Alpha
Little Destroyer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling scorned
Fires from Hell
You say you're god man
So what, I'm the devil herself

Alpha playing beta not to upset your ego
Kept inside a cage because the power too real
Tried to tell me that I'm nothing and to know my worth
Well big bad daddy I'm wolf yea

So pleased to meet you
Now you know my name
Mother destroyer ya one and the same
Mr preacher time to give up the throne
I'm master now, damn it's good to be home
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha

I'm feeling bored
Inside this shell
Tear down the facade man
Guess what, I'm the devil herself

Iconic like Madonna, Gwen Grace and Gaga
Kill like Iggy Rollins Mick I hit like a hammer
Screaming up to heaven with your girl and my whip
About to overthrow the dic-dic-dic-dic-dictatorship

So pleased to meet you
Now you know my name
Mother destroyer ya one and the same
Mr preacher time to give up the throne
I'm master now, damn it's good to be home
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha

Will you bite the hand that feeds and
Will you stay down on your knees and
Now you know my name for real ya
Now you know me, now you know

So pleased to meet you
Now you know my name
Mother destroyer ya one and the same
Mr preacher time to give up the throne
I'm master now, damn it's good to be home
Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha




Just call me alpha
Just call me alpha
