Scapegoat (The Bad Guy)

You can blame me for your father being verbally abusive
Why you do not love yourself and why you're burdened with these bruises
Why you do not feel pretty, why they loved you sisters more
I'm the reason as to why your self-esteem hit the floor
The reason you could never satisfy your mother
And why you feel the need to please and heed others
You can blame me when you make a mistake
And I will be that nigga that chu hate and forsake
I'm your ugly-duckling syndrome and your painful regrets
That chu drink in an unsuccessful effort to forget
I'm your woes, I'm your shame, your indignities
You need an aim for the blame, you can signal me
Treat me like the root of all the fear in your heart
I mean it absolutely, I sincerely remark
Blame me for every rant that chu can't recant
And every time when you squandered what was clearly a chance

Need a bad guy, I'll be your bad guy
Even if I wasn't the one you was made mad by
If you're looking for punching bag, afford me the opportunity of something bad

Need a bad guy, I'll be your bad guy
Even if I wasn't the one you was made mad by
If you're looking for punching bag, afford me the opportunity of something bad

I'm the reason why you feel you cannot be who you wanna be
Love who you wanna love and see who you wanna see
I'm every skeleton loitering in your closet
And the constant reminder of when you fail to use you logic
Why society treated you like its nappy-headed stepchild
So I'll be ready for your stones and projectiles
Like an angry mob from the Old Testament
I'm your pestilence, mar me your excrement
I will bleed for every menstrual cycle in which you've endured without reprisal
Blame me for every one of your personal failures
And when you ignored the signs a person tried to tell ya
'Cause I derailed ya, convince yourself with that
Commence the offense, with no defense I will not hit back
Blame me for perceived inabilities
And when you refuse to take personal responsibility

Need a bad guy, I'll be your bad guy
Even if I wasn't the one you was made mad by
If you're looking for punching bag, afford me the opportunity of something bad

Need a bad guy, I'll be your bad guy
Even if I wasn't the one you was made mad by
If you're looking for punching bag, afford me the opportunity of something bad

Something bad
Something bad

I have known pain all the same but I've never took it
Out upon you, or tried to wrong you
You reap what you sow, I only speak what I know and you can
Never, ever say I tried to harm you

I have known pain all the same but I've never took it
Out upon you, or tried to wrong you
You reap what you sow, I only speak what I know and you can
Never, ever say I tried to wrong you

Never, ever say I tried to harm you
Never, ever say I tried to wrong you

Never, ever say I tried to harm you
Never, ever say I tried to wrong you

Never, ever say I tried to harm you
Never, ever say I tried to wrong you
