The Lyrics


She’s into screwing victims
and making quite a haul.
I hope that folks are list’nin’
’bout this girl who’d take it all.

She’s into violations
of victims’ ownership rights.
You might find your things missin’,
your accounts kinda light.

She wants to take your dough off,
leaving you in fiscal pain.
She’ll take you and won’t need a knife,
but she is still gonna gain.
As a bullshitter she’s trained.
A con.

A financial rout—
she’s griftin’ la vida ’drona.
Take care—she’ll take you down
griftin’…la vida ’drona.*
She’ll get into your head
till you’re feeling like a stoner…
how she fakes you out,
griftin’…la vida ’drona.
You’re conned.
Griftin’…la vida ’drona.

Her goal is to be shifty.
She succeeds, things don’t go well.
She gets a start and then takes your money.
But she doesn’t bear any ill will.

She might act like a daughter, then
promises you what’s sham gain.
Really though, she’s a faker,
great at fooling your brain
with lexical lidocaine.
Bucks gone.

It’s a fiscal rout—
she’s griftin’ la vida ’drona.
Beware or you’ll go down…
griftin’…la vida ’drona.
She’ll get into your head
till you pull a bounty boner.
She’s great a faking out—
griftin’…la vida ’drona.
You’re conned.
Griftin’…la vida ’drona.

She wants to take your dough off
and then hop onto a plane
She’ll leave you in a world of strife
exacerbated by pain.
As a bullshitter she’s trained.
A con.

That’s what it’s about:
She’s griftin’ la vida ’drona.
She’ll tear your accounts down
griftin’…la vida ’drona.
Then she will have fled.
leaving you a moaning groaner.
From here she will fly out;
Switzerland’s her new home, yeah.
She’s gone
Griftin’…now your wealth's owner.
