[English]

On the low

Only love myself no more

Take you to the grave I'll ghost

I know I can be so cold

In the dark Where I like to keep my heart

Know I’m all bite no bark

Like to catch you way off guard

I’ll stay so deep inside your brain

And take you somewhere far away

Time to roll the dice You know I’m the type

Type to risk my life Not afraid to die

Type to make you cry Type to put a price

All up on your head Do just what I said

Imma straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

Straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

I’m alive But I’m dead

Hear my voice up in your head

Watch it fill you full of dread Till you go pow

Is it really a surprise If I’m playing with your mind

And I treat you like prize Then I throw you to the side

And am I really that bad If l love to make you mad

And get happy when your sad Only care about a bag

In control

That's how I like it And I'm never letting go, nah

Never had a soul

So you ain't taking anything from me When you go, nah

I’ll stay so deep inside your brain

And take you somewhere far away

Time to roll the dice You know I’m the type

Type to risk my life Not afraid to die

Type to make you cry Type to put a price

All up on your head Do just what I said

Imma straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

Straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

I’m alive But I’m dead

Hear my voice up in your head Watch it fill you full of dread

Till you go pow

Bang bang You can do anything

No fear no pain

Listen to your brain go

Go stupid go dumb go stupid and

Then we go insane woah

Just do what I say Follow me I'll lead the way

Time to roll the dice You know I’m the type

Type to risk my life Not afraid to die

Type to make you cry Type to put a price

All up on your head Do just what I said

Imma straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

Straight up villain Straight up villain

Yeah no feeling Yeah no feeling

I’m alive But I’m dead

Hear my voice up in your head

Watch it fill you full of dread

Till you go
