Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick it up

Wanted some speakers, Xbox, and t-shirts
I've been good like every single day
Looked under my tree, my box was empty
Santa made an enemy that day (what the fuck?)
Done being jolly, time to be naughty
Think it's time we settle up the score
Fill up the wishlist, let's cause some mischief
Grab my keys, I'm heading out the door

I've been good for way too long
Gonna get the shit I want (ah, ah)

Never gave me a goddamn thing that I want
I was good every day but he didn't give a fuck
This year, put the top on the back of the truck
Santa's banging on the back of the truck
Never gave me a goddamn thing that I want
I was good every day but he didn't give a fuck
This year, put the top on the back of the truck
Santa's banging on the back of the truck

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

He's watching TV, he doesn't see me
Go and get the bag out of his sleigh
Elves in the kitchen heard the ignition
Think it's time we make our getaway
Chains on the tires, he's right behind us
Screaming 'cause we stole his magic bag (get back here)
Boots full of lead feet, gas in the Chevy
Hundred-fifty miles on the dash

I've been good for way too long
Gonna get the shit I want (ah, ah)

Never gave me a goddamn thing that I want
I was good every day but he didn't give a fuck
This year, put the top on the back of the truck
Santa's banging on the back of the truck
Never gave me a goddamn thing that I want
I was good every day but he didn't give a fuck
This year, put the top on the back of the truck
Santa's banging on the back of the truck

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Overall Meaning

The song "sympathy 4 the grinch" by American music duo 100 gecs is a modern take on the classic story of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The lyrics of the song describe the singer's disappointment at not receiving the gifts they wanted for Christmas despite being good all year. The singer decides to take matters into their own hands and decides to steal Santa's magic bag to get the items they want. Santa becomes their enemy, and the singer decides "to be naughty" and "settle up the score." The song ends with a description of the singer's getaway with Santa's bag, where they are being chased by Santa.


The song takes a cynical view of the holiday season's expectations and the materialism that often accompanies it. The singer's frustration at not getting what they wanted despite being "good every day" speaks to the disillusionment many people feel around Christmas time. The song also gives a nod to the Christmas classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" by describing the singer as having sympathy for the Grinch - a character known for stealing Christmas presents.


Overall, "sympathy 4 the grinch" is a commentary on the materialistic nature of the holiday season and the disappointment that often accompanies it, as well as a modern take on the classic story of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

It’s Christmas Eve, 2045

You’re laying in bed next to your e-girl wife. She takes off her choker, wipes off her glitter eyeshadow.

The clock strikes midnight

You turn to each other. You kiss. It’s gentle yet comforting.

You pull out of the kiss and smile.

“Merry Gecmas babe”

“Merry Gecmas”
