VILLAIN
K/DA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

I'm a 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
'Til 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 you're 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 (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

I'm a straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling (yeah, yeah)
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
'Til 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, whoa
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

I'm a straight up villain, straight up villain
Yeah, no feeling, yeah, no feeling
Straight up villain, straight up villain (yeah)
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
'Til you go pow

On the low
Keeping to myself and not letting anyone in


Only love myself no more
No longer caring for anyone else but myself


Take you to the grave I'll ghost
I will leave you behind and disappear without explanation

In the dark
Preferring to keep my emotions hidden and not let others see them


Where I like to keep my heart
Hiding my emotions and vulnerabilities from others


Know I'm all bite, no bark
I am aggressive and intimidating without actually following through with any action


Like to catch you way off guard
Enjoy surprising and confusing others


I'll stay so deep inside your brain
I will manipulate and control you mentally


And take you somewhere far away
Making you lose touch with reality and become dependent on me

Taking risks and not shying away from danger


You know I'm the type

I'ma straight up villain
I embrace my evil nature and wear it as a badge of honor


Yeah no feeling
I am emotionless and do not care for anyone or anything


I'm alive but I'm dead
Physically alive but emotionally dead


Hear my voice up in your head
Controlling and manipulating others even when not present


Watch it fill you full of dread
Causing fear and anxiety in others


Till you go pow
Until they are completely destroyed


Is it really a surprise
Should it be unexpected that I am playing games with your mind?


If I'm playing with your mind
I enjoy toying with and manipulating others


And I treat you like prize
I see others as objects to be used for my own benefit


Then I throw you to the side
I discard and forget about others once they are no longer useful to me


And am I really that bad
Questioning whether my actions are truly evil or just a necessary part of survival


If I love to make you mad
Deriving pleasure from causing others emotional distress


And get happy when your sad
Feeling satisfaction when others are miserable


Only care about a bag
Only interested in obtaining wealth and material possessions


In control
Enjoying the power and control I have over others


That's how I like it
Preferring to be in charge and make all the decisions


And I'm never letting go, nah
Refusing to relinquish my power and control over others


Never had a soul
Emotionally dead inside, lacking empathy and compassion


So you ain't taking anything from me
Others cannot take away my power and control over myself and my actions


Bang bang
I am a force to be reckoned with


You can do anything
Encouraging others to take risks and be bold like me


No fear, no pain
Unfazed by the consequences of their actions


Listen to your brain go
Listen to my voice and follow my commands


Go stupid, go dumb, go stupid and
Act recklessly and without thinking about the consequences


Then we go insane whoa
Losing touch with reality and being consumed by our actions


Just do what I say
Expected obedience and loyalty to me


Follow me I'll lead the way
I am the one in control and know what is best for everyone


I'ma straight up villain
Embracing my evil nature and actions


Yeah no feeling
Being completely emotionless and uncaring


I'm alive but I'm dead
Physically alive but mentally dead inside


Hear my voice up in your head
Controlling and manipulating others even when not present


Watch it fill you full of dread
Causing fear and anxiety in others


Till you go pow
Until they are completely destroyed
