Menace
Mazie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a menace everything I want, yeah
You I know I'm gonna get it
Whether it's your fame or
Your cable knit sweater
You might've done it first
But I know I do it better yeah, I said it

I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it

I'm not the guy to look up to (Okay)
I'm cuttin' lines just to cut loose
(Woo, woo, woo)
Now I'm seeing God in the bathroom
She thinks I'm cool
But she gave me some bad news
I'm gonna change the world in the worst way
Greta Thunberg in a Hummer on a highway
Ooh, bummer that she'll never see it my way
(Never) you and I are not the same

I'm a menace everything I want, yeah
You I know I'm gonna get it
Whether it's your fame or
Your cable knit sweater
You might've done it first
But I know I do it better yeah, I said it

I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it
I'm a menace, don't forget it

I eat billionaires for breakfast
Diamonds on my necklace
I only go to parties 'cause they
Love to watch me exit (I'm a, a, a)
Mattress ambidextrous
Sex tape on your Netflix (Woo)
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm
A, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a

I'm a menace, don't forget it (Oh, hey)




I'm a menace, don't forget it (I'm a)
I'm a menace

Overall Meaning

In the song "Menace" by Mazie, the lyrics depict a character who sees himself as a threat and is determined to have everything he desires, whether it's fame, material possessions, or even someone else's accomplishments. The opening lines "I'm a menace everything I want, yeah / You I know I'm gonna get it" highlight this mindset. The singer believes that he will obtain whatever he desires, without considering the consequences or the impact it may have on others.


The lyrics continue to emphasize the singer's arrogance and superiority complex with lines such as "You might've done it first / But I know I do it better yeah, I said it." This indicates that he believes he excels in whatever he pursues, suggesting a lack of humility and an inflated sense of self-worth.


The song takes a darker turn in the next verse as the singer admits to engaging in risky behavior, cutting lines and seeking thrills. The mention of seeing God in the bathroom suggests a disregard for conventional morality and a willingness to indulge in hedonistic pursuits. Additionally, the comparison to Greta Thunberg in a Hummer on a highway suggests a deliberate defiance of societal expectations, as Thunberg is known for her activism against climate change. It reflects the singer's desire to rebel and make his mark on the world, even if it means doing so in morally questionable ways.


In the final verse, the lyrics portray the singer as someone who influences and manipulates others for his own gain. Phrases such as "I eat billionaires for breakfast / Diamonds on my necklace" and "Sex tape on your Netflix" illustrate his extravagance and indulgence in scandalous behavior. The mention of going to parties only for the attention he receives upon leaving further emphasizes his desire to be seen as someone who stands out and controls the narrative.


Overall, "Menace" portrays a character who sees himself as a force to be reckoned with, displaying arrogance, a disregard for consequences, and a willingness to break societal norms. The lyrics point to the singer's desire for power, control, and attention, even if it means engaging in destructive or morally questionable actions.
