So you want to be a bad boy
Hardened, touch and cold
So you want to hear your “friends” proclaim
“O.G.-You’re bad, you’re king, you’re bold.
So you want to impress the world, I see
Become a legend in your time
Do the things to bring you fame
Become the master mind.
You’ll have so much money
Around you all will swarm
You’ll have every honey
In your arms to keep you warm.
The clothes you’ll wear, the car you’ll drive
The House and all your “friends”
Everything you ever dreamed
You own, is yours, can’t end.
You’ll have power, hold your head up high
And, of course, if anyone offends you
Don’t you know they’ll have to die
“Don’t dis me man, you’re through.”
Everywhere you go in life
Men will give to you “respect”
Fear will cut them like a knife
Their nerves will all be wrecked.
Then one day you’re face down
Police are cuffin’ you
All your “friends” have done left town
Time for you to pay your dues.
They throw you in a prison cell
They take away your name
Now you find yourself in hell
It’s all part of the game.
The other cons sniff you out
Like sharks they circle round
They try you, see what you’re about
Then beat you in the ground.
They steal what little things you own
They pick, abuse and use you
To them it’s like a night on the town
Your dignity gone, they refuse you.
Now you’re serving someone else
Who’s badder and colder than you
All your pride and ego melts
There’s nothing that you can do.
You eat the slop sliding off your spoon
Get sick but there’s no doctor
Still have to clean your boyfriend’s room
And organize his locker.
For years you file your appeals
Each one comes back denied
Empty and useless is how you feel
You’ve lied and tried and cried.
Horror and terror everyday
You’re used to it by now
You’ve only thrown your life away
Bad boy, stand up-take a bow.
