[Intro]
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat

[Verse 1]
Push and pull, yes and no, every different way
Momma said "Stay away from the drama, babe"
She don't know anything that I'm 'bout to say
Ari was right, no tears left to cry, yeah
Wait a minute, I never wanted anything
Just to sing my heart out, you can keep the ring
I know that I got a bit carried away
Trying my best to move from the past, yeah

[Chorus]
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat
[Verse 2]
Put that holy water right across your face
Guess you're free, guess you're proud, guess you're new again
But when the shit goes bad, who you gonna blame?
Serenity's not as fun as you thought, nah
I'll be the poster boy for all things negative
They look away because they got something new to click
Well, if I'm the villain
Lord knows I better be the best at it

[Chorus]
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat

[Spoken]
You want to tear my name
Fine, well, say it
'Cause it doesn't matter what the fuck it is
They're gonna believe it
I don't know, that's just weird
That my name is out right now
I've made a lot of bad choices
Not necessarily, like
You know, the worst mistakes
But there's definitely been
A lot, a lot, a lot of bad choices
[Chorus]
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat
I'ma be a bad guy if you need it
I'm a dead man down for a reason
If you're in some trouble and you need a rope
Go ahead, I'll be your scapegoat
