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:
Bm7C#m7
Well they say the sky's the limit,
Bm7C#m7
And to me that's really true.
Bm7C#m7
But my friend you have seen nothin',
E7#9
Just wait 'til I get through...
Chorus 1:
Am7D9
Because I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7D9
You know I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7D9
Because I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7D9
(Really, really bad).
Am7
And the whole world,
D9
Has to answer right now,
Am7D9
Just to tell you once a-gain;
(n.c)
Who's bad.

Verse 3:
Am7D9
The word is out,
Am7D9
You're doin' wrong,
Am7D9
Gonna lock you up,

Be-fore too long.

Your lyin' eyes,
Am7D9
Gonna tell you right.
Verse 4:
Am7D9
So listen up,
Am7D9
Don't make a fight,
Am7D9
Your talk is cheap,

You're not a man.
Am7D9
You're throwin' stones,
Am7D9
To hide your hands.
