Bad Boys
Diddy/Murphy Lee/Nelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ayo, you ready?
Let's do it?
Mm, yeah
Yeah
Whoa-whoa, ah
Come on

I'm the definition of half man, half drugs
Ask the clubs, Bad Boy, that's what's up
After bucks, crush crews after us
No games, we ain't laughin' much
Nothin' but big things, check the hit-list
How we twist shit, what changed but the name?
We still here, you're rockin' with the best
Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks (ha)
Who's the boss? Dudes is lost
Don't think 'cause I'm iced out, I'ma cool off
Who else but me? (Who else?) And if you don't feel me
That means you can't touch me, it's ugly, trust me
Get it right, dawg, we ain't ever left
We just move in silence and rep to the death (yeah)
It's official, I survive what I been through
Y'all got drama, the saga continues

We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh)
We can't be stopped now (Bad Boy), 'cause it's Bad Boy for life

Ayo, straight from the Harlem streets
I don't play, I push it down wit the Harlem Heat (uh-huh)
All a sudden niggas got a problem wit me (Black, what happened?)
They run around actin' like the Black-o can't eat
And you know what? (What?) For some strange reason (uh)
I'm off of this medication, feelin' deranged needin'
For y'all to put the word out (come on, come on), we ain't leavin'
We tryna be rich before we all stop breathin' (come on)
Therefore (what?), we kinda hustle lames
Stay layin' down our muscle games (come on)
Still turn niggas' dreams to flames (yeah)
You got the wire? If not, I ain't sayin' no names, you'll soon expire (ha)
No pain (nothin'), I feel remorse
Yes, of course it's me and Diddy up first racin' Porsches
With the big twin valve exhausts (yeah)
On the cover of your Vibes (haha), XXLs, and Sources, bitch (yeah, come on)

We ain't goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now (that's right), 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't (we ain't) goin' nowhere (uh-uh), we ain't (uh-uh) goin' (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life (yeah, yeah, yo, yeah)

And ain't shit changed, since the Notorious (We miss you B.I.G.)
See everything still glorious (yeah)
We still got warriors, still be the victorious (that's right)
See it's a lot of them, but it's more of us
Still got cash to blow, raps that flow
Still them cats that know, pack your flow
That's fo' sho', bottles that pop
Joints that rock, play the background
Hand on my jock, holdin' my Glock (haha)
Money to get (yeah), cars to flip (uh)
Bars to sit at and sip Cognac with jewels that drip (come on)
Hoes to see, make sure they knowin' it's me (they know it's you)
Drop that beat, can't believe that I MC (haha)
Bad Boy 'til the casket drop (Bad Boy)
Gotta love it, place nothin' above it (nothin')
It's on like that (come on), don't believe, we ain't gone like that
We're always gonna be here (yeah)
We there (uh) every motherfuckin' year (what? Let's go)

We ain't (Bad Boy) goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere (we ain't goin' nowhere)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life (come on)
We ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere, we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere (what?)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life

We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
(We ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here forever and ever and ever and ever, come on)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life
We ain't goin' nowhere, we ain't goin' nowhere
(We ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here, we ain't goin' nowhere, we gon' stay right here)
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life





We ain't (yeah, uh-huh) goin' nowhere, (uh-uh) we ain't (uh-uh) goin' nowhere
We can't be stopped now, 'cause it's Bad Boy for life

Overall Meaning

The song Bad Boys by Diddy, Murphy Lee, and Nelly is a track about their achievements and success. The song starts by stating that Diddy is the definition of half man, half drugs and that he is a Bad Boy. They have people after them, crush crews, and they don't take games. They have only one thing in mind, and that's achieving big things. The song also talks about how they twist things and still come out on top, and if you don't feel them, then you can't touch them, which is to say that you need to understand the grind to appreciate their triumph.


In the second verse, Murphy Lee appears, and he talks about how people are starting to resent him for his success, which is when he steps in and declares that they aren't going anywhere. He states that they're looking to amass wealth and grow rich before they die, and they keep hustling and turning dreams into flames. They're always on the move, and their backgrounds are nothing compared to their achievements. The song also mentions the late Biggie Smalls, stating that since his passing, nothing has changed, and everything is still glorious.

1995-2003 was super golden hiphop year!!!

@Not_really

Absolutely ! That's where I go for my "vintage" beats.

That era saw rapid transformation of rap and society, although the transformation of society wasn't always for the better, but as vintage beats go, 1990 - early 2000s is the lick.

@randomminimize-eo2cl

I was born in 1990 and indeed hip-hop was gold

@user-sm2zj5ci5f
