I know, my cousin stanaman, he's told me a couple stories about you

I'm not gonna lie-I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting mad right now, what's he talking about?

Like banging in cells and that, what you talking about?

Come on, man, this is just lyrics, blud

Ghetto, this is just lyrics, blud, all about lyrics

Blud, all about lyrics, I know, ghetto, I know, come on

Easy, easy, aight, easy, easy

Talking that talk, I was a fucking bad boy in jail!

A fucking bad boy, you fucking pussy

Is man mad though?

Ask stanaman, I was a fucking bad boy

Is man mad though?

Ahh, man, man, do your research

Oi, where's carlos, where's carlos?

Ask him how man was in jail about

Fucking truth, stick to the truth

Stick to the fucking truth

Yo, yo, them man are selective bad boys

Some we-just-wanna-be-accepted bad boys

Some big whips but no electric bad boys

Think they're bad 'cause of narcos, they're some netflix bad boys

I know real shower man, you know reckless bad boys

You know them protein shake in their breakfast bad boys

Them man are some bro-could-you-get-me-on-the-guest-list? Bad boys

And then they wanna get up in the club and start flexing bad boys

Give me the crown, man, I want that

Red bull with the cognac

I tried to share my throne with 'em

But I can see you ain't on that

I'm on arms, on combat

No trace, no contact

Bro bought a new mash

I don't know what that gun there's called but it's long, akh

Bad boy who?

You are not part of a bad boy crew

Me and flipz roll up, tell a boy, hold up

Looking like something off of bad boys 2

Bad boy gs in a bad boy shoot (shoot)

You are not a bad boy, move

Shut down shows and the mandem go nuts

All the bad chicks make mad noise too

Look, fuckboy, what you gonna say? What you gonna do, run?

Ah, yeah right, you ain't gonna do none

Bad boy life ain't all that you hoped for

Should've done book but you wanna do gun

Charge three for a z, that's banter

Black whip, all black swag like a panther

Heard through the vine that stormz' ain't a bad boy

But I take care of my fam, I'm a gangster

Yeah, that's right, just a young boy in the hood

Fast forward, now I'm big mike

Still away from the hype, niggas weren't bad back then

Nah, it's cons, man, I swear on my life

Put faith in my knife, wrong move had me on edge

On the back-road, paying for my stripes

So fuck these niggas, all these likkle gun drillers

Wanna come and try do me like trife

You're not bad, I'm bad, ask carlos

How they gonna harm us?

Came wearing a flat-cap looking like somebody's father

I brought the bad man here, I brought the bad man here

You're a bad man how? Bad man where?

Apart from you, there's bad man here

You're not bad, I'm bad, ask carlos

How they gonna harm us?

Came wearing a flat-cap looking like somebody's father

I brought the bad man here, I brought the bad man here

You're a bad man how? Bad man where?

Apart from you, there's bad man here

Yeah, I'm fully on what you're half on (facts)

I've done dirt, no mask on (facts)

Eighteen when I told man "ask carlos" (facts)

Now they ask how much man's car cost (facts)

Drive-by ting

Aim for your head and convertible your hard-top (buck-I)

Your legs shake, your heart stops

That's an m case, nah, darg

Not me, not there, not g

I put bread on my beef like soljah

You've got rice, I've got peas

I told you already, my nigga I don't know you from any–

Where, big spear that'll go through your belly

There, payback but you don't owe me a penny, yeah

Fuck that, fist fight, fair and square

Nah, fuck that, flick-knife, rer and ter

Nah, fuck that, this guy's wearing his share

Might come back, midnight, airin' a flare

Deal with the matter like skibba

How's he gonna feel when I'm shattering his liver?

Bloodbath will fling a man up in a river

Fourteen, holding my shank in the mirror

Like I dare anyone (I dare anyone)

Playground looking like a lunn poly advert

Where's everyone? (where's everyone?)

I ain't scared of you but I'm scared of your gun (I am)

Frightening

That's when I got my ting

It was all calm before stormzy

Now it's lightning

You're not bad, I'm bad, ask carlos

How they gonna harm us?

Came wearing a flat-cap looking like somebody's father

I brought the bad man here, I brought the bad man here

You're a bad man how? Bad man where?

Apart from you, there's bad man here

You're not bad, I'm bad, ask carlos

How they gonna harm us?

Came wearing a flat-cap looking like somebody's father

I brought the bad man here, I brought the bad man here

You're a bad man how? Bad man where?

Apart from you, there's bad man here
