DJ Boom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Fabolous]
Guess who (hey, hey)
F to the A-B (hey)
Black Buddafly Let's go
And I'm a bad boy Like Martin and Will Show
u what u been missin' Like the kids on the carton of milk
Hey, I can snatch something bad outta the hood
And bring 'em back to the pad out by the woods
You know the crew bring the bad outta the good
And I'm usually not layin' in the boozy spots
Girl, we can blow quicker than oozi shots
Chill where the Cristal's cold Jacuzzi's hot Ya feel me?

I ain't really the kinda girl That would
say that I'm a bad girl Though I should
So many times I did what I thought was right
But ended up in pain and that's why I'm like
I still believe and I'm hopin'
That I will find real love
But right now is not the time for that
Cause I'm young and I'm bad and I like that

Oh,
do you feel me now Oh,
dance with me now
Ladies help me out

[Chorus]
Ay if you feel me
Move wit me and don't stop
Put your hands up
Soon as the beat drops
Cause usually I'm not like this but tonight
I'm a bad girl
I'm a bad girl
And tonight we gonna show u How we get down

Don't think I'm innocent
Might look like that outside But when
I be alone wit you You'll see different
Cause all those boys dig those crazy things
I like it so good and so deep
Like I said for me straight to sleep
Don't get me wrong because I'm not a ho
I tell where to stop and when to go

Oh
do you feel me now Oh,
dance with me now
Ladies help me out, what

[Chorus: x2]

[Fabolous]
Hey, Hey Once a good girl gone bad She's gone forever
Prolly with me enjoying California weather
Hey Mami, we belong together
Like the white and yellow stones
That set into the prom together
And now a girl get into a stressed out mood
And go bad faster than left out food
They say it's the lazy flow the shorties love
It drive 'em crazy though, like Courtney Love
I keep a bad one that also's a good cook
5th Ave. classy mixed with the hood look
And my good look them bad for yo health
And everybody know you can do bad by yourself, girl

[Chorus]

Do you feel me now




Dance with me now
Ladies help me out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ Boom's song Bad Girl are about a girl who doesn't consider herself to be a bad girl, but she wants to break out of her shell and experience life. In the first verse, rapper Fabolous talks about how he can help a girl who may seem unassuming, but deep down, he can bring out the bad in her. He talks about how he can take a girl from the rougher parts of town to his house in the woods and hang out in the hot tub with some champagne. The chorus has a call and response between the female singer and the listeners. She asks if they feel her and if they are ready to dance with her, followed by a group response. The next verse is sung by the female artist, who explains that she's not usually the type of girl to act out, but tonight she's in the mood to let loose and have some fun. She wants to show that she can be a bit bad when she wants to.


Overall, the song is about breaking out of your shell and doing things that you might not usually do. It's about embracing your inner bad girl (or guy) and enjoying life to the fullest.
