Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, Theresa

See, the thing is, you're just not good enough

Hahaha!

I don't think you heard me right (when I said)

That I will put up the fight

You either treat me with respect or get out, I disinfect

And I remove you from out my life

It slowly starts to make sense

No results and only suspense

'Cause you made up half your job and the interest's high as fuck

So why you taking percents, huh?

You greedy, need feeding

Had too many pies, now you're bleeding

Fuck the succeeding

So demeaning, working for a demon

Why you so greedy? Uh-uh

Finally, I see myself

It took its toll upon my mental health

Won't let another comment slide

Let you pass around my life

And pretend you had a plan this whole time

Pick me up then put me down

You're gonna miss me when I'm not around

'Cause I'm better on my own

And I'm finally in control

And you ain't never ever gonna tell me no

You greedy, need feeding

Had too many pies, now you're bleeding

Fuck the succeeding

So demeaning, working for a demon

Why you so greedy? Uh-uh

Greedy, need feeding

Had too many pies, now you're bleeding

Fuck the succeeding

So demeaning working for a demon

Baby, you so greedy, uh-uh

Hi there, I'm your nightmare

I took your ego and I crushed it with my bare hands

Give me all you care about, my power is your doubt

And you ain't getting out (no, you ain't ever getting out)

I'm never good enough to qualify your love

I'm that old news, rip that old shit up

I don't need it now, I found my voice, it's loud

I'm gonna drown you out

D-D-D-Drown you out

Greedy, need feeding

Had too many pies, now you're bleeding

Fuck the succeeding

So demeaning, working for a demon

Why are you so greedy? Uh-uh

Greedy, need feeding

Had too many pies, now you're bleeding

Fuck the succeeding

So demeaning, working for a demon

Baby, you so greedy, uh-uh
