Growing up I was always mama's angel
Never new I'd ever fall from grace
I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways
I was proud to be in the bad news crowd
The one my mama warned me about
The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised
But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing
I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today
I?m proud of em all, and I had a ball
bending the rules and breaking the law
Verse: 2
We were bad about sneakin out and shootin road signs
Throwing eggs and rollin every yard in town
Yeah my claim to fame was a babe Ruth swing on a mailbox
Yeah the police just love driving me around
Chorus
Yeah you learn to walk the way you talk
The DUI means SOL
Respect was earned
You live and learn to pray
You learn to pray
We were proud to be in the bad news crowd
The one our mamas warned us about
The closest thing to hell they?ve ever raised
But when I look back on those days I know we'd never change a thing
Made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today
We?re proud of em all, yall. And we had a ball
