Why does “greedy” got a bad rep?

V5

[Verse 1] Greedy got a bad rep Passed around like cheap gum Stuck to everybody’s tongue But who started that thread? Was it me in the backseat Calling you “too much” again Was it you in the kitchen Rolling eyes to your friends? [Chorus] Why does “greedy” got a bad rep? Was it me or you Who gave it a bad review? Holding out my empty hands Like that makes me safe Maybe it’s time I gave it a bad name (yeah, I want it) Maybe it’s time I gave it a bad name [Verse 2] You say “leave some for later” I say “what if this is it?” You call that selfish behavior I call it finally admitting I want the last bite Last laugh Front row Your full attention Is it really that dark To want all your affection? [Chorus] Why does “greedy” got a bad rep? Was it me or you Who gave it a bad review? Holding out my empty hands Like that makes me safe Maybe it’s time I gave it a bad name (yeah, I want it) Maybe it’s time I gave it a bad name [Bridge] What if craving is just courage What if “too much” is just true If I’m reaching past the limit I’m just reaching out for you (for you) [Chorus] Why does “greedy” got a bad rep? Was it me or you Who gave it a bad review? If wanting you is all wrong I’ll still take the blame Yeah From tonight I’ll wear it like my stage name (so greedy) From tonight I’ll give it a bad name
