Bad
K. Forest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad that you went and got it?
Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad nothing ever could of stopped you like that?
I'mma go and get this shit right now
I'mma go and get this shit right now

Did it real big from the 'sip
No dollars, no chains
Didn't have a car I could drive
Took the bus, and the train
To the A, for a break
Fuck y'all if you fake
And all them hatin' ass niggas
That said I never had what it takes
Country boy, kept it gritty
All my real friends still with me
Saw my future in this rap shit
And had to go get it

Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad that you went and got it?
Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad nothing ever could of stopped you like that?
I'mma go and get this shit right now
I'mma go and get this shit right now

Big body Benz
House on the hills, bad bitches in it
Suicide doors, presidential with it
Had to get it tinted
Life is a life, big dreams
Tryna see my name in lights
Bet a million on the underdog
Ringside children at the fight
Buy a jet just to say I flown it
Cop a Bentley just say I own it
Ain't nothin' too much or too clutch if you really really want it

Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad that you went and got it?
Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad
Like so bad nothing ever could of stopped you like that?
I'mma go and get this shit right now
I'mma go and get this shit right now

All I ever wanted was a million dollars
'Til I heard a million ain't enough
Couple houses, different states, cars, different places
You could fuck a million up
Now its just the time thats its, been chilling with my girl
Kicking with my friends oversee car keys for the freaks
Did enough shows we'll be back again
Wanna save the world on the go
Grandma in a grave, rest her soul
Wish she lived to be a hundred
So she could see her boy gettin' old
Gettin' grown, takin' care of business
And visions of all the ventures and different riches
That far from penny pinchin' my wishes
And wishing wells
Put my heart and spirit in the lyrics
No regretin', unapologetic even if it don't sell
Tell them motherfuckers I prevail through the struggle
Ran a play no huddle
Old school that could hover
Grippin' on the grain, I ain't been the same, niggas in trouble





I'mma go and get this shit right now
I'mma go and get this shit right now

Overall Meaning

The song "Bad" by K. Forest is a motivational anthem about the relentless pursuit of success. The chorus repeats the lines "Have you ever wanted something so bad, like so bad, like so bad that you went and got it?" as a reminder to his listeners that they too can achieve whatever they desire if they have the drive and commitment. The use of the word "bad" in the chorus emphasizes the intensity of the desire and sets the tone for the rest of the song.


The first verse talks about K. Forest's journey towards success. He explains that he started from humble beginnings without any money, chains, or a car. Despite his lack of resources, he remained determined and took the bus and train to Atlanta to pursue his dreams.
