Bad Bad News - Leon Bridges

Bad Bad News - Leon Bridges Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain’t got no riches, ain’t got no money that runs long
But I got a heart that’s strong and a love that’s tall
Ain’t got no name, ain’t got no fancy education
But I can see right through, a powdered face on a painted fool

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Let me slip through)
Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain't)
I’m just tryna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)
Let me come through (Let me come through)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just tryna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

[Verse 2]
I don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry about people in my face
I hit ‘em with the style and grace, and watch their ankles break
I know you wish, I know you wish I would fade away
But I got more to say, Lord they pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Let me slip through)
Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain't)
I’m just tryna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)
Let me come through (Let me come through)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just trynna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

[Post-Chorus]
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night

[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

[Instrumental Outro]
