Bad Boys
♫ Inner Circle Lyrics

Bad boys
Addressing those who have behaved in a delinquent manner

Whatcha want, watcha want
Asking the delinquents' intentions

Whatcha gonna do
Asking how they will react

When sheriff John Brown come for you
When the authority comes for them

Tell me
Asking for a response

Whatcha wanna do, whatcha gonna dooo
Continuing to ask for a reaction and plan of action

Yeaheah
Exclamatory sound of agreement or encouragement

When you were eight
Referring to a time when the listener was younger

And you had bad traits
When the listener exhibited negative behavior

You go to school
The educational setting

And learn the golden rule
Taught the principle of treating others how they want to be treated

So why are you
Asking why the listener is behaving poorly

Acting like a bloody fool
Behaving in a way that is stupid and unwise

If you get hot
If you get angry

You must get cool
You must stay calm

You chuck it on that one
Blaming others for their mistakes

You chuck it on this one
Transferring responsibility to someone else

You chuck it on your mother and
Putting the blame on your mother

You chuck it on your father
Putting the blame on your father

You chuck it on your brother and
Putting the blame on your brother

You chuck it on your sister
Putting the blame on your sister

You chuck it on that one and
Putting the blame on someone else

You chuck it on me
Putting the blame on the singer

Nobody naw give you no break
No one will give you a break

Police naw give you no break
Police will not give you a break

Soldier naw give you no break
Soldiers will not give you a break

Not even you idren naw give you no break
Even your friends will not give you a break

Hehe
An expression of amusement, which could also indicate sarcasm at this point in the song

Why did you have to act so mean
Questioning the listener's decision to behave negatively

Don't you know you're human being
Reminding the listener that they are human and capable of making mistakes

Born of a mother with the love of a father
Acknowledging that everyone has a mother and father who cared for them

Reflections come and reflections go
Thoughts and insights change over time

I know sometimes you want to let go
Understanding that sometimes people want to give up

You're too bad, you're too rude
Reiterating that the listener is behaving poorly
