Badmind

Yeah… yeah…

Dem nuh real.

Watch how dem move.

(heavy 808 drop)

Badmind friend dem a snake inna di grass

Smile inna mi face, dem a pray fi mi collapse

Mi a rise, dem a mad, dem a bitter dem a cuss

Put mi trust inna Jah, put mi opps inna dust

Badmind, badmind, badmind

Dem a move like dem love me but dem bad from morning time

Same ones weh mi feed, same one weh a grudge me

Now mi see dem face, mi just laugh, dem can’t touch me

Badmind… badmind…

(triplet flow — aggressive, rapid)

Mi grow wid dem, share mi last with dem

Now mi buss, dem seh dem never believe inna mi

Same one carry studio night inna the cold

Same one spread rumor seh mi nah go shine gold

But mi nah break, mi nah fold, mi just stack and elevate

Dem a count mi dollars while dem pocket underweight

Dem a watch mi moves like a camera, pan and zoom

While dem life standstill like a body inna a tomb

Nah call dem name, mi just cut dem off clean

Mi a build a empire, dem a build up dem spleen

Badmind a sickness, dem infected inna dem brain

Mi a take the whole game while dem stranded in the rain

(beat tightens, faster)

How dem badmind so? How dem cold so?

Feed dem when dem hungry, now dem bite, that’s how it goes

Dem a leech, dem a drain, dem a deadweight on mi soul

Keep the circle small, keep the fake ones far, let dem go

Badmind friend dem a snake inna di grass

Smile inna mi face, dem a pray fi mi collapse

Mi a rise, dem a mad, dem a bitter dem a cuss

Put mi trust inna Jah, put mi opps inna dust

Badmind, badmind, badmind

Dem a move like dem love me but dem bad from morning time

Same ones weh mi feed, same one weh a grudge me

Now mi see dem face, mi just laugh, dem can’t touch me

Badmind… badmind…

(hardest trap flow — double-time, staccato)

Dem a plot, dem a scheme, dem a move like machine

Seh dem want mi win but dem pray fi mi lean

Mi a rise, dem a fall, dem a stare at the crown

Mi a build, dem a break, dem a drag it down

Talk dem talk but dem action don’t match

Seh dem ride but dem jump when the road get scratch

Same one drink mi liquor, same one nah glad for mi

Same one seh dem loyal, same one a stab on me

Badmind a disease, mi immune to the venom

Mi a rise to the top and mi nah take a column

Dem a noise in mi ear, mi a deaf to the static

Mi a win automatic, dem a fall — that’s a habit

Nuff a dem fake, nuff a dem fraud, nuff a dem soft

Tell a badmind friend step off, get lost

(beat strips — 808 and vocal only, menacing)

I gave my heart to the wrong ones

Trusted the songs that they sung

But loyalty ain’t in their blood

Now mi circle small and mi circle don’t budge

Dem never love me from the start

Dem just play the part

Now mi see dem clear, dem a dead in the dark

Badmind break dem own heart…

(full energy, ad-libs layered thick)

Mi nah stress over people weh nuh bless

Badmind a cancer, mi cut off the mess

Mi a move li
