[Verse 1]
SnEmeaky, greedy, money seeking
AAlways peeping, fucking creeping
DGot it on the down low
GSo you think you always squeaky
EmWhat if I had told your mAother
Her sDon was a cruel motherfGucker? Ah
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not Emjust me, it's everybody who Athinks that you're fucking ugly
WhDen you come and hurt us Gjust so you can get your money
FEmirst to follow the leAader wDas being possessed by deGmons
[Chorus]
I've trEmied to make you listen, but you wAon't, it's your way, right?
KiDlling kids all day and night, prescrGiption pills and online fights
ShEmooting at the angels while claiAming you're the good guy
DAll you want is cash and hype
FGuck our dreams and that's not right
[Post-Chorus]
The prEmincipalA  
Oh, where's the prDinciple?
Oh, where's the prGinciple?
Oh, where's the prEminciple?A  
Oh, where's the prDinciple?
Oh, where's the prGinciple?
[Verse 2]
EmComplicated, overrated
AYou're fixated, and elated
DBy the separation Gin this place that you've created
EmFuck all of your rules and guiAdelines
You shoDuldn't even be on the siGdelines
[Pre-Chorus]
EmCan't you see that we're all hAurtin'?
If you're not teaching, we're not lDearnin'
Excuse me, how much are you eGarnin'?
[Chorus]
I've trEmied to make you listen, but you wonA't, it's your way, right?
DKilling kids all day and night, prescGription pills and online fights
ShEmooting at the angels while clAaiming you're the good guy
DAll you want is cash and hype
FuGck our dreams and that's not right
[Post-Chorus]
The prEmincipalA  
Oh, where's the prDinciple?
Oh, where's the prGinciple?
Oh, where's the prEminciple?A  
Oh, where's the prDinciple?
Oh, where's the prGinciple?
[Bridge]
YEmou don't know the pain that yAou are causing
Yeah, your aDctions hurt, so do your wGords
The mEmore you try to fuck us oAver
We will be there yDelling at your front dGoor
[Outro]
