Gonna tell you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight
I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't shoot to kill
Come on
Lay it on me
All right
I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about
But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, come on (bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, come on, you know (bad, bad, really, really bad)

Just to tell you once again
Who's bad
The word is out
You're doin' wrong
Gonna lock you up
Before too long
Your lyin' eyes
Gonna tell you right
So listen up
Don't make a fight
Your talk is cheap
You're not a man
You're throwin' stones
To hide your hands
But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
And my friends you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, come on (bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad, come on, you know (bad, bad, really, really bad)

No entiendo su enojΓ³ xd
Este remix es oficial y es parte del contenido bonus del Bad 25 Aniversario
PodrΓ‘ ser remixeada, pero para ser eso la canciΓ³n quedΓ³ bien
Tiene aΓΊn de basΓ© la icΓ³nica melodΓa de la canciΓ³n
Aunque la voz de pitbull no quede perfecta con la de Michael
Pudo haber Sido otro artista y hubiera salido peor
I don't understand his anger xd
This remix is ββofficial and is part of the Bad 25th Anniversary bonus content
It may be remixed, but for that the song turned out well
It still has the iconic melody as its base
Although the pitbull voice does not fit perfectly with Michael's
It could have been another artist and had gone worse.
@codslayer6968
@cassandrarossignol7896 what he means is the original is a great song from a legend.. art if you will.. this remix is trash and made for money...
(yes someone likes it...) but if you're going to adapt the original source material, and it doesn't hit... then KIND OF destroys the art.
Yesss somewhere someone likes it. But over all ruined the original.
P.s. i know i can enjoy the original but iv still heared this disaster and it has had a impact on the art MJ Made. My personal opinion π€·ββοΈ
@soovi4522
This wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have to listen to "Makin a toast to the king, we're bad for life" like 4 times.
