You can kick me when I'm down
But don't you cry for me
With your tears of a clown
There's nothing you can say will ever hurt me
And once I get away you'll be dirt to me
I'm a badass
Just a badass
I'm bad, I'm bad
You can smack me in the face
You can scream at me and get on my case
But you can't penetrate my tough force field
You won't catch me crying or see me yield
I'm a badass
Just a badass
I'm bad, I'm bad
You can sock me square in the teeth
But you can't touch what is underneath
I have an armor as thick as lead
So go ahead and punch me in my big fat head
I'm a badass
Just a badass
I'm bad, I'm bad
