Bad Boys Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh!
Bad boys!
What you want? What you want?
What you gonna do
When Sheriff John Brown come for you?
Tell me, what you wanna do? What you gonna do?
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?

[Verse 1]
When you were eight and you had bad traits
You go to school and learn the golden rule
So why are you acting like a bloody fool?
If you get hot, then you must get cool!

[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?

[Bridge]
You chuck it on that one, you chuck it on this one
You chuck it on your mother and you chuck it on your father
You chuck it on your brother and you chuck it on your sister
You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me!

[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?

[Verse 2]
Nobody naw give you no break
Police naw give you no break
Not a soldier mona give you no break
Not even you idren naw give you no break
Heeey!

[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Why did you have to act so mean?
Don't you know you're human being?
Born of a mother with the love of a father
Reflection comes and reflection goes
I know sometimes you want to let go
Hey, hey, hey!
I know sometimes you want to let go

[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
(You're too bad, you're too rude)
(You're too bad, you're too rude, yeah)
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?

Genius Annotation

Inner Circle’s hit song “Bad Boys” was popularized when a producer selected it as the theme for the television show Cops because he was a fan of the group. It was also used in and lent the name to the Bad Boys series of movies. While the hook may be shouted by “bad boys” everywhere, the song is actually against drugs and crime and the lifestyle they bring. Because of its association with Cops, it is commonly misinterpreted as being pro-police.

The Cops association is so strong, that it has been used in parody countless times.
