I need you to hear this loud and clear
The line in the sand is drawn and I have no fear
When I see red all I need is a reason to set me off
To drop this bomb and pick yourself off the ground

'Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
'Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
You just crossed my path and I'll drop you fast

'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
A badass

Don't take this past the point of no return
You don't want this kind of lesson learned
When I see red all I need is a reason to throw it down
To take you out and you will have no doubt

'Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
'Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
You just crossed my path and I'll drop you fast

'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
A badass

I'm going to walk away from this
And let it die than let it last
Your pushing me telling me to change my soul
And I'm gonna leave your body black and blue now

'Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
'Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
You just crossed my path and I'll drop you fast

'Cause I'm a badass
A gun ready to blast
It's the wild, wild west and I'm fast as fast
'Cause I'm a badass
I'll put your face in the grass
Don't test me boy 'cause I'll drop you fast

'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
'Cause I'm a badass
Take your best shot
All you got
Good luck 'cause I'm a badass

'Cause I'm a badass
A badass
