Bad Meaning Good - Drake, Beatchild

Lady, you say I stay in the house til four

We don’t even go out no more

Its always the same eh

Always complainin

Its obvious baby

I guess you don’t watch the news

You see theres a lot to lose

Cuz we got a baby

And people are shady

My generation is changin

Aside from the fact

The dealers have customers they provide with the crack

Front of the buses taken

And we deny it from the back

You can die where you from, or die where you at

Don’t put it past them

I don’t think that they understood

My friends they ain’t even sit in the class when they should

He can come pick you up

If your dads in the hood

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good

Lady, somebody shot up the place right by

Where I work and I think they might

Be coming for me next

Lend me ya kleenex

I’m tellin you baby

I think I’m a bout to cry

Still gotta go out tonight

Cuz I gotta feed you

I hope that I see you again… again

Hope that I see you, see you

Lately I don’t know about the friends that I hang with

I’m nervous round my boys, it depends on their anguish

Depends on if they saving all the tops on pepsi

With dreams of seeing girls topless on jet skis

Depends on what they do to achieve that

Robbing r&b singers, 'specially if they know where the keys at

'specially if they know where they girl live

Get the info, leave with ya money man, thats how the world is

Thats how niggas puttin they dirt down

Streets are seedy, I call em sesame

It’s Ernie and Bert’s town

'specially when these young’ns get turned down for work opportunities

Next week same place’ll get burnt down

Coincidink?

not likely not a chance

How can we be so aware of these problems and not advance?

At least start put a bid in, its hard just to fit in

A lot of people only play they part when they spittin

But I don’t think that they understood

They using this darkness for penetration in the hood

I took the ivory way in and yes I’m glad that keenan could

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good
