I got mad (I got mad baby) Got so mad (I got a bad little baby) I got mad you can see that woman tryin' to beat the hell out of me Whoa yeah I got mad (I got a bad little baby) Got so mad (I got a bad little baby) I got mad (I got a bad little baby) I stay so mad (I got a bad little baby) I got mad you can see that woman tried to beat the hell out of me __________ Note: song appears on A.C.
