Bad Bad News!
G-Eazy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not at all, but you know, we can all be in love and we fall out of love
You have to be in love with yourself
You've never been loved before?
I have never felt, I haven't
Bad, bad, bad news

Uh, the look in your eyes, you don't seem halfway
You're scared as you should be (hmm, why would I ever be scared?)
Uh, and every single one of your friends says to run far away from me
I'm bad, bad news (but I like you)
They don't wanna see a tragedy, uh (so what?)
I'm bad, bad news (bad, bad, bad news)
That's what they all say about me (really?)

(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news)

Uh, they don't fit that mold
Everything that shines isn't always gold
You get mad, then your blood runs cold
But I know you don't believe all them lies you're told
That I'm bad, bad news, uh
Just another tragedy, uh
I'm bad, bad news
Why would I give a fuck what they say about me?

(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news) You know, uh

What if we make a swell couple?
Best friend thinkin' everythin' about him just spells trouble
Dreams flyin' off the shelves, he probably sells double
Tellin' lies and sinnin', he belongs on a hell shuttle
Fuck, arms covered in tattoos
There's so many taboos 'bout him but she's in love with the bad dudes
She don't listen when her friends say that he's bad news
She knows better, that's my baby, yeah (bad, bad, bad news)

(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news)





(Bad, bad, bad news)
(Bad, bad, bad news)

Overall Meaning

In G-Eazy's song "Bad Bad News," the lyrics delve into the complex dynamics of love and self-perception. The opening lines speak to the ephemeral nature of love, emphasizing that it can come and go, and that one must first love themselves before expecting love from others. This notion sets the tone for the rest of the song, reflecting on the common misconceptions and judgments placed upon the singer.


The lyrics then address the doubts and fears that the singer's love interest may have about him. Despite these concerns, the singer proclaims that he likes this person and questions why he should care about the opinions of others. This defiance against societal expectations and preconceptions reveals a sense of self-assuredness in the singer's character.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer is often labeled as "bad news." However, it challenges this characterization by questioning the validity of such statements, ultimately suggesting that one should not believe everything they hear about someone. This defiance against the negative labels and stereotypes further emphasizes the importance of individual judgment and self-perception.


Overall, "Bad Bad News" explores the themes of self-love, societal judgments, and the perseverance of an individual's character in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to question and challenge the opinions others may hold about them, promoting the idea that one should embrace their true selves rather than conform to societal expectations or judgments.
