B*tch Bad - Lupe Fiasco

[00:10.2]Yeah
[00:12.51]I say bitch bad, woman good, lady better
[00:18.43]Hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:24.86]Now imagine there's a shawty, maybe five maybe four
[00:27.92]Ridin' 'round with his mama listening to the radio
[00:30.91]And a song comes on and a not far off from being born
[00:34.41]Doesn't know the difference between right and wrong
[00:37.34]I Now ain't trying to make it too complex
[00:40.12]But let's just say shawty has an undeveloped context
[00:42.3]About the perception of women these days
[00:46.53]His mama sings along and this what she says
[00:49.65]"Niggas I'm a bad bitch, and I'm bad bitch
[00:53.27]Far above average"
[00:55.78]And maybe other rhyming words like cabbage and savage
[00:58.65]And baby carriage and other things that match it
[01:02.1]Couple of things that are happenin' here
[01:03.48]First he's relatin' the word "bitch" with his mama, comma
[01:07.42]And because she's relatin' to herself,
[01:09.479996]His most important source of help, And mental health,
[01:12.020004]He may skew respect for dishonor
[01:15.020004]Bitch bad, woman good
[01:18.01]Lady better, they misunderstood
[01:24.83](I'm killin' these bitches)
[01:26.33]Uh, tell 'em
[01:27.520004]Bitch bad, woman good
[01:30.32]Lady better, they misunderstood
[01:33.82]They misunderstood
[01:36.94](I'm killin' these bitches)
[01:38.84]Yeah, now imagine a group of little girls nine through twelve
[01:41.270004]On the internet watchin' videos listenin' to songs by themselves
[01:45.07]It doesn't really matter if they have parental clearance
[01:47.19]They understand the internet better than their parents
[01:51.15]Now being the interent, the content's probably uncensored
[01:54.020004]They're young, so they're maleable and probably unmentored
[01:57.270004]A complicated combination, maybe with no relevance
[02:00.39]Until that intelligence meets their favorite singer's preference
[02:02.64]"Bad bitches, bad bitches, bad bitches
[02:06.2]That's all I want and all I like in life is bad bitches, bad bitches"
[02:09.63]Now let's say that they less concerned with him
[02:12.44]And more with the video girl acquiescent to his whims
[02:15.93]Ah, the plot thickens
[02:18.8]High heels, long hair, fat booty, slim
[02:22.11]Reality check, I'm not trippin'
[02:24.92]They don't see a paid actress, just what makes a bad bitch
[02:28.54001]Bitch bad, woman good
[02:31.79001]Lady better, they misunderstood
[02:38.0]I say I say I say.......
[02:41.56]Bitch bad, woman good
[02:44.18]Lady better, they misunderstood
[02:50.85](I'm killin' these bitches)
[02:52.66]Disclaimer: This rhymer, Lupe's not usin' bitch as a lesson
[02:57.24]But as a psychological weapon
[02:58.68]To set in your mind and really mess with your conceptions
[03:01.73]Discretions, reflections, it's clever misdirection
[03:04.04]Cause, while I was rappin' they was growin' up fast
[03:08.72]Nobody stepped in to ever slow 'em up, gasp
[03:11.72]Sure enough, in this little world
[03:14.03]The little boy meets one of those little girls
[03:17.08]And he thinks she a bad bitch and she thinks she a bad bitch
[03:20.33]He thinks disrespectfully, she thinks of that sexually
[03:23.22]She got the wrong idea, he don't wanna f**k her
[03:26.45999]He thinks she's bad at being a bitch like his mother
[03:29.45999]Momma never dress like that, come out the house, hot mess like that
[03:32.45]Ass, titties, dress like that
[03:33.51]All out to impress like that
[03:35.14]Just like that, you see the fruit of the confusion
[03:38.88]He caught in a reality, she caught in an illusion
[03:41.75]Bad mean good to her, she really nice and smart
[03:44.93]But bad mean bad to him, bitch don't play your part
[03:47.93]But bitch still bad to her if you say it the wrong way
[03:50.86]But she think she a bitch, what a double entendre
[03:55.09]Bitch bad, woman good
[03:57.9]Lady better, they misunderstood
[04:04.52]I I say say I say I say I say
[04:07.86]Bitch bad, woman good
[04:10.23]Lady better, they misunderstood
[04:17.09](I'm killin' these bitches)
[04:19.71]Bitch bad, woman good
[04:22.64]Lady better, they misunderstood
[04:28.13]You're misunderstood
[04:29.18](I'm killin' these bitches)
[04:32.18]Bitch bad, woman good
[04:34.8]Lady better, greatest motherhood
[04:41.6](I'm killin' these bitches)
