[intro]
hey, good god!

[verse 1]
homeboys on the street, listen to what i say
you walk around and say you’re bad
and try to do it my way
but here i am, the man who started all, and i’m glad
’cause i’m number 1, original, i know i’m bad
all you perpetrators, bitin’ me so hard
steal my rhythm and my style
and you think you’re god
but i’m your teacher, ow! i’m as good as gold
check out brother brown + i invented soul

[chorus 2]
i’m real, i’m real
i’m the real super bad
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have
i’m real, i’m the real super bad
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have, uh!

[post+chorus]
que pasa, que+que+que pasa
que pasa, people, que pasa, hit me!

[verse 2]
all you people think you got pull
ya better take my voice off your records
till i’m paid in full
you say you learned from me
stoned to the bone (stoned to the bone)
but then you take my arms and my legs
and try to call it your own (word!)
gimme what i’m due + listen, boys and girls
i know i’m nice, i’m so real (so def)
this is my world (my world)

[chorus 1]
all you copy cats out there, get off my tip
’cause i’m james brown with the full
(full force!) i ain’t taking no lip
(i ain’t taking no, real…)

[chorus 2]
i’m real, i’m real
i’m the real super bad (super bad)
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have (i ain’t taking no, real…)
i’m real, i’m the real super bad (super bad)
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have, uh!

[bridge]

full force, get busy one time

[verse 3]
knocking down the doors (one more, do it!), in the place to be
i’m feeling funky hard now, baby + you know the deal
(i’m real) hey, working a cold sweat
ooh, come on y’all, do the camel walk
and get the hump out cha back, hit me!
get busy, yeah + make it funky (make it funky!)
hit me, get on the good foot (get on the good foot)
hit me, get up (get on up)
two times, papa’s got a brand new bag

[chorus 2/outro]
i’m real, i’m real
i’m the real super bad
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have (i ain’t taking no, real…)
i’m real, i’m real
i’m real super bad (super bad)
and ain’t n0body out there good enough
to take the things i have
i’m real, i’m real…
