Bad Boys

Alright ladies, what you gon do when they come for you?

He said, “Hey Cutie,” that’s all she heard
And he made her smile with just those two words
What is it about you Bad Boy that got her so hooked? 
What is it about you, is it the way that you look?
Is it yo style, yo flow, is it yo smile or yo swag?
Is it the fact that you can buy her that expensive Birkin bag?

She want a drug dealer, a hood boy, yeah she like the gangster
She don’t want no nice, quiet, nerdy boy, nobody wants a wangster
She want the one that’s rough, all tattooed, a lil rowdy
The one with the saggy pants that’ll pull a trigger, no doubt about it

She want the one that’s tough with the words he say
And even if he abuse her, she’ll just look the other way 
Oh he said he sorry, it won’t happen no mo
He said that as he watched the blood from her head just flow

Some women protect the Bad Boys and that’s definitely a fact
And even though he beat her azz, she still got his back
She go to the hospital beat, bruised and abused
And cover up for him cause he said he gon take her on a cruise

Her man love her, she said this love never gon end
He bought her a car, plus give her plenty money to spend
She like shopping in the mall with the Gucci, Fendi, Prada
He just sitting back shaking his head saying, “Yes indeed, I got her”
Got her wrapped ‘round my finger, she ain’t going no where
Hey bae, you by Willie? Yeah,” but yall know I ain’t over there 
I’m by Kim, my other lil Boo
I go by her and break her off too

My girl love a Bad Boy, she just don’t know why
A Bad Boy to her, she think they ooh so fly

Bad Boy go to jail, one wrong move that’s all it took
Now she going get a lawyer, putting money on his book
After 5 years he out and she think he gon do right, 
Girl please, yo man ain’t even come home last night 

The material things sometimes they come with a price
But nothing is that valuable that’s worth risking yo life

The whole purpose of this message is to get you to understand 
You don’t have to settle for less just to say you got a man
Don’t lower your standards, don’t be no thirsty thot
Stop loving on these Bad Boys giving them all that you got

You are a Queen, yo King is out there
He’ll find you and give you that ring
For the Bible says, “He who finds a wife, finds a good thing”
Stop seeking love and wanting to be loved by the “flyest”
You are already loved my Queen, yes loved by the “Most Highest”
