Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go by M-I-N-E-O
But it really don't matter
Bury me with no tombstone
I want you to know my Daddy
We don't seek Him, He come after
We don't reach Him, He the ladder
If you die and you don't know Him
This one for my misfits
Ah, what I'm saying is we ain't being statistics
Naw, what I mean is the things you want me to get with
God is already ticked with
This is sin, case you missed it
She might be fine like tickets
Don't love Jesus, we can't kick it
'Cause I been there, wish I didn't
Had to delete all them digits
They say, "Jesus why you sit with, the sinners and the wicked?"
He looking for the sick because the well don't need physicians!
No we never fit in cause they look at how we livin'
it's evident that we giving every minute for the King
Even though we trip we think about our provision
and we get a couple sinners when we rest upon His name
Yeah
And this is how it all happened
Adam fell, now it's all bad, Michael Jackson.
(Born sinner, b-b-b-born sinner)
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Was a bad boy but my name ain't Diddy though
Way I rock my beard they probably think I was from Philly though
STL my home, you peep that bird on my fitted though
Go on ahead and cut me up
I don't think they can hear me though
Bang that bass, drop that thing
Go on ahead and let it flow
Raspy voice from the South
But my name ain't Mystikal
Used to run up on them boys
They look like what that pistol for
When Mike was rocking Billie Jean
I was a Smooth Criminal
(Let's go)
I'm talking bad, Mike Jackson Thriller
I'm talking bad, jacket and zippers
You looking mad, like boy you tripping
But I'm talking past, I've been forgiven
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat WIC cheese for dinner
Daddy was gone, momma was gone
Had no choice, I toted chrome
Now I go and I preach the truth
Same blocks I hustled on
That's bad
(Born sinner, b-b-b-born sinner)
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Born sinner
You know how the line goes
Sardines with the wrath of God
This is mind blown
That's a big deal
Rebel against the God, Who stretched the heavens
With His own fingers like an iPhone
Now what a relief, it should've been me
But He didn't see it the same
He took up the cross to give me His life
The Truth created a way
He could've just thrown me away
Instead He would offer His grace
Somethin' I didn't deserve
So I'm living for Him in the flesh
And to die is my gain
Let-let-let me say that, say that again
He lived, He died, He rose to give me a raise
Christ crucified, yeah it happened
Now it ain't bad, all bad, Michael Jackson
(Born sinner, b-b-b-born sinner)
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
I was headed to death at the least
Fading with every breath 'til He beheaded the beast
A victim, of my own, poison
Impersonating a throne
Persuaded two-toned hearse waitin'
An easy target for worst aiming
Fragrant for birth a walking curse verbatim
I was on that Kurt Cobain
But ain't the same this is that crowd flowa with no vain
Catch me riding in a clutch
Grim Reaper on my back
But I never been much of a deep sleeper
So excuse me for being eager to give them the truth
Instead of feedin' the streets ether
(Born sinner, b-b-b-born sinner)
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Spoken:
It's your boy, Bubba Watson

Ex-hustler!
Michael Jackson, I'm bad!
I don't know, I forgot.
In "Michael Jackson," Andy Mineo and his collaborators Thisl, Rich Perez, R-Swift, and Bubba Watson take on the theme of temptation and sin, weaving in references to Michael Jackson's "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" to drive home the point. The verses each tackle different aspects of the struggle, and the chorus reinforces that, as born sinners, we have no hope without the redeeming work of Jesus.
Andy's verse starts with him introducing himself but immediately shifts to talk about his desire to be buried without a tombstone so that only his relationship with God matters. He then highlights the fact that while we may not seek God, He still comes after us and seeks us out. The chorus comes in after Andy's verse with the repetition of "born sinner" and "bad" to emphasize the point that without Jesus, our true selves shine through as flawed and sinful. Rich Perez follows with a verse about resisting the temptation to rebel against God and instead bask in His grace. R-Swift tackles his past sins but points to his journey to faith as evidence that Christ truly transforms. Thisl raps about the consequences of sinful actions, specifically relating it to drug addiction. Bubba Watson ends the song by asserting his identity as an ex-hustler and proclaiming his faith in Jesus.

I go by M-I-N-E-O
This is my stage name
But it really don't matter
My real identity isn't important
Bury me with no tombstone
I don't need a grave marker
I want you to know my Daddy
I want you to know my heavenly father
We don't seek Him, He come after
God pursues us, we don't need to chase Him
We don't reach Him, He the ladder
God provides the way for us to reach Him
If you die and you don't know Him
It's a weak end if you don't know God by your deathbed
This one for my misfits
This song is for those who don't fit in
Ah, what I'm saying is we ain't being statistics
We don't want to be statistics of failure
Naw, what I mean is the things you want me to get with
I don't want to follow what society expects of me
God is already ticked with
God is already angry about our sin
This is sin, case you missed it
This is sin, in case you didn't realize
Don't love Jesus, we can't kick it
We can't be friends if you don't love Jesus
He looking for the sick because the well don't need physicians!
Jesus seeks those who need healing, not those who are already healthy
No we never fit in cause they look at how we livin'
We don't fit in because people judge us based on how we live
it's evident that we giving every minute for the King
We're dedicated to serving God with our time
Even though we trip we think about our provision
Even if we struggle, we trust that God provides for us
and we get a couple sinners when we rest upon His name
We bring others to God when we rely on Him
And this is how it all happened
This is how original sin came to be
Adam fell, now it's all bad, Michael Jackson.
Adam's sin made everything bad in the world, like Michael Jackson's scandals
Was a bad boy but my name ain't Diddy though
I might have been rebellious, but I'm not like Diddy
Way I rock my beard they probably think I was from Philly though
People might think I'm from Philadelphia because of my beard style
STL my home, you peep that bird on my fitted though
St. Louis is my hometown, see the bird on my cap?
Go on ahead and cut me up
Go ahead and criticize me
I don't think they can hear me though
I don't think they're really listening
Bang that bass, drop that thing
Turn up the music and dance
But my name ain't Mystikal
I might have a raspy voice, but I'm not like Mystikal
He lived, He died, He rose to give me a raise
Jesus lived, died, and rose again to give us eternal life
I was headed to death at the least
I was on the path to death
Fading with every breath 'til He beheaded the beast
I was dying until Jesus saved me
Grim Reaper on my back
Death was always on my mind
But I never been much of a deep sleeper
I always stayed alert
So excuse me for being eager to give them the truth
I'm eager to share the gospel
It's your boy, Bubba Watson
This is Bubba Watson, signing off
Golf boys
