Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your butt is mine, gonna tell you right, ah
Just show your face in broad daylight, ah
I'm tellin' you on how I feel, ah
Gonna hurt your mind, don't shoot to kill
Come on, ah, come on
Lay it on me, ah, all right
[Verse 2]
Ah, I'm givin' you on count of three, ah
Just show your stuff or let it be, ah
I'm tellin' you, just watch your mouth, ah
I know your game, what you're about
[Verse 3]
Well, they say the sky's the limit
And to me, that's really true, ah
But my friend you have seen nothin'
Just wait till I get through!
[Verse 4]
Because I'm bad, I'm bad! Come on! (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, come on, you know (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
[Verse 5]
You know
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
[Verse 6]
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
Who's bad?
[Verse 7]
Come on, ah
Come on
Lay it on me
[Verse 8]
The word is out, you're doin' wrong, ah
Gonna lock you up before too long, ah
Your lyin' eyes gonna tell you right, ah, ah
So listen up, don't make a fight, ah, ah
Your talk is cheap, you're not a man, ah
You're throwin' stones to hide your hands
[Verse 9]
We can change the world tomorrow
This could be a better place, ah
If you don't like what I'm sayin'
Then won't you slap my face?
[Verse 10]
Because I'm bad, I'm bad! Come on! (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it, you know (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now (Hoo! Hoo!)
Just to tell you once again (Hoo!)
[Verse 11]
You know I'm bad, I'm bad! Come on!
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it, you know it
You know, you know!
You know, come on!
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you
You know I'm smooth, I'm bad, you know it!
You know I'm bad, I'm bad
You know, you know, you know it, come on
And the whole world has to answer right now (Hoo!)
Who's bad?
[Verse 12]
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it! (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, you know, woo! (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad
You know it, you know!
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
[Verse 13]
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
