Chillin' Like a Villain
Mitchell Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you something you can really trust
Everybody's got a wicked side
I know you think that you can never be like us
Watch and learn so you can get it right

You need to drag your feet
You need to nod your head
You need to lean back
Slip through the cracks
You need to not care
Uh, you need to not stare
You need a whole lot of help
(You need to not be yourself)

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like (hey) a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (hey)
Chillin' like-, chillin' like- (hey), villain

Your attention when you act like that
Let us teach you how to disappear
You look like you would lose a fight to an alley cat
You gotta be wrong to get it right 'round here

You need to watch your back
You need to creep around
You need to slide real smooth
Don't make a sound
And if you want it, take it
And if you can't take it, break it
If you care about your health
(Seriously, you need to not be yourself)

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' (hey) like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a-

I really wanna be bad a lot
And I'm giving it my best shot
But it's hard being what I'm not
Well, if you don't, you're gonna get us caught
He's right, we gotta stay low-key
Now show us how bad you can be
Like this? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like this? (Yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah, I think I got this
Let's go, I'm ready to rock this
And I ain't gonna thank you for your help
I think I found the words to myself

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You'll be chillin', chillin', oh
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' (hey) like a villain (chillin')
Chillin' like a villain (chillin')




Chillin' like a villain (chillin') (hey)
Chillin' like a villain
