Bad Boys
Mase & P. Diddy Lyrics

(Puff) Bad Boy... we ain't gon' stop
Puff Daddy and the Bad Boy Records crew will continue to dominate the music industry

Now with Sean on the hot track, melt like it's hot wax
With Sean Combs (Puff Daddy) producing, the music is so hot it's melting like hot wax.

Put it out, all the stores, bet you could shop that (that's right)
The album will be widely available in all stores, and will undoubtedly sell well.

Leave a nigga with a hot hat, fronting like / Bad Boy ain't got tracks (nigga stop that)
Trying to act like Bad Boy Records doesn't produce great tracks will make you look foolish

There's no guy slicker than this young fly nigga / Nickel-nine nigga, floss you die quicker (uh-huh)
Mase is slick and stylish, and if you try to show off against him, he'll make you regret it.

This fed time outta town pie flipper / Turn Cristal into a Crooked I sipper
Mase is a former drug dealer who now enjoys sipping expensive champagne and top-shelf liquor.

Everbody want to be fast, see the cash / Fuck around they weak staff, get a heat rash
People want to make money quickly, but they often end up with a bad team or rash decisions.

Anything in Bad Boy way we smash (we smash) / Hundred G stash, push a bulletproof E-Class (ehehe)
Bad Boy Records will crush anyone who gets in their way, and they have a lot of money and a fancy car to prove it.

I'm through with bein a player and a baller / Just want me one bad bitch so I can spoil her
Mase wants to settle down and find one special woman to treat well, instead of chasing after multiple women.

Mase want to be the one you respect, even when you're vexed / Rock Versace silks over spilled brunette
Mase wants to be respected even when people are angry with him, and he wears expensive clothing.

Got green never seen so you suck my jewels / Clutch my uz', anything I touch I bruise
Mase has a lot of money that he's never shown anyone, and he's not afraid to use his gun to protect himself and what's his.

Puff make his own laws, nigga fuck your rules (that's right) / Goodfellas, you know you can't touch us dudes
Puff Daddy is powerful and doesn't need to follow others' rules, and he and his crew are untouchable like the gangsters in the movie Goodfellas.

[Puff] Don't push us, cause we're close to the, edge / [Puff] We're tryin, not to lose our heads, a-hah hah hah hah
Puff Daddy and his crew are on the brink of success, and they're trying to stay level-headed.

Broken glass everywhere *glass shatters* / if it ain't about the money, Puff, I just don't care (that's right)
There's broken glass everywhere, but if the situation doesn't involve money, Puff Daddy doesn't care.

I'm that Goodfella fly guy, sometimes wiseguys / Spend time in H-A-W-A-I-I
Mase is a stylish guy who sometimes acts like a gangster, but he also takes vacations in Hawaii.

(Mase can you please stop smoking lah lah?) / Puff why try? I'm a thug, I'ma die high
Mase's friend asks him to stop smoking marijuana, but Mase doesn't see the problem and identifies himself as a thug who'll die high.

I be out in Jersey, puffin Hershey / Brothers ain't worthy to rock my derby
Mase spends time in New Jersey smoking marijuana and others aren't good enough to wear his hat.

Though I'm never drugged, I'm the venom in the club, G / Though I know the thug be wantin to slug me (uh-huh)
Mase doesn't need substances to enjoy himself in clubs, but other gangsters still might want to fight him.

Could it be I move as smoove as Bugsy? (yeah) / Or be at the bar with too much bubbly? (c'mon)
Mase moves as smoothly as the famous gangster Bugsy Siegel, or could he be enjoying too much champagne at the bar?

Yo I think it must be the girls want to lust me / Or is it simply the girls just love me
Mase thinks he's popular with women either because they lust after him or because they just love him.

Brothers wanna: rock the Rolls, rock my clothes / Rock my ice, pull out Glocks, stop my life (uhh)
Other men want to have what Mase has, including his car, clothes, and jewelry, and they might try to harm him to get them.

I'm like, "Damn, how these niggaz got they trust? / Used to be my man, how you gonna plot on my wife?"
Mase wonders how his former friends could betray him like this by trying to sleep with his wife.

Do you think you snake me, cause they hate me? / Or he got his Ph.D; Player Hater's Degree? (Ahaha!)
Mase wonders if his former friends are plotting against him because they don't like him, or if they're just jealous player haters.

[Chorus] / [Mase] Can't nobody take my pride / [Puff] Uh-uh, uh-uh / [Mase] Can't nobody hold me down... ohh no / [Mase] I got to keep on movin
No one can take away Mase's pride, and he won't let anyone hold him back from moving forward in life.

Quit that! (uh-huh) You a big cat? (yeah) / Where your chicks at? (yeah) Where your whips at? (where dey at?)
Mase tells someone to stop what they're doing, and questions whether they're really as cool as they think they are, and whether they have women and cars.

Wherever you get stacks, I'ma fix that / Everything that's big dreams, I did that (that's right)
Mase will take whatever money you have, and everything he's accomplished is a result of dreaming big and working hard.

Don't knock me cause you're boring / I'm record sales soaring (*whistling*) straight touring
Don't criticize Mase because your life is boring. He's selling a lot of records and touring successfully.

Simply a lot of men be wantin to hear me / 'Cause their words just don't offend me (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Many men enjoy listening to Mase because his music doesn't offend them.

We spend cheese, in the West Indies / Then come home to plenty cream Bentleys (ahehe)
Mase and his crew spend a lot of money in the Caribbean, and they have plenty of luxury cars when they return.

You name it, I could claim it / Young, black, and famous, with money hangin out the anus
Mase has accomplished everything he's set his mind to, and he's young, black, and famous, with a lot of money.

And when you need a hit, who you go and get? (who?) / Bet against us? (Not a sure bet)
If you want a hit song, you go to Puff Daddy and his crew, and betting against them isn't a smart idea.

We make hits that will rearrange your whole set (that's right) / and got a Benz that I ain't even drove yet
Puff Daddy and his crew make hit songs that will completely change the music industry, and they have a fancy car that they haven't even driven yet.

[Mase] Don't push us, cause we're close to the, edge / [Mase] We're tryin, not to, lose our heads, a-hah-hah-hah-hah
Mase reminds others not to push them too far, because they're at the brink of success and they need to stay calm.

[Mase] I get the feeling sometime, that make me wonder / [Mase] Why you want to take us under / [Puff] Why you want to take us under [Repeat: x2]
Mase wonders why someone would want to harm or ruin their success, and Puff Daddy echoes his sentiment.

[Chorus Repeats]
The chorus repeats and reminds listeners that no one can hold them down or take away their pride.
