Word to the Badd - Jermaine Jackson Song Lyrics
What up yo, word to the badd
Reconstructed
Been abducted
Don't know who you are
They may love you
they don't know you
Lonely superstar
never think about who you love
only think about number one
You forget about where you started from
You only think about what you want
don't care about how it's done
you only think about you,
your throne
Be it right
or be it wrong
It ain't about your world
It ain't about the things that you do
If you don't care,
I don't care
Cause you keep thinkin' 'bout you
It ain't about you takin' my spot
You been takin' for a long time
If you don't care,
I don't care
If you keep
Well I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
What up yo, word to the badd
Once you were made
You changed your shade
Was your color wrong?
Could not turn back
It's a known fact
You were too far gone
You know I tried to be there for you
Like a brother I care for you
It didn't matter you always play me off
You only care about what you want
You don't care about how it's done
You only think about you,
your throne
Be it right or wrong
It ain't about your world
It ain't about the things that you do
If you don't care,
I don't care
Cause you keep thinkin' 'bout you
It ain't about you takin' my spot
You been takin' for a long time
If you don't care,
I don't care
If you keep
Well I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
Oh no no, I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
Oh no
What up yo, word to the badd
Thinkin' about that spot that you've been takin' from me
From a brother to another brother hard to believe
Lost and don't know it yet you still show it
Givin' seems to be harder than it is to receive
The glass has gotten shady,
time to make it clearer,
Clean it up and lets start with the Man in the mirror.
Theres sadness there brother,
aint no mistaken it,
Get a grip cause youre not far from breakin it.
Thinkin about the time when we used to be close,
It shouldnt be past tense,
cause nobody knows,
What the future may hold,
what tomorrow might bring,
Its not guaranteed that youll be spreading your wings
But meanwhile,
I continue to smile,
cause in the back of my head,
I know you're still a child
You say that your a man,
but that will never be
Gone too far,
ya better turn back,
I know who you are
You know where Im at,
sad but its true,
from me to you.
Pick up the phone,
Dont be alone,
step off the throne,
come back home.
