(Hook)
They call me the bad guy, blood on the blade
Gold chain heavy with the empire I made
Cocaine castles, money in the safe
One life to live, so I’m taking what I crave
(Verse 1)
Came from the gutter, now I’m king of the block
Pistol on my hip and the barrel stay hot
Enemies plotting but they never gon’ last
I turn a small key, now the kingdom is vast
Scarred face, cold eyes, scars mark the climb
Every brick I flip turn to dollars and crime
You pray for forgiveness, I pray for more weight
Feed the beast hunger off another man’s plate
(Hook)
They call me the bad guy, blood on the blade
Gold chain heavy with the empire I made
Cocaine castles, money in the safe
One life to live, so I’m taking what I crave
(Verse 2)
Lines on the table like soldiers in a row
Trust no friend, every handshake’s a foe
Love don’t last when the money’s involved
Either ride or you die, there’s no problem unsolved
Nightclubs blaze with the smoke and the lights
One wrong word, I’ll erase you tonight
Paranoid visions, shadows in the glass
Even brothers turn snake when you stackin’ up cash
(Bridge)
World is mine, carved it out with the steel
I don’t pray to no God, I bow down to the deal
Every king has a crown dripping red from the fight
I walked through the fire and I came out alight
(Hook)
They call me the bad guy, blood on the blade
Gold chain heavy with the empire I made
Cocaine castles, money in the safe
One life to live, so I’m taking what I crave
(Outro)
So cheers to the villains, the devils, the throne
I built this empire with powder and chrome
No saints in my story, no angels to fly
Just a name in blood—Tony the bad guy
