Bad Boy For Life
Sean Combs Lyrics

Aiyyo, you ready?
Let's get started

Let's do it
Let's get started

I'm the definition of half man, half drugs
I am a person who is both a man and engages in using drugs

Ask the clubs - Bad Boy, that's whassup
The clubs will confirm that Bad Boy is popular and successful

After bucks, crush crews after us
We are after money and when we get it, others are jealous and try to compete or sabotage

No games, we ain't laughin much
We are serious about what we do and don't find much reason to laugh

Nothin but big thangs, check the hitlist
We are all about achieving great things, just check our accomplishments

How we twist shit, what changed but the name?
We've only changed our name but we're still great at twisting situations to our advantage

We still here, you rockin wit the best
We're still here and we're the best, and you know you're lucky to be associated with us

Don't worry if I write rhymes - I write checks (hah!)
I don't need to worry about my rapping skills because I have enough money to pay others to write my rhymes

Who's the boss? Dudes is lost
We're the ones in charge and those who don't recognize that are lost

Don't think cause I'm iced out, I'ma cool off
Just because I'm wearing jewelry and diamonds, it doesn't mean I will calm down or become less ambitious

Who else but me? (who else?) And if you don't feel me
There's no one else like me, and if you don't understand that, you're not on the same level

That mean you can't touch me, it's ugly, trust me
If you can't appreciate me, you can't affect me, and it's not a pretty thing to be on my bad side

Get it right dawg, we ain't ever left
Understand that we never left and have been here the whole time

We just, moved in silence and repped to the death (yeah)
We continued to work hard and represent Bad Boy, even if we weren't always in the public eye

It's official, I survived what I been through
I officially overcame what I faced in the past

Y'all got drama, "The Saga Continues..."
You all have problems and difficulties to deal with, and the stories about Bad Boy will continue

Hey yo straight from the Harlem streets
This story comes directly from the streets of Harlem

I don't play, I push it down with the Harlem Heat (uh-huh)
I mean business and represent Harlem with passion and strength

All a sudden niggaz got a problem wit me (Black, what happened?)
Suddenly, some people have an issue with me, and Black Rob wonders what happened to cause that

They run around actin like the Black-o can't eat
They are acting like I can't be successful or make money

And you know what? (what?) For some strange reason (uhh)
And you know what? There's some strange reason behind it

I'm off of this medication, feelin deranged needin
I am no longer on medication but feel unbalanced and in need of something

For y'all to put the word out (c'mon, c'mon) we ain't leavin
For my friends and fans to spread the word that we're not going away

We tryin to be rich before we all stop breathin
We're trying to achieve wealth while we're still alive

Therefore (what?) we kinda hustle lames
For this reason, we're focused on making money, while those who don't understand that are weak and foolish

Stay layin down our muscle games (c'mon)
We will continue to assert our strength and power in our endeavors

Still turn niggaz dreams to flames (yeah) you got the wire
We are taking other people's aspirations and turning them into reality, and we have connections to get things done

If not I ain't sayin no names, you'll soon expire (heh)
If we don't have the support of powerful people, we won't help them out, and they will eventually lose their influence

No pain (nothin) I feel remorse
I have no regrets and don't feel bad

Yes of course it's me and Diddy up first racin Porsches
Mark Curry is excited that he's in a fast car with P. Diddy

Wit the big twin valve exhaust-es {*screeching*} (yeah)
The car they're in has a loud, powerful engine

On the cover of ya Vibe's, XXL's and Source's bitch (c'mon, let's go)
Our faces are on the cover of popular magazines

Yeah, yeah, yo, yeah
Mark Curry is excited and ready to continue singing

It ain't shit changed, since the Notorious (We miss you B.I.G.)
Nothing has really changed since Notorious B.I.G.'s death

See everything still glorious (yeah)
Despite everything, everything's still great and successful

We still got Warriors, still be the Victorious (that's right)
We still have brave and strong people, and we will continue to be successful

See it's a lot of them, but it's more of us
There are many of our critics, but there are more of us who support Bad Boy

Still got cash to blow, raps to flow
We still have lots of money to spend, and we're still making great music

Still them cats that know, pack ya flow, that's fo' sho'
People who really understand music know that Bad Boy is the best, no doubt about it

Bottles that pop, joints that rock
We are popping champagne bottles and smoking joints while enjoying ourselves

Played the background, hand on my jock, holdin my glock (hahaha)
We sometimes keep a low profile, but we're always ready to defend ourselves with our guns

Money to get (yeah), cars to flip (uhh)
We're always looking to make more money and buy exciting things like cars

Bars to sit at and sip Cognac wit jewels that drip (c'mon)
We're rich enough to sit at luxurious bars and sip expensive drinks while adorned with fancy jewelry

Hoes to see (uhh), make sure they knowin it's me (they know it's you)
We want all the women to know who we are and to see us as important figures

Drop that beat, can't believe that I MC (haha)
Start the music, it's incredible that I can successfully rap

Bad Boy 'til the casket drop (Bad Boy) gotta love it
We will represent Bad Boy until we die, and everyone should love that

Place nuttin above it (nuttin) it's on like that (c'mon)
Nothing is more important than Bad Boy, and we're passionate about it

Don't believe, we ain't goin like that we're always gonna be here (yeah)
Don't believe that we're going away anytime soon, we're here to stay

Bad Boy.. we ain't goin nowhere
Bad Boy is not leaving or going away

Uh-huh.. uh-huh.. what?
Mark Curry is asking if the audience is still with him and understanding what he's saying

We ain't goin nowhere.. we gon' stay right here
We're not leaving, we'll continue to exist and thrive in the present

For ever, and ever, and ever, and ever.. c'mon
We will always exist and continue to thrive, and Mark Curry wants the audience to join him and be energetic about it

Yeah, uh-huh.. uh-huh, uh-huh)
Mark Curry is ending the song on a high-energy, enthusiastic note
