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:

                          
Well, they say the sky's the limit,
                     
And to me that's really true.
                         
But my friend you have seen nothin';
     E7#9
Just wait 'tiLl I get through...

Chorus 1:

                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                   
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                        
And the whole world has to answer, right now,
                        (n.)
Just to tell you once a-gain; who's bad.

Verse 3:

                      
The word is out; you're doin' wrong,
                       
Gonna lock you up, be-fore too long.
                        
Your lyin' eyes, gonna tell you right;
                   
So listen up; don't make a fight.

Verse 4:

                             
Your talk is cheap; you're not a man.
                             
You're throwin' stones, to hide your hands.

Bridge 2:

                         
Well they say the sky's the limit,
                     
And to me that's really true.
                         
But my friend you have seen nothin';
     E7#9
Just wait 'till I get through...

Chorus 2:

                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                   
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                        
And the whole world has to answer, right now,
                        (n.)
Just to tell you once a-gain; who's bad.

Bridge 3:

                        
We can change the world to-morrow,
                    
This could be a better place.
                        
If you don't like what I'm sayin';
     E7#9
Then won't you slap my face?

Chorus 3:

                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                   
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                        
And the whole world has to answer, right now,
                     
Just to tell you once a-gain;

Chorus 4:

                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                   
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                                  
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).
                        
And the whole world has to answer, right now,
                        (n.)
