Biz Markie - Bad By Myself lyrics

rate me

Yeah yeah yeah

Oooooohh

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah yeah yeah

Let me tell you a story now

[Verse 1]

I was in front of the Apollo on Amateur Night

It was after the show, and the moon was right

The {?} was really perked off the Red Zone

I was in my MPV, I was all alone

A lot of out-of-town people askin me for

My John Hancock or my signature

I gave it to, all of them cause I was down to earth

And plus the Apollo is my home turf

So I walked across the street 'til I'm on, 125

I saw this pair of shoes that was really live

It wasn't just a pair of shoes, that was on her

From the ground up, she looked like a plate of lasagna

I said, "Hey shorty, not you, your hair"

She turned around slowly and started to stare

She said, "Why don'tcha take picture, it'll last a lil' longer?"

Me likin you grew a little bit stronger

She asked me what's my name I said, "Emmezah emmezah"

"The name that your momma gave ya is what I prefer"

She asked me what am I drivin, and how is my health

I know what you're really thinkin baby, LET ME TELL YOU!

[Chorus 1: Biz singing]

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I can do that alone

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I ain't tryin to be funny honey

[Verse 1]

She started arguin with me, and say she's not like that

I know who you are, I don't care if you're livin fat

Because I have a mother and father that take care of me

And I'm livin in Long Island with a J-O-B

Okay okay I got you wrong, I must admit

I'ma give you a little time to see if you're legit

So we started goin out on a regular basis

I was takin her to the movies and my hangout, places

Like the Q Club, The Scene, or The Arcade

I thought this relationship was tailor-made

Cause she was sweet kind considerate I, was hypnotized

Never thought she'd try to pull the wool, over my eyes

After I smacked it and flipped it, she thought I was whipped

I know she is like a knockout but I'm not gettin bullwhipped

She asked me why I am so stingy I know you got the ends

Because you got two MV's, two BM's, an SL Benz

What are you my accountant or the IRS?

Why ya clockin everything that I posess?

She want me to waste everything and be small as an elf

Let me tell you somethin baby, let me tell you

[Chorus 2: Biz singing]

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I can do that on my own

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I ain't tryin to be funny honey

[Verse 3]

Now all her friends boosted her, to get my dinero

Like if I was a drunk Mexican, wearin a sombrero

I knew she had a boyfriend on the side

She told me, yo, she didn't have to hide

She said she cut him because he was too jealous

He always thought I was tryin to talk to other fellas

It's now the present, and that was the past

From now on bein with me, is gonna be a blast

I know she thought in her mind, it's gonna be great

Juicin and reducin everything I make

With her Victoria's Secrets neglice

She tried to seduce me in every way

She would come out to Jersey rain sleet or snow

She acted too true blue to be after my dough

My man, Jeff told me but I didn't wanna listen

I was too hooked, and strung out, I thought he was dissin

Then she popped the question, and asked me for some dough

I looked her in her face and said, "HELL NO!!!"

You're a head nurse and you want my wealth?

You must be CRAZY AS HELL, cause

[Chorus 1]

[Biz singing]

Let me tell you know

All day long, you been talkin on the telephone

Braggin to all your friends, about all the cars that I own

But YOUUUUUU don't tell 'em, that I'm the one doin it all

While you're out there livin it up, and havin yo'self a ball

[Chorus 2]

[Biz singing]

Ummm, whoah-whoah, yeah-yeahhhh!

I can sing-ing-ing-ing..
