Bad News
Francko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay, the sheriff say we evicted
Ain't that what I predicted?
People don't listen until they serve a sentence
Don't repent, just pay your penance

Yesterday, I got some bad news
Couldn't tell you what I went through
Plus, they gave my brother 2
Fuck 12
Open the cells
Niggas have hate for me
I wish 'em well
I do not have time to just sit there and dwell
Focused on my whole bank account swell
Some people just gonna sit there and tell
I'm going to go out there, do what it do
Not on the stove, but I stay in the stew
Niggas rapping just like Pepe Le Pew, ew

I just had to take a breath
I'ma say it with my chest
Real players move like chess
Mine went right, yours left
Look what you have left
You can't repay the debt
But you couldn't call your friend
That's how that story ends
I know you the saw the texts
Promise that's what you'll regret
17 times, after 10, it was dead
J got you jaded, going on in your head
I even stayed quiet to feds
You was in the back
Riding on the pegs
Listen, I stayed with the mission
You want competition
I stayed with intention
Then I got my pension
Then I heard you mentioned me
And that caught my attention, see
How you try to threaten me
You turned us to enemies
Only snakes have frenemies
I'm not who you pretend to be
Hurt people offending me
Sit back, cut all this celery
Burning the weed, it's an effigy
Can't nobody out here f with me
Shawty told me give her my blessings please

Yesterday, I got some bad news
Couldn't tell you what I went through
Plus, they gave my brother 2
Fuck 12
Open the cells
Niggas have hate for me
I wish 'em well
I do not have time to just sit there and dwell
Focused on my whole bank account swell
Some people just gonna sit there and tell
I'm going to go out there, do what it do
Not on the stove, but I stay in the stew
Niggas rapping just like Pepe Le Pew, ew

Niggas out here tryna extort me
What if my baby abort me?
If the opps send me to court, b
Who's going to pay the court fee?
I'm upper echelon
Closer to God than the reverend
I stay high like my girl's maintenance
I'm not with all of that faking shit
Get out of the kitchen
You bacon bits
I got the flavor
She savor
I got the sauce
I'm the boss
Yeah
Yeah
Aye
I got the flavor she savor




I got the sauce
I'm the boss

Overall Meaning

The song "Bad News" by Francko appears to be about the consequences of one's actions catching up to them, and dealing with those consequences. In the first verse, Francko mentions being evicted and how people tend to ignore warnings until they face serious consequences. He associates this with paying penance, which implies that he sees the difficulty and punishment as necessary consequences for his actions.


The chorus of the song speaks to Francko receiving bad news and not being able to divulge the details. The mention of his brother also receiving bad news, coupled with the exclamation of "fuck 12" and the line "open the cells" seem to imply that law enforcement may be involved. Despite the negative events occurring, Francko expresses his desire to not dwell on them but rather focus on his success and self-improvement.


In the second verse, Francko touches on the idea of people trying to take advantage of him and potentially sabotaging his success. He references the potential of someone extorting him and how that could affect his personal life. Despite these threats, Francko maintains his confidence and high regard for himself, positioning himself as "upper echelon" and closer to God than a reverend. He concludes the song by repeating his confidence in himself and his abilities.
