Yeah… yeah…
Dem nuh real.
Watch how dem move.
(heavy 808 drop)
[Chorus]
Badmind friend dem a snake inna di grass
Smile inna mi face, dem a pray fi mi collapse
Mi a rise, dem a mad, dem a bitter dem a cuss
Put mi trust inna Jah, put mi opps inna dust
Badmind, badmind, badmind
Dem a move like dem love me but dem bad from morning time
Same ones weh mi feed, same one weh a grudge me
Now mi see dem face, mi just laugh, dem can’t touch me
Badmind… badmind…
[Verse 1]
(triplet flow — aggressive, rapid)
Mi grow wid dem, share mi last with dem
Now mi buss, dem seh dem never believe inna mi
Same one carry studio night inna the cold
Same one spread rumor seh mi nah go shine gold
But mi nah break, mi nah fold, mi just stack and elevate
Dem a count mi dollars while dem pocket underweight
Dem a watch mi moves like a camera, pan and zoom
While dem life standstill like a body inna a tomb
Nah call dem name, mi just cut dem off clean
Mi a build a empire, dem a build up dem spleen
Badmind a sickness, dem infected inna dem brain
Mi a take the whole game while dem stranded in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
(beat tightens, faster)
How dem badmind so? How dem cold so?
Feed dem when dem hungry, now dem bite, that’s how it goes
Dem a leech, dem a drain, dem a deadweight on mi soul
Keep the circle small, keep the fake ones far, let dem go
[Chorus]
Badmind friend dem a snake inna di grass
Smile inna mi face, dem a pray fi mi collapse
Mi a rise, dem a mad, dem a bitter dem a cuss
Put mi trust inna Jah, put mi opps inna dust
Badmind, badmind, badmind
Dem a move like dem love me but dem bad from morning time
Same ones weh mi feed, same one weh a grudge me
Now mi see dem face, mi just laugh, dem can’t touch me
Badmind… badmind…
[Verse 2]
(hardest trap flow — double-time, staccato)
Dem a plot, dem a scheme, dem a move like machine
Seh dem want mi win but dem pray fi mi lean
Mi a rise, dem a fall, dem a stare at the crown
Mi a build, dem a break, dem a drag it down
Talk dem talk but dem action don’t match
Seh dem ride but dem jump when the road get scratch
Same one drink mi liquor, same one nah glad for mi
Same one seh dem loyal, same one a stab on me
Badmind a disease, mi immune to the venom
Mi a rise to the top and mi nah take a column
Dem a noise in mi ear, mi a deaf to the static
Mi a win automatic, dem a fall — that’s a habit
Nuff a dem fake, nuff a dem fraud, nuff a dem soft
Tell a badmind friend step off, get lost
[Bridge]
(beat strips — 808 and vocal only, menacing)
I gave my heart to the wrong ones
Trusted the songs that they sung
But loyalty ain’t in their blood
Now mi circle small and mi circle don’t budge
Dem never love me from the start
Dem just play the part
Now mi see dem clear, dem a dead in the dark
Badmind break dem own heart…
[Verse 3 — Drop verse]
(full energy, ad-libs layered thick)
Mi nah stress over people weh nuh bless
Badmind a cancer, mi cut off the mess
Mi a move li
