Now You Know by. Bry’

Crowd Chant Intro

Bad example? Say it louder

Bad example? I heard you

Verse 1

Mama taught me keep my head up keep my shoes clean

Sunday dress pressed sharp gold hoops on the seam

Now I work all week then I dance all night

somehow that makes folks nervous when I catch the light

Got a new red dress and a late-night laugh

got a full little life they don't know the half

They say Bri slow down good girls stay sweet

I say good girls got bills and a bassline beat

I don't need no sermon from a man at the bar

who calls me trouble then asks where I are

I pay my own tab I make my own plans

if that's a bad example baby tell all your friends

Chorus

I'm a bad example look at me go

heels on the floor got the whole room low

Too loud too proud too much for your taste

I don't shrink myself just to fit your space

I'm a bad example that's what they say

then they copy my walk on the very next day

If freedom look wrong in your little rulebook

baby turn the page go on and take a good look

Verse 2

My auntie sees my pictures says Child is that you

I say yes ma'am same heart just a better view

I still call home when the city gets mean

still keep a scripture folded in the pocket of my jeans

But I won't fake small to make the neighbours feel tall

won't trade my fire for a seat by the wall

Got my girls in the back with the windows down

singing every word when we ride through town

You can clutch your pearls you can talk that talk

I'm still gonna swing my hips when I take that walk

Ain't no crime in loving the woman I became

if I make you uncomfortable remember my name

Pre-Chorus

(Too loud) too loud for you

(Too proud) too proud for who

(Too much) too much to bear

I'm right here

Chorus

I'm a bad example look at me go

heels on the floor got the whole room low

Too loud too proud too much for your taste

I don't shrink myself just to fit your space

I'm a bad example that's what they say

then they copy my walk on the very next day

If freedom look wrong in your little rulebook

baby turn the page go on and take a good look

Bridge

I can pray with my hands up high

then wear red and own the night

I can love my people love my skin

make my own rules and still walk in

Call it bad call it what you please

I call it breathing easy

Chorus

I'm a bad example look at me go

heels on the floor got the whole room low

Too loud too proud too much for your taste

I don't shrink myself just to fit your space

I'm a bad example that's what they say

then they copy my walk on the very next day

If freedom look wrong in your little rulebook

baby turn the page go on and take a good look

Outro

Bad example look at me go

Bad example now you know

Bad example now you know
