five star living I’ve been booked with no hassle / signed a deal with the lord in his castle (real professional) / back for round two R&D It’s official / arriving in your sizzle in a Lamborghini missile / like a three year lease on the pent house level / never front or I’ll have to go ahead and blow the whistle / live the high life / flashin’ bright rights / from the Testarossa flamin’ out the tale pipes / most of these girls drive around in Isuzus / but this cant be what your used you.

AFTERPARTY AFTERNOON
WRITTEN BY LORD DIAMONDS, MICHAEL RUSHDEN
PUBLISHED BY VOLUNTEER PUBLISHING (SOCAN)
HOOK: Back when you went down town and the night was still young you would text me photos like we were cool / but now the clubs shut down and nobody stuck around so I’ma tell you what we ought to do / I just wanna turn the lights off baby / so you can show me all the right stuff baby / I just wanna turn the lights off baby / because I know we've got the right stuff lately / afterparty afternoon.
RUSHDEN: Let me show you finer things through the rear view / white suit white whip and it seats two / exotic wines in a home out in Malibu / I'll be your man if your man can't afford you / so sit back and relax as I croon / I brought a few things that I asked you to choose / if you want to unwind I can master the mood / set the jets on smooth ‘til you feel a rare groove / as I list all the things that I own / a Wellcraft a yacht a Bertone / watching you get in the zone / dreaming of hearing you moan while I spray myself down with a Mennen cologne / let's make a magical moment that lasts for a lifetime and I know your mine like a perfectly treated and all seasoned and cut in its prime / I think you’re incredible.
HOOK: Repeat
DIAMONDS: You've been patient for a very long time it's a crime that you weren't on tour / but what I brought you girl is so hard to imagine your mind mustn't be impure / most fools would believe that flying overseas would relieve from their life so poor / but when I'm far from home and I ring your phone I just picture you dressed in velour / I like your style couture / faux crocodile and fur / slightly Armani but highly mature / based on my mood take my Bentley and fetch us some Moet for two while I warm up the pool / most have a sweet night / in the moonlight / like a honeymoon / but its business for me for a noon after party in the bedroom.
HOOK: Repeat
BRIDGE: Last time I asked you were not that into all the things I mentioned / said it wasn't real didn't feel the connection / drinkin’ on my own need an intervention / saw a name on your phone I didn't want to mention / I just wanna spend the afternoon where it's just me and you for a party of two / this time let's go and heat up the room / turn the lights down low to set the mood.
HOOK: Repeat

OWN WORLD FT. KELSEY MUSKE, DYLAN ROSS, ANGUS KHAN
WRITTEN BY ANGUS MCNEILLY, DYLAN ROSS, LORD DIAMONDS, MICHAEL RUSHDEN,
PUBLISHED BY VOLUNTEER PUBLISHING (SOCAN)
INTRO HOOK: I’m sick of living in my own world / I’m looking for a resolution / I’m sick of living in my own world / I’m sick of living in my own world.
RUSHDEN: Some times I feel like I don’t have enough / designer watches sport coats cigarettes by Davidoff / my life is tough / two pots of coffee but I’m feeling rough / no motivation just an empty void of priceless stuff / at least I’m buff / keys to the ‘Rari but I’m still bored / but I might leave town drive around going down right now in the Lambo floored / hard to be ignored / need a flight booked to get out the fort / no destination cause my life’s stuck in reverse boy / pray to the Lord.
DIAMONDS: Not around if you wanna get down / see I’m far outta town when I’m fixing my crown / not around baby anytime you need me / I’m not to be found other then a place of royalty / anytime I think of wealth I spend a G / sign a cheque and hopefully its over me / ’til I’m back on track on my ATV / ridin’ out to this sound potent poetry / with the most potent potency to keep it going G.
HOOK: I’m sick of living in my own world / I’m looking for a resolution / It’s like my face is just a cellphone / I’m sick of living in my own world / I’m sick of living in my own world
DYLAN ROSS: I had everything in the world then I left / headed out west got addicted to stress / broke my own heart / noticed when I woke up / patched it up with money walked down the stairs and broke up / the finest ever stormy weather on the coast up north looking for a new source of emotion / gale force wind coming in from the ocean / ring me what I want other then what I don’t get.
BRIDGE: I’m sick of living in my own world / my own world / my own world / my own world / I’m sick of living in my own world / my own world / my own world / my own world.
ANGUS KHAN: MTV is empty / it was tempting me with Bentleys / the entity of my soul is not sold on iPhone C technology or representing me / one kicked down in a motion / cult culture ain’t down to the potion / bolts rain down like Zeus in a motion / battery charge that large of emotion / check the components in this kid / blood skin bone no microchip / with a microphone and a light skinned bitch / no Tinder hoes no Plenty of Fish / God sent me through this so this is my toast / fuck what you live for if you is a ghost / I had a little now I got the most / straight from the gutter and back on the coast / ugh.
OUTRO HOOK: I’m sick of living in my own world / I’m sick of living where it’s all about me every day / I’m looking for a resolution / I think I’m looking for some others who are feelin’ the same / It’s like my face is just a cellphone / you rub your finger and my soul is stolen locked up away / I’m sick of living in my own world / aren’t there some others out there who are looking feelin’ the same / I’m sick of living in my own world.

DIAMONDS: I wasn’t used to all the stylish clothes you wear / you’d drive me crazy every time you’d do your hair / I felt so alive from the way you made me smile / too bad these things only lasted for a while / you used to call me everyday mommy / aye / but then you went another way mommy / aye / you used to want me to pay attention / aye / but now you get it on your own wit it / aye / I tried to stop but I couldn’t shake it / aye / the way I’m feelin’ it’s too hard to fake it / aye / I’d make a deal but you might break it / aye / The way it’s going there’s no way we’ll make it / aye / that’s how it is baby.

RUSHDEN: I used to be the guy that good girls would go for / pick you up at eight delighted at the front door / she was impressed how I dressed looking Roger Moore / Masarati colored white right by the shore / you’re never knowing how it goes ‘til your on the floor / covered in roses chocolate drops and you might score / but then I finally saw the light and it started war / when did these girls get sour nasty to the core / these days I’m doing my own thing and I won’t change / everything I bought back to the Bon Marche / back to the Bay / back to the pawn shop / if I see you on my street I’ma call the cops / exotic rugs and vacations are for me now / I’m glad I see now / how it has to be now / the Mike life is perfect / if you want a last time then I think we better curb it.
HOOK: Repeat
DIAMONDS: I can’t believe all the things that we used to / do together in your room as my first boo / you were renowned for your skills and I liked you / impressive manors on our date and a nice fruit / you’re never wanting things to change ‘til she meets the crew / then soon your driving in a Range filled with who’s who / off to the manor for a pool party in the nude / these kind of girls are not for one or even two / and so I made myself a vow on the album / what was the outcome / never give your pals rum / back to Rolls / back to private plane / the mile high club a figment of memory lane / British cars with the logo of a feline / New Zealand sweet wines / never do I wait in line / as a man of my stature I like cash signs / if you call me up boo it’s gonna be the last time.
