I want dough I said, yeah I'd taken the cat in Get him a place to stay And I found out He goin' around town Telling everybody that he He got my wife, heh And I gets man I goes to the cat Like a good guy should I said look man I'm gonna warn you Just one time Next time I warn you I'mma use my gun 'Cause I'm mad, I'm bad, like Jesse James [Verse 1] I'm so mad, I'm so mad! I'm gonna run you this morning I got three boys Do my dirty work Now you don't see me On the big balls I do the [pay, now?] After they take care of you In their own way They may shoot you They may cut you They may drown you I just don't know I don't care! As long as they take care of you In their own way [Verse 2] I'm so mad, I'm bad, this mornin', like Jesse James They're gonna take you right down By the riverside Now four is goin' down And only three coming back You read between the lines What's gonna happen to you [Verse 3] 'Cause I'm mad, I'm bad, like Jesse James They gonna tie your hands They gonna tie your feet They gonna gag your throat Where you can't holla none And crying won't help you none They gonna send you in the water Got the bubbles coming up Ooo!
