Take it from me, don't be a do-badder up
Do-badder up, do bother to put your foot up
That ladder that leads you to that place
Below and every day you lose other you

Feel sadder, you get madder so use the other
Step ladder, you climb the other way
Scrapping and fighting, scratching and fighting
Cheating and acting, selfish makes your heart
Like a part of the hardest heart, so selfish

Take it from me, don't you be a do-badder up
A do-badder up, a do-badder up, just step up for that
Step ladder and climb the other way
