Lyrics

BAD

[Verse 1: Drapht]

See, I never really had that type of that father figure when I was a kid

Tellin' me I could be bigger than BIG, bigger than Iggy, bigger than KISS

See I never needed a next of kin, no need for a Kim

No need for a Kanye's girl, no stars on my side, no ninja's belt

Hell, I ain't no man no more, move the animals: Noah's Ark

Rembrandt type of art but mixed with a little bit of Genghis Khan

'Cause I'm mad (mad, mad), they're like "Damn, that kid's dope"

Smoke don't stop the flow like Willy Nelson up on that banjo

Young John McEnroe cause I'm mad, but never out of line

'Cause I'm—I'm bad with my stance like a Chinese man in front of that tank

I'm back, back from the dead but I'm pure consciousness

I feel more alive than I have in years, I'm feeling kind of bad

[Hook: Nat Dunn (Drapht)]

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) Bad, bad, bad

Feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

[Verse 2: Drapht]

See I'm feeling like R. Kelly, I'm pissed at these kids

I'm fucking dirty if they thinking that they bigger than this

Hey yo, how are they thinkin' they bigger than us, they lost

We walk around knocking down doors for a little bit of change like Red Cross

Won't stop, I'm bad to the bone, I come from a long line

Of blood that's bad to the bone like frostbite, will not be confined

A little Nina Simone, mixed with a little bit of Thich Nhat Hahn

Hit home runs, we all bout love, what my people want

They want the truth

[Pre-Hook: Nat Dunn]

Truth, we don't comprehend what them saying

Go and wave that flag

I'll be the last damn one to cave in

I might be wrong but it just feels right

Is making my heart race how I like

You want the truth, I refuse to let them escape me

[Hook: Nat Dunn (Drapht)]

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) Bad, bad, bad

Feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

[Bridge: Drapht]

Yo, I got something on my mind, can I tell you what to do girl

Ain't no lullaby got you dancing on the moon

Ain't no come down, keep it up

I'm saying ain't no come down, keep it up hey

Yo, I got something on my mind, can I tell you what to do girl

Ain't no lullaby got you dancing on the moon

Ain't no come down, there ain't no come down

There ain't no come down, keep it up hey

[Hook: Nat Dunn (Drapht)]

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) Bad, bad, bad

Feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

(I'm feeling bad) I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

[Outro: Drapht & Nat Dunn]

The darker the night, the brighter we glow, 60's psychedelic

Sacrifice to that moon and you can't fight the fact

That we back to back like high noon, it's no joke, man we kill

Man, we fight to do what we do when we move

You know we feelin' bad, bad, bad, bad

Feeling kind of bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

Feeling kind of bad, feeling kind of bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad

Bad, bad, bad

I'm feeling kind of bad, bad, bad
