Verse 1:

(with Intro Riff):

Your butt is mine,
Gonna tell you right,
Just show your face,
In broad daylight.
I'm telling you;
On how I feel,
Gonna hurt your mind,
Don't shoot to kill.
Come on, come on,
Lay it on me,
All right...

Verse 2:

(with Intro Riff):

I'm giving you,
On count of three,
To show your stuff,
Or let it be...
I'm telling you;
Just watch your mouth,
I know your game,
What you're about.

And to me that's really true.
       Bm7                  C#m7
But my friend you have seen nothin',
     E7#9
Just wait 'til I get through...

You know I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7              D9
 (Really, really bad).

            Am7      D9
Because I'm bad, I'm bad,
Am7              D9

        Am7
And the whole world,
       D9
Has to answer right now,

Just to tell you once a-gain;
(n.c)

Your talk is cheap,
