Just sit back, its plain to see
Open your eyes and trust in me

Steppin to the bad side(Dreamettes: Today)

[James Thunder Early]
Yea-ee-yea, Man just stole my woman from me
Took her down to Tennessee
She was the best girl I ever knew
If it wasnt for him, she'd still be true
I've always been a good man, its been said
Damnit, that man, he wish you were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Starting today Im gonna be bad, yeah, yeah, yeah
