Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired behind Justine Skye's "Bandit" single.
I (Lambeau) wanted to create a "bad girl" record with a big sound; with R&B and Pop influences.
Lyrically we (Samaria B. and myself) wanted to bring out similar ideas in "Bandit" while creating something new. Samaria handled most of the writing; while I added the bridge and tweaked melody ideas.

Lyrics
Bad Side
VERSE 1
Ima good girl
I dont say much..
I like to sit and observe...Just watch
Like Hyde and Doctor Jekyll..
On another level
Like a snipe
On the roof
Got my gun I aim to shoot...
But only if you test me
I swear I swear that you cannot "best" me
Im like all your wildest dreams, come true
One wrong move
You'll get my jagged side.
I'm like a live wire
I'm like that loose tire
Wrong turn, wrong trun
Another lesson learned
Don't try me
Say your prayers at night that you don't get my bad side
Bridge
What I need from you is to treat me good, cause you don't wanna see my bad side, my bad side (All up in yo face like this)
Hook
Mean mugging, always stay thuggin.
Everybody get to running cause they see me coming
Bad side, you don't want my bad side.
I keep the piece (peace)
Right next to my left side
Bad side, you don't want this bad side.
I keep the piece (peace)
Right next to my left side
Click clack, bang bang
You know I'ma do my thang
Everybody running everybody ducking
Hide and go seek, and you can't peek
You cant see me, can't be me
I'm always at the top
These bitches want my spot
VERSE 2
I'm a peaceful person
I don't want the drama
I'm just try'na get it,
All about the commas
Cause number don't lie though
But you looking kind'a spiteful
You've got envy in your eyes
Watch out baby girl,
Cause you're turning green inside
That's a nasty look
I'm not gonna lie
You've got that jealous stare
I'm catching your bad vibes
Ima need you to stop staring
Cause yo' side ways looks got me preparing
Like you wanna see my bad side.
Try.
Bridge
What I need from you is to treat me good,
Cause you don't wanna see my bad side
My bad side (All up in yo face like this)
Hook
Mean mugging, always stay thuggin.
Everybody get to running cause they see me coming
Bad side, you don't want my bad side.
I keep the piece (peace)
Right next to my left side
Bad side, you don't want this bad side.
I keep the piece (peace)
Right next to my left side
Click clack, bang bang
You know I'ma do my thang
