Bad Thing

[Intro: Joey Bada$$]

Yo, yo, yo, yo

Come fuck with a pro

Bad thing, bad thing

What you saying mama

[Verse 1: Kiesza]

Tougher than a leather goose

I wanna say your last name

You ain't playin' by the rules

But you gon’ change the whole game

I don’t wanna suit and shade that cool

While until the love again

Danger when you make me ooh

But I think that’s a good thing

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh

[Verse 2: Kiesza]

I don’t want to ever choose

Keep it jumpin' like a trampoline

No matter what you put me through

You always make it worth it

We go together me and you

Reebok's and a hoop chain

Enough to make me say I do

And I think that’s a good thing

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh

[Verse 3: Joey Bada$$]

But in conclusion, it's only time we losing

We get deluded by these illusions, constant confusions

And every movin', any time that we doin'

What could be a great duet

Gets neglected, feel my solar plexus tryna get you back babe

Tell me where it's at, where it's at, at, at

Gotta pack of that yack, yack, yack

That'll probably snap that back

Hit the cat till it's cataracts

But you like the sound of that

Now bring it back, we the perfect match to start a culture, might start it happen

Don't get too attached, cause I adapt to change quick see

My way of livin' fast, be on my switchin' lanes shit

You're sick of all that anguish, cause you know how that game get

If you ain't speaking that dollar bill, then you ain't speaking that language

I'm, dancin' with this little devil

I, condescend when usually I'm on a higher level

Sip a little Red Bull

Now we growing wings, she's the girl of my dreams

I could, give her my last name but that's a bad thing

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh

[Hook: Kiesza & Joey Bada$$]

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

Maybe that’s a bad thing, bad thing

I’mma fiend for that thing, that thing

Oooh
