Bad Guy Necessity
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It bought that, bought that)
Oh, what a thing
I hate this job I'm working
Now my feet are hurting
I'm tired of talking to strangers all day long
With their dirty faces, they're from far away places
Are trying to replace us Oh no!
Everybody needs a bad guy
They need someone to blame
Everybody needs a bad guy (everybody needs a bad guy)
To point the finger to blame
I got fired for nothing
I thought they were just bluffing
I was almost on time, I had so much on my mind
I feel disrespected, I feel so neglected
I got to look over my shoulder (look on my shoulder)
While I'm driving and texting
I tell ya
Everybody needs a bad guy
So they can feel ok
Everybody needs a bad guy (everybody needs a bad guy)
So they can have a savior
They keep holding me back all the time
They keep holding me back all the time
They keep holding me back all the time
I point my finger, I point my finger at you
The nigga stay, I'm not staying good, but you're right
Yeah, watch that shit
We ain't playing, little nigga, Oakland, California
Do you hear me? Shit! Uh!
Everybody needs a bad guy
Someone they can point the finger at and blame
Everybody needs a bad guy (everybody needs a bad guy)
So they can have a savior
I hate my wife and my mistress
Now I am so addicted to these prescription pills
Mmmm, so delicious
I'm just a victim and I am so suspicious
I need protection, it's my second amendment
Everybody needs a bad guy
They need someone to blame (everybody needs one)
Everybody needs a bad guy (everybody needs a bad guy)
They need someone to save them
