Verse 1:
(with Intro Riff):
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...
Verse 2:
(with Intro Riff):
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.
Bridge 1:
Bm7 C#m7
Well they say the sky's the limit,
Bm7 C#m7
And to me that's really true.
Bm7 C#m7
But my friend you have seen nothin',
E7#9
Just wait 'til I get through...
Chorus 1:
Am7 D9
Because I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7 D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7 D9
You know I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7 D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7 D9
Because I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7 D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7
And the whole world,
D9
Has to answer right now,
Am7 D9
Just to tell you once a-gain;
(n.c)
Who's bad.

Verse 3:
Am7 D9
The word is out,
Am7 D9
You're doin' wrong,
Am7 D9
Gonna lock you up,
Am7 D9
Be-fore too long.
Am7 D9
Your lyin' eyes,
Am7 D9
Gonna tell you right.
Verse 4:
Am7 D9
So listen up,
Am7 D9
Don't make a fight,
Am7 D9
Your talk is cheap,
Am7 D9
You're not a man.
Am7 D9
You're throwin' stones,
Am7 D9
To hide your hands.
