[Verse 1]
Your butt is mine, gonna tell you right, ah
Just show your face in broad daylight, ah
I'm tellin' you on how I feel, ah
Gonna hurt your mind, don't shoot to kill
Shamone, ah, shamone
Lay it on me, ah, all right
Ah, I'm givin' you on count of three, ah
Just show your stuff or let it be, ah
I'm tellin' you, just watch your mouth, ah
I know your game, what you're about

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, they say the sky's the limit
And to me, that's really true, ah
But my friend, you have say nothing
Just wait 'til I get through!

[Chorus]
Because I'm bad, I'm bad! Shamone! (Bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad (Bad, bad)
You know it! (Really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad! Shamone! (Bad, bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again: Who's bad?

The word is out, you're doin' wrong, ah
Gonna lock you up before too long, ah
Your lyin' eyes gon'na tell you right (ah ah)
So listen up, don't make a fight (ah ah)
Your talk is cheap, you're not a man, ah
You're throwin' stones to hide your hands

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And to me, that's really true, ah
But my friend, you have say nothing
Just wait 'til I get through!

We can change the world tomorrow
This could be a better place, ah
If you don't like what I'm sayin'
Then won't you slap my face?!

You know I'm bad, I'm bad! (Bad, bad)
You know it, you know! (Really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again: Who's bad?

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
