Ba-ba-ba I am bad

I'm ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad

I'm ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad

I'm ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad

I am so bad, they call me the terrorist, theres many haters that are calling (X)

You wanna take a risk, find me and Ill tie your wist, you wanna get me pissed you will end up on my wishlist.

I try, I try, I try to be good yeah I try I try, I try, I try to be good yeah I try

I'm ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad (X 6)

Shi-bi-dibi-dii di-bi-di-bi-dii-dii, who is in the tree? He trying to shoot me

Shi-bi-dibi-dii di-bi-di-bi-dii-dii, who is in the sea? He trying to shoot me

Like somalian yeah I’m in the sea, I get all of your guns before you get me.

Go to the army trying to find me, but that ain’t going to happen cause you can’t track me.

I’m bad, I’m better, I’m even more fed up, not afraid to lose in my bootleg sweater

You can call the government and call me a terror but I say your trick is to get more cheddar.

I’m ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad(X4)

I try, I try, I try to be good yeah I try (X 4)

You're fucked and corrupt and you know I'm just bad

You say give peace a chance, I say piece a C4 chance

You punks play pranks cause your campaign works on grants

Thats why I make them bounce and hide out in the south of France

I’m ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba I am bad (X18)
