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 [Bm7]say the sky's the [C#m7]limit,
And to [Bm7]me that's really [C#m7]true.
But my [Bm7]friend you have seen [C#m7]nothin',
Just [E7#9]wait 'til I get through...

Chorus 1:

Because I'm [Am7]bad, I'm [D9]bad,
[Am7] (Really, really [D9]bad).
You know I'm [Am7]bad, I'm [D9]bad,
[Am7] (Really, really [D9]bad).

Because I'm [Am7]bad, I'm [D9]bad,
[Am7] (Really, really [D9]bad).

And the [Am7]whole world,
Has to [D9]answer right now,
Just to [Am7]tell you once a-[D9]gain;
(n.c)
Who's bad.

Verse 3:

The [Am7]word is [D9]out,
You're [Am7]doin' [D9]wrong,
Gonna [Am7]lock you [D9]up,
Be-[Am7]fore too [D9]long.
Your [Am7]lyin' [D9]eyes,
Gonna [Am7]tell you [D9]right.

Verse 4:

So [Am7]listen [D9]up,
Don't [Am7]make a [D9]fight,
Your [Am7]talk is [D9]cheap,
You're [Am7]not a [D9]man.
You're [Am7]throwin' [D9]stones,
To [Am7]hide your [D9]hands.

Bridge 2:

Well they [Bm7]say the sky's the [C#m7]limit,
And to [Bm7]me that's really [C#m7]true.

Bridge 3:

We can [Bm7]change the world to-[C#m7]morrow,
This could [Bm7]be a better [C#m7]place.
If you [Bm7]don't like what I'm [C#m7]sayin';
Then [E7#9]won't you slap my face?

Chorus 3:

Because I'm [Am7]bad, I'm [D9]bad,
[Am7] (Really, really [D9]bad).
You know I'm [Am7]bad, I'm [D9]bad,
[Am7] (Really, really [D9]bad).
