Bad Man Ways
Without sugarcoating it… this is a song about the “Sigma” mindset. As much as I did not buy into the idea of Alpha Male etc., certain people kept assuming the roles. Sometimes it would be based on leadership. Sometimes it would be based solely on ego, and to my amazement, people would still defer to them. I drew the conclusion that “POWER” is little more than unchecked audacity.
What I have found is that all human beings need to take turn being “Alpha”, based on the required expertise of the moment. In emergency situations you don’t go searching for the nearest “Alpha Male”. You look for qualified help. Even as a supervisor: Instead of always being “in charge”, be willing to shut the FK up and learn something, when you’re out of your depth. Spend a lot of time alone developing yourself so that you can protect loved ones, and contribute meaningfully whenever you’re in a group.
This makes you a more complete person overall. Suddenly life is not a competition. It’s harmony with all of creation.
Badman Ways was produced by Jayhaan, a Mumbai based DJ and priest. The track combines the sounds of India’s street parties with the rhythm of Brazilian favelas. “Hindi Baile Funk” is a new cultural phenomenon in and of itself. As it surfaces throughout pop culture crowds either respond with enthusiasm or the curiosity stops them in their tracks. For my contribution, I have always loved being on the cutting edge of things before they fully “happen”. The journey continues.

::: Bad Man Ways Lyrics :::
Bad man ways
from back inna days
Before you could utter the phrases
Rudebwoy craze?
I wrote every word
In all a di books on the pages
Black God
Singing that devil music
Black Card
money me get is legit
As long as you let
these heathen dem get
Their messages out it’s contagious
Distant shores, giving you more
The Riddim a ride and kick in the doors
Out-pon tour, Good energy reign
The king of the game with gyal dem galore
And just to be sure we’re giving the order
Kill every sound whe cross the border
Original rude boy style update hitting you harder
Lord have mercy
Most of these niggas are bitches
They just need the surgery
They relish in doing you dirty
Down home blues
for all of The Schools
The Old and The New, They’re low brow
No more rules
you pick and you choose
the shit is just out of control now
Knife Life
Chasing their innocence out
White Lines
Maybe that’s what it’s about
Run up your mouth
it gets you no clout
these days peace
to the world, be praised
In the meantime, read the street signs that the murderous beast designed
The diseased minds who conceive crimes
And think they can leave all their troubles behind
Rise up watch how we shine up
Line up Hustle and grind up
Find us fighting the way they define us trying to malign us
Lord have mercy
Gyal dem a wind up dem waist
I’m feeling so thirsty
I’m stopping the clock for the worthy
