Lyrics

[Chorus]

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

Uh, uh

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Uh, hey

[Verse 1]

I can't take it back, look where I'm at

We was O-G like D.O.C., remember that? (Remember that?)

My T-L-C was quite O-D, I-D my facts

Now P-O-V of you and me, similar Iraq

I don't hate you, but I hate to critique, overrate you

These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you

Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more

No, I don't fear no more, better yet, respect ain't quite sincere no more

[PreChorus]

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

[Chorus]

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

Uh

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Uh, hey

[Verse 2]

Remember when you tried to write me off?

Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?

Don't you remember? You thought that I would need ya

Follow procedure, remember? Oh, wait, you've got amnesia

It was my season for battle wounds

Battle scars, body bumped, bruised

Stabbed in the back, brimstone, fire jumping through

Still, all my life, I got money and power

And you gotta live with the bad blood now

[PreChorus]

Oh, it's so sad to

Think about the good times

You and I

[Chorus]

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

[Bridge]

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts

If you love like that, blood runs cold

[Chorus]

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em (Think we can solve 'em)

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood

[Chorus]

'Cause, now we've got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we've got bad blood

Now we've got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
