Lyrics and translation

Original

You make me sick. Watching, but watching no one in particular.

Treat those around you like shit 'cause of fame. Everyone knows you got skin in the game.

But do they know deep down, you are the same crowd that feed ya?

From the outside think they're beneath you.

Wish they could see ya, center, pretender.

Yeah, you wanna flash what you have, what you wear.

I pull out the bands so the girls gonna stare. Breaking necks, yeah, I'm breaking the bank.

Big ego, bigger pretender.

Whatever happened to living your life?

You lost your path for the stars in your eyes. You want status, you're paying the price. Big ego, bigger pretender.

Big ego, bigger pretender.

Big ego, pretender.

Whatever happened to living your life?

You lost your path for the stars in your eyes. You want status, you're paying the price.

You, you, you make me laugh.

Throwing your head when they're kissing your ass, uh-huh. I'm so surprised you can fit through the door.

Know your mama treat you like you're a king boy. But do they know deep down. . .

Wait, I ain't finished the verse. Oh, you didn't think it would get personal?

Oh, you didn't know I knew your skeleton? Oh.

I'ma leave you praying to a new demon.

You're the type to compromise your faith in New Zealand. You're the type to only appreciate the new season.

Thinking DJ mean disc Jesus. Deep down, you ain't got the peanuts.

From the outside think they're beneath you. Wish they could see ya, center, pretender.

You wanna flash what you have, what you wear.

I pull out the bands so the girls gonna stare. Breaking necks, yeah, I'm breaking the bank.

Big ego, bigger pretender.

Whatever happened to living your life?

You lost your path for the stars in your eyes. You want status, you're paying the price.

Big ego, pretender.

Big ego, bigger pretender. Pretender. Big ego, bigger pretender.
