Lawd of mercy
Bad boys, easy
Take it easy and calm
(What is going on?)

Alright
Well, a murda she wrote
Kick you like the bullet from a .45 colt
Hired assassins dem inna blood spot
Turn it up a notch and take it to a higher volt
(Well) a murda she wrote
Kick you like the bullet from a .45 colt
Hired assassins dem inna blood spot
Take it up, another take it to a higher

Change the game from selling smack and selling dope
How the yayo make the empire float
With your entire life under microscope
Out of the game is your only hope
South of Philadelphia, Los Angeles streets
Bullshit walks while gunshots speak
The life of a gangsta is bitter and sweet

Surrounded by snitches and lowlife creeps
Dirty cops who stick on like leech
Soldier 'pon the corner, you know seh we shit, cyaan weak
They talk, we act, we move, and dem stop
B-bad to the bone and we love it like that
Dem-a flip and a-flop, we shit deh 'pon lock
And anyweh we go, dancehall haffi

Alright

Kick you like the bullet from a .45 colt

Bad to the bone

Hear me now, from juvenile detention to doing real time
Although, you never really choose a life of crime
We see how many gone and what they left behind
Criminal intent with criminal mind
Bad boy, bad boy, well, it is your time
Where you gonna hide now? Your life is on the line
Not a slap on the wrist, a-me seh no, not a fine
And anyhow dem catch you better luck next time
