You deny it when you cannot face it
Try and hide it when you can't erase
No use fighting or trying to race it
It'll catch up to you like shadows
Too weak to stay in the light, too weak to do what is right for you
I would look into your eyes and girl can't you see I'm lying?
Cause I was a
Bad boy, bad boy
Not the Smith and Lawrence type, not the kind your mama likes
Bad boy, bad boy
Not the kind you want to be, this kind is the enemy
You enforce it when you're feeling shaky
Call her names you regret seconds later
Carried your own child and still no love for this here girl is shown
Carrying your heart, too dumb to see that she'll be out the door
Too weak to stay in the light, too weak to do what is right for you
I would look into your eyes and girl can't you see I'm lying?
Too weak to stay in the light, too weak to do what is right for you
I would look into your eyes and see what I'd done, you're crying
Cause I was a
Bad boy, bad boy
Not the Smith and Lawrence type, not the kind your mama likes
Bad boy, bad boy
Not the kind you want to be, this kind is the enemy
