My Quan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

learned at a early age what's important in life
its a game,bet your money,don't get caught in that dice
i had tony montana dreams of takin over
getting rich mixing yae,wit dat baking soda
there's 3 options get money,death or jail
fuck college,my career wuz right there in those scales
never personal,nah I'm a businessman
cut off a nigga hand he come up short on a gram
put your money where your mouth iz,ill take yo chips
'cause if don't make dollars,den it don't make sense
ask any nigga dat did dirt wit da god
i used to work hard,robbing niggaz dat work hard
so if you're slanging keys
or slanging cds
the more you sell,the more jealousy you're gonna see
I'm olny good at doing drugs,sports and entertainment
that's what i told the judge in court at my arainment

chorus(x2)

I sold everything from crack,to guns,to weed
keep the heat between my boxers and my dongeries
the whole business ran off supply and demand
wit dis i had a whole hood inside my hand
just taste it,swear your tongue be numb for a week
but try to jerk it,swear yo azz be unda the sheet
keep flipping it raw,keep sellin that weight
till they,kick in the door,its the american way
organized crime,infratated the force
we above the law,that's cause we paying em off
gave my debt to society,but where's my change
for when i went in,i came out worse or even the same
its the game of life
been like dis since the beginning
who could get the most cars,collect the best women
you can't judge nobody cause its all essence
whoever die wit the most money in the end when

chorus(x2)
(chorus)

if nothin good is wrong then i don't want to be right
and if we got to knock a block or two then that's just fine
call me the bad guy(the bad guy)




i got to have mine(got to have mine)
if nothin good is wrong i don't want to be right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to My Quan's song Bad Guy depict the mindset and experiences of someone who grew up in a life of crime. They started young, learning early on that betting money and avoiding getting caught by the authorities was key to survival. They had dreams of becoming a big-time drug dealer, mixing cocaine with baking soda to maximize profits. The only way out of this life seemed to be through making a lot of money or ending up dead or in jail.


The singer proudly sees themselves as a businessman, willing to cut off someone's hand if they don't pay up on time. They have no loyalty to anyone and are willing to take anyone's money, whether they earned it through illegal or legitimate means. They acknowledge the jealousy that comes with being successful in the drug trade and warn about the dangers of getting caught by law enforcement.


The chorus repeats the phrase "if nothing good is wrong then I don't want to be right," emphasizing the sense of moral ambiguity and justification for their actions. Overall, the lyrics suggest that selling drugs and engaging in organized crime is just a part of the game of life, and whoever dies with the most money in the end wins.
