Born Bad lyrics

That's 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 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 I've been down Yeah, I've spent some time downtown I've covered sacred ground Soft and slow and round I gave up Yeah, I learned to give it up Thinkin' that's the final cut But it turns out I was wrong Born bad That's 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 wasn't enough I had to choke my conscience off I've 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 That's stuck in third Just smokes and burns Born bad With a cig-hangin' lip A talk-back baby on a Star-crossed ship
