Bad
Jackson (Michael) Lyrics

Your butt is mine
I am in control and you need to listen to me

Gonna tell you right
I am going to be straightforward and honest with you

Just show your face
Don't hide from me, confront me upfront

In broad daylight
We need to face our problems during daytime and in plain sight

I'm telling you
I need to communicate something important to you

On how I feel
These are my emotions and they need to be addressed

Gonna hurt your mind
I am going to challenge your beliefs and thoughts

Don't shoot to kill
Don't take extreme measures or actions against me

Come on
I am urging you to act or respond to me

Lay it on me
Tell me everything, don't hold back

All right
Okay, let's proceed

I'm giving you
I am offering you an opportunity

On count of three
We need to act swiftly and on cue

To show your stuff
Demonstrate your value and worth

Or let it be
If you're not up to the challenge, move on

Just watch your mouth
Be careful what you say to me

I know your game
I am aware of your tricks or strategies

What you're about
I know your intentions and motivations

But they say the sky's the limit
There are no boundaries or limitations to what we can do

And to me that's really true
I believe this statement wholeheartedly

But my friend you have seen nothin'
You have no idea what I'm capable of

Just wait 'til I get through
You will witness my full potential soon enough

Because I'm bad, I'm bad, come on (bad, bad, really, really bad)
I am confident and unapologetic about who I am

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, come on, you know (bad, bad, really, really bad)
My reputation precedes me and you know what I'm capable of

And the whole world has to Answer right now
Everyone must acknowledge my talent and influence

Just to tell you once again Who's bad
I am asserting my dominance and superiority

The word is out
People know about your misdeeds

You're doin' wrong
You are engaged in illegal, immoral or unethical behavior

Gonna lock you up
You will face the consequences of your actions and be punished

Before too long
Your actions will catch up with you eventually

Your lyin' eyes
Your body language and behavior indicate that you're guilty

So listen up
Pay attention to what I am saying

Don't make a fight
Don't try to argue with me or make excuses

Your talk is cheap
Your words are meaningless and insincere

You're not a man
You lack the courage, integrity and honor of a true man

You're throwin' stones
You are attacking me unfairly or unjustly

To hide your hands
You are trying to conceal your true intentions and actions

We can change the world tomorrow
We have the power and potential to create a better future

This could be a better place
The world has the potential to be a more harmonious, peaceful and equitable society

If you don't like what I'm sayin'
If you disagree with me or my views

Then won't you slap my face
Take action against me if you dare

You know I'm, woo, I'm bad, you know it (bad, bad, really, really bad)
I am confident in my abilities, skills and reputation

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, baby (bad, bad, really, really bad)
My talent and influence are undeniable

You know, you know, you know it, come on (bad, bad, really, really bad)
You are fully aware of my dominance and superiority

And the whole world has to Answer right now Just to tell you once again
My talent and influence are so significant that everyone must acknowledge it repeatedly

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it (bad, bad, really, really bad)
I remain confident in my skills and reputation

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, woo (bad, bad, really, really bad)
My self-esteem and positive self-image are justified

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it (bad, bad, really, really bad)
My talent and influence are undeniable and unquestionable

And the whole world has to Answer right now Just to tell you once again Who's bad?
I have proven my superiority and everyone must acknowledge it repeatedly
