Born Bad

Thats the way it begins -

You try to behave,

Yeah, you try to fit in.

But when you rise and stand

You find a lock-step march -

No room for jazz.

Uh huh.

Born bad-

With a slight-o-hand

I go from jam to jam

With a crash, boom, bam.

Born bad -

I dodge a sucker punch

And drop a bomb, like liston,

On an animal hunch.

Ive been down.

Yeah, Ive spent some time downtown.

Ive covered sacred ground,

Soft and slow and round.

I gave up.

Yeah, I learned to give it up,

Thinkin thats the final cut.

But it turns out I was wrong.

Born bad -

Thats the way it began,

Stuffed a young pink lung

Down a rank glue bag.

Born bad -

This is where it all lands

For a bull headed, corner hangin

Problem child man.

I grew hard.

Over time my scars toughed up.

When gettin even just wasnt enough,

I had to choke my conscience off.

Ive come far.

Yeah, I had to travel far.

Peel through layers sick and raw

Just to taste and touch once more.

Born bad -

Like a synchro-mesh shift

Thats stuck in third

Just smokes and burns.

Born bad -

With a cig-hangin lip.

A talk-back baby on a

Star-crossed ship.

Born bad.

Born bad.

That's the way it began.

Stuffed a young pink lung down a rank glue bag.

Born bad

This is where it'll land

For a bull headed corner hangin' problem child man.

Born bad.

Born bad.

Born bad.

Born bad.
