Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Street soldier patrol the pavement
Gotta watch my step when I'm outside the ends late at night
Can't get caught slipping 'cause I might start tripping
Don't wanna be a victim dialing 999 (999, 999)
But I don't deal with Babylon, dem I got a problem
Call up the man dem to come and rectify
See me, I'm a roots-man so more time
I don't have a problem stepping on another man's roadside
[Verse 2]
I'm a badman anyway, so don't watch me now
(So don't watch me now)
I'm a badman anyway, this is my sound
(This is my sound)
[Verse 3]
Keep rolling the high grade
Gotta maintain a higher plain
When I speak my mind like Sellassie, I
Don't know when I'm a see him next
So I stay blessed sticking to philosophy of Jah Rastafari (Jah Rastafari)
But I'm on the roads tonight
Gotta go on road tonight, hold it down say I
Gotta watch for dem spies
When the sun comes up I'll be making my way downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
[Verse 4]
I'm a badman anyway, so don't watch me now
(So don't watch me now)
I'm a badman anyway, this is my sound
(This is my sound)
[Verse 5]
Every man wanna be a badman
Walk around town bucki in the hand
But what type of foolishness man?
What type of foolishness man?
Real badman play their own role
Walk the way they talk and stay true to their soul
Don't follow code, don't follow code
No, don't follow, don't follow no man's code
No, don't follow, I don't follow
Don't follow no man's code
[Verse 6]
Ba-day-ba-day-da, ba-day-ba-day ba-day-ba-day ba-da-ba-day-da
Badman, hey, badman, hey, badman, hey
Ba-day-ba-day-da, ba-day-ba-day ba-day-ba-day ba-da-ba-day-da
Badman, hey, badman, hey, badman, hey
Ba-day-ba-day-da, ba-day-ba-day ba-day-ba-day ba-da-ba-day-da
Badman, hey, badman, hey, badman, hey
Ba-day-ba-day-da, ba-day-ba-day ba-day-ba-day ba-da-ba-day-da
Badman, hey, badman, hey, badman, hey
[Verse 7]
I'm a badman anyway, so don't watch me now
(So don't watch me now)
I'm a badman anyway, this is my sound
(This is my sound)
I'm a badman anyway, this is my town
(This is my town, yeah)
I'm a badman anyway, so don't watch me now
