. 🎵 Title: “Bad News in Corvallis” Tempo: 81 BPM | Key: A# Minor [Hook] I'm not what you want, and I'm not what you need, Everybody knows, you don't wanna f*** with me. ‘Cause I'm bad news — heart's been cold as ice, Yeah, I'm bad news — and I might cross the line. [Verse 1] They hate me in Corvallis, paint me out the villain, City hall decisions got the truth they keep conceal’n. Sleepin’ by the river, cold rain on my soul, Every glance another dagger, every whisper takes a toll. They don’t see the pain, just the label that they made, Tryna live humane, but they criminal my shade. Still I rise through the rumors, through the frost and the fear, You can’t cage what’s divine, I’m the ghost they revere. (4-bar beat break) [Hook] I'm not what you want, and I'm not what you need, Everybody knows, you don't wanna f*** with me. ‘Cause I'm bad news — heart's been cold as ice, Yeah, I'm bad news — and I might cross the line. [Verse 2] Court dates, citations, call it modern crucifixion, Preach compassion in they prayers but practice contradiction. Every cop light flashin’ feel like déjà vu, Same script, same lines, different shade of blue. I’m the sinner in they sermons, the lesson they distort, But I’m the reason they remember what the system fell short. So let ‘em hate me — I embody every truth they deny, A thunderstorm in the flesh — too real to pacify. (4-bar beat break) [Hook] I'm not what you want, and I'm not what you need, Everybody knows, you don't wanna f*** with me. ‘Cause I'm bad news — heart's been cold as ice, Yeah, I'm bad news — and I might cross the line. [Verse 3] From the alleys to the courthouse, I walk with defiance, Every scar on my skin’s an act of noncompliance. They said I’d fade — but I carved my name in the rain, Turned my trauma into gospel, my losses into gain. Now the whispers sound like warnings, every glare a prayer, If I’m bad news, it’s ‘cause good don’t live there. So yeah, they can judge me, but they can’t define, I’m the proof that redemption wears a jagged spine. [Final Hook — outro fade] I'm not what you want, and I'm not what you pplneed, Everybody knows, you don't wanna f*** with me. ‘Cause I'm bad news — heart's been cold as ice, Yeah, I'm bad news — and I might cross the line.
