Bad Boyz (LP Version) Lyrics

Have you been watchin' the bad boyz
Hangin' around the schoolyard?Has anyone tried to figure out
How it is they got so
Bitter and hardDoes anyone have the faintest idea
How we gonna explain life to them
So farThey can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
And ready to make some noise
Like the bad boyzHave you been watchin' the hatred
Growing every dayHave you been watchin' the races
On each other's case
And all suspicious?Somebody's always
In your face
It's almost like bein' raped
You're so defencelessCan't hang out on the street
Can't hang out with the boyz
Unless you're packin' heat

Ready to make some noise
Like the bad boyzHope you get there in timeLose 'em all down the lineWay down yonder on the plantation
Today it's called the 'hood and everyone's restlessThey feel deserted and abandoned
They do the best they can
But life is ruthlessIf ya never did care about your neighbor
Cause their frightening behaviorGet through to yaDon't ya see they can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise
They're the bad boyzDon't ya see they can't hang out on the street
They can't hang out with the boyz
Unless they're packin' heat
Ready to make some noise
They're the bad boyz
