Lyrics for Bad Influence

Just pull the plug! People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already fucked I'm just adding to it They say I'm suicidal, teenager's Come on, do as I do Go head, get mad and do it People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already boom I'm just adding to it They say I'm suicidal, teenager's Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it Hand me an eight Beat me up and land me in space I'mma sit on top of the world Scarier than a white journalist Than a room at Lauryn Hill Human horror film But with a lot funnier plot And people will film me Cause I'mma still be the mad rapper Whether I got money or not As long as I'm on it I got plenty of booze I'll be in a canoe paddling Making fun of your yacht But I would like an award For the best rapper To get one mic and a source And a wardrobe I can afford Otherwise I might send up Backstriking at Ford And you wonder what the f*** I need more f***ing for Everybody's pissing me off Even the No Limit Tank Looks like a middle finger Sideways flipping me off No f*** I'm a grave danger To my health Why else f*** you Jump in a grave And bury myself People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it I'm the illest rapper Of all the corners Patrolling corners What? Of all the quarters I'm meaner in action Than Roscoe James Todd Sr Across the back With vacuum cleaner attachments I grew up in a wild hood As a hazardous youth With a f***ed up childhood That I used as an excuse And they f***ing changed I kept the same mind state Since the third time That I failed ninth grade You probably think That I'm a negative person Don't be so sure of it I don't f*** I just encourage it I laugh at the sight of f*** As I fall down As I make blighted steps And land inside A bed of spiderwebs So throw caution to the wind You and a friend Can f*** a bridge And if you live Do it again Why not? If you only live once You might as well f*** Cause people say That I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it What? What? What? What? What? What? I'm not a role model I don't want to pay These sick kids I got one little girl And Haley J Did Shady's business And Shady's just an alias I made to make you pissed off Where the f*** Were you and Gil Was paid to make me dishwashed I make a couple statements And now look how crazy s*** I got You made me get a bigger attitude Than A.D. Kim Scott And she almost got The same fate That Grady's s*** got I knew that just the two of us Had made you hate me this much And just the two of us Had ain't got s*** To do with us In our personal life It's just words on a mic So you can call me A punk pervert Or a chauvinist pig But the funny s*** is That I still go with The f***ing mother f***er People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it Just let it go People say that I'm a bad influence I say the world's already f***ed I'm just adding to it They say I'm f***ed Teenage is suicidal Come on, do as I do Go ahead, get mad and do it Just do it
