Bad News
Danny Brown & Action Bronson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo L, aye L
Danny get the car
We gotta get the fuck outta here Dan

Murder, death, kill pull a one 87
If you ain't gon' give it motherfucker I'ma take it
Boy I'll turn ya' to a raisin
Just to bring home the bacon
For me to see heaven I would need to meet Satan
So my heart so vacant
My mind's on some 'take shit! Break shit! Spray shit!'
In some raw day shit
Face-lift braces, unsolved cases
Hittin' up the witnesses so can't nobody say shit
I think the reaper callin'
Picked up the phone and said
"I got a couple coming"
'Cause blood in my eye and I'm thirsty for death
(?) walking up heaven's steps
Got a getaway driver, just chillin' in a stolen
Parolee with a 40 that'll take what you owe me
'Cause I'm no (?)
And the last thing yo' ass wanna hear is these words

Guns are in the trunk
Money in the seat
Guns are in the trunk
Think they gonna and get us, never
Uh, the white OJ in the hallway
The long .44 spray
One leg up on the Velour grey
Gettin' straddled while I'm eatin' strudle
We fuck you up so bad that you will never take a normal doo-doo
Or a pee-pee, bedridden
Now I'm laughing while head is given
No fucks are given ever cause I'm rotten to the core
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya right into the door
Aah, cross the street when you see us by the store
I'm off the leash, dick hanging on the floor
Box cutters rolled up in the waistband of the 09's
You thought you had your little shit
Clickin' now, but no mas
My bitch will choke you out with strong thighs
Strong features in the face from New Guinea
Smokin' dope, doing 360's in a Mini




She half Dominican and Trini
Bad news

Overall Meaning

In the song β€œBad News” by Danny Brown and Action Bronson, the lyrics depict the life of two gangsters who are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. The chorus reveals their dangerous ways, β€œGuns are in the trunk, money in the seat, think they gonna and get us, never,” as they are always prepared for anything that might come their way. The first verse is about Danny Brown’s thirst for killing and his heart being empty. He seems almost robotic in his desire to take what he wants no matter what the cost. The line about seeing Satan is a metaphor for his willingness to do what is necessary to achieve his goals. Brown speaks of wanting to die and to walk heaven’s steps, while his partner in crime, Action Bronson acts like nothing can stop him. He has no compassion and no remorse for any actions he takes, laughing while somebody is getting head.


The second verse describes the two gangsters in action, with both men out of control and unpredictable. Bronson’s reference to OJ in the hallway is in reference to OJ Simpson, who was famously acquitted of murdering his ex-wife despite overwhelming evidence. It’s a line that indicates that Bronson believes he can get away with anything. The mention of box cutters rolled up in the waistband reveals that he is always prepared for a fight. In the last line, he raps, β€œBad news,” which is an indicator of the fact that they are both dangerous men. The lyrics are a reminder that there are always people out there who are willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead, even if it means causing harm to others to do so.

[Verse 1: Danny Brown]
Murder, death, killβ€”pull a 187
If you ain't gon' give it, motherfucker, I'mma take it
Boy, I'll turn ya' to a raisin
Just to bring home the bacon
For me to see heaven I would need to meet Satan
So my heart so vacant
My mind's on some "Take shit! Break shit! Spray shit!"
Hit-you-broad-day shit
Face-lift, braces, unsolved cases
Hittin' up the witnesses so can't nobody say shit
I think the reaper callin'
Picked up the phone and said
"I got a couple coming"
'Cause blood in my eye and I'm thirsty for death
For the paper you’ll fo' sho' be walking up heaven’s steps
Got a getaway driver, just chillin' in a stolen
Parolee with a 40 that'll take what you owe me
'Cause I'm no herb
And the last thing yo' ass wanna hear is these words
