Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm bad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
I had a friend one time
Least I thought I did
He come to me
Said Johnny
Said, what man?
I'm out do'
And I said, yeah?
I taken the cat in
Get him a place to stay
And I found out
He goin' around town
Tellin' everybody that he
He got my wife
[Verse 3]
Then I gets mad
I goes to the cat
Like a good guy should
I said, look man
I'm gonna warn you
Just one time
Next time I warn you
I'm gonna use my gun
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James
I'm so mad
I'm so mad
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna run you this mornin'
I got three boys
Do my dirty work
Now you don't see me
I'm the big boss
I do the payin' off
After they take care of you
In their own way
They may shoot you
They may cut you
They may drown you
I just don't know
I don't care
As long as they take care of you
In their own way
[Verse 6]
I'm so mad
I'm bad this mornin'
Like Jesse James
They gonna take you right down
By the river side
Now four is goin' down
Ain't but three comin' back
If you read between the lines
What gonna happen to you
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm mad
I'm bad
Like Jesse James
[Verse 8]
They gonna tie your hands
They gonna tie your feet
They gonna gag your throat
Where ya can't holla none
And cryin' won't help you none
Gon' sink ya in the water
Yeah, the bubbles comin' up
[Verse 9]
Ooh
Rrrr
Rrrr
