Bad

Your butt is mine, gonna tell you right.
Just show your face in broad daylight.
I´m telling you on how I feel.
Gonna hurt your mind don't shoot to kill.
Come on come on lay it on me. All right...
I'm giving you on count of three
to show your stuff or let it be.
I'm telling you just watch your mouth.
I know your game what you´re about.
Well they say the sky's the limit
and to me that's really true.
But my friend you have seen nothin'
just wait 'til I get through...
Because I`m bad I'm bad come on.
You know I'm bad I'm bad you know it.
You know I'm bad I'm bad come on you know.
And the whole world has to answer right now
just to tell you once agam.
who's bad...
The word is out you're doin' wrong.
Gonna lock you up before too long.
Your lyin' eyes gonna tell you right.
So listen up don't make a fight.
Your talk is cheap you're not a man.
You're throwin' stones to hide your hands.
But they say the sky's the limit
and to me that's really true.
And my friends you have seen nothin'
just wait 'til I get through...
Because I'm bad I'm bad come on.
You know I'm bad I'm bad you know it.
You know I'm bad I'm bad come on you know.
And the whole world has to answer right now
just to tell you once again.
Who's bad...
We can change the world tomorrow
this could be a better place.
If you don't like what I`m sayin' then won't you slap my
face...
Because I'm bad I'm bad come on.
You know I'm bad I'm bad

You know I'm bad I'm bad you know it you know.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
You know I'm bad I'm bad come on.
You know I'm bad I'm bad
