Ian Mereness - Bad Man lyrics

You see really I don't Give a damn what you may think of me (That's right you're a bad a** n***a) I'mma do what I'mma do, I'mma say what I'mma say (You think you're a bad a** n***a) Ya understand what I'm saying? Well you better I was born in these streets Raised in these streets Walked in these streets Taught by these streets Lived in these streets Hustled in these streets Arrested in these streets Protected by these streets Yeah you know I walk Through the valley of these streets I shall not fear these streets Because I run these streets (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) And I've paid my own dues With my own pennies and now 1 - I'm a bad man I'm not ashamed of A bad man yeah And don't need your love I'm a bad man yeah I'm not ashamed of I'm a bad man My life's made me tough I've stood on these blocks More hood on these blocks Got paid on these blocks Sprayed on these blocks Moved in on these blocks Went out on these blocks I've been around the block Been watched on these blocks Yeah you know I walk Through the valley of these blocks I shall not fear these blocks Because I run these blocks, yeah (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) Paid my own dues with my own pennies And I'm Repeat 1 Now I believe the day will come When my heart will decide to change But until then See everything will remain the same Repeat 1 See sometimes I gotta tell myself (I'm a bad man) To keep surviving And no matter what the cause (I'm a bad man) I gotta keep on keeping on yeah Came up in these streets (I'm a bad man) There was no father there for me, hey ooh (I'm a bad man) Cause sometimes we would just have to go without eating Hey how you like me now? (I'm a bad man) Give my life for my brother See I'm a bad mother SHUT YOUR MOUTH (I'm a bad man) Go on, go on, go on, go on...
