Murphy, Eddie - Steppin' To The Bad Side Lyrics






They stole our hit, I never thought
You got me to think for you now
I've tried to make good without much success
You've got me to think for you now
Every time I try for more, I wind up with less

You gotta put your soul on a moral break
Get to the point, you just gotta take

Steppin' to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride
The smile I had is gone away
Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side today

Steppin' to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh
The smile I had is gone away
Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side today

I tell you now, it's got to end
No more trustin' them, my friend
Change our style, change our tone
Make the songs we sing our own

Steppin' to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh

I got you all the breaks you need
In just two years, we'll be in the lead
Just sit back, it's plain to see
Open your eyes and trust in me

Steppin' to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh

I was a man who tried to be good
I was always misunderstood
I played fair, I played too meek
You gotta get way down and show your danger streak

Steppin' to the bad side, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gonna take a mean ride, ooh, ooh, ooh

Steppin'
Steppin'
Steppin'

Step, step, step, step
Steppin' to the bad side

Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side

Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side

I had to step into the bad side
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I had to take myself a mean ride
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, you know that smile I had is gone away
Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side today

Man just stole my woman from me
Her took her down to Tennessee
She was the best girl I ever knew
If it wasn't for him, she'd still be true

Always been a good man, it's been said
When I catch the man, he wish he were dead
Men like him make good men mad
Startin' today, I'm gonna be bad
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Steppin' to the bad side
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I had to take myself a mean ride
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, you know that smile I had is gone away
Those that steal are gonna pay
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side
Steppin' to the bad side today

Step, step to the bad side
Step, step to the bad side
Step, step to the bad side
Step, step to the bad side

Step, step to the bad side
Step, step
Gotta step to the bad side

  47. G.... E....

    i love dream girls the best movie all time

  48. J.... P....

    One of my favorite number in the movie. First Jennifer "And I'm telling you", second this scene and the third the final musical. <3

  49. �.... �....

    I here Anika's soprano part at 1:22 she killed that part yo.!! 👏👏👂

    �.... �....

    @jcr89 Rite.!!

    �.... �....

    From empire

    �.... �....

    Now I gotta start over

    �.... �....

    I ain't even notice she was there now I feel dumb I was lookin at Eddie n her from back ground

    �.... �....

    @Andro Betty No not from Empire. Lorell is the girl who dated Eddie Murphy in the movie. Her real name is Anika Noni Rose.

  50. M.... ....

    where the heck did they get tambourines??!

    M.... ....

    Myveryname23 editing I think the guys passed it to them

  51. O.... M....

    fgbj okay

  52. H.... H....

    God, Murphy sounded incredible in this movie.

    H.... H....

    +Holly Huffstutler I agree. His voice isn't smooth, it's real raspy and throaty. Real good for the kind of soul. Listen when he says 'a man jus' stole my women from me', he sounds so angry, and gritty. His voice is reminiscent of the 'Dramatics', and that sound of Detroits Motown pioneers.

    H.... H....

    he came READYY

  53. O.... T....

    it's even not in hd

  54. K.... J....

    Chemistry!!!! Get down Anika 1:33 - 1:38

  55. J.... G....

    How did they end up with tambourines all of a sudden?

    J.... G....

    It is the editing's power

    J.... G....

    Black Magic

    J.... G....

    I don't think we were supposed to notice that.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    J.... G....

    Movie magic not a conspiracy theory

    J.... G....

    Josh George I think the guys passed it to them we just didn't see it.

  56. D.... P....

    My favorite part of this number... when the three guys step to the middle and shake to that low key african beat at 1:41 LOL!!!!

    D.... P....

    Danie Po yes yes yes lol they was lit

    D.... P....

    They took it back to the motherland! 🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿

    D.... P....

    Danie Po I love this song

    D.... P....

    Danie Po thank you lol why I came to this and you made my life easier

  57. J.... L....

    My favorite number in this movie! Loved it. Eddie killed it.

    J.... L....

    Ikr? I admire his acting. But his singing litetally sends shiver all over 😄

    J.... L....

    Mine as well!

  58. C.... B....

    i love this song

  62. L.... C....

    I want one of those dresses...then I'd step on my OWN bad side...;0)

    L.... C....

    Lady Cham I know right?! 😃

  63. M.... P....

    They were all up in those tambourines like frfr!!! It made me wanna have one.

  64. K.... L....

    I love that song. Eddie Murpjy is to be commended.

  65. K.... ....

    Eddie should have won a best supporting actor Oscar for Dreamgirls. 

    K.... ....

    @Larry Wilson ive heard all that. At the end of the day,no matter what. The best performances should be rewarded

    K.... ....

    +KalimbaKid Agreed!

    K.... ....

    KalimbaKid he won at the Golden Globe awards

    K.... ....

    Yes He Should Have.

    K.... ....

    Raise your hand up if you actually understand why Mulan (1998) and Shrek (2001) didn’t get Eddie Murphy’s characters to sing. Both movies are great, but Eddie Murphy is an amazing af singer. So it’s questionable why they didn’t get more characters played by Eddie Murphy to sing.

  66. S.... W....

    Beyonce gettin it lol

    S.... W....

    Sharon White ikr

    S.... W....

    Sharon White I love this song so much

  72. B.... F....

    I've stepped into the bad side

  73. S.... ....

    it´s magic

  74. c.... ....

    They got them from the POWER OF MUSICAL THEATRE

  75. L.... A....

    they did a few different takes and edit it in you can tell if you watch it closely lol

  76. d.... ....

    This would be considered "Old School" R & B, circa the Motown Era

  77. s.... s....

    This song is awesome phenomonal performance!

  78. J.... J....

    I cant wait,til we do this musical at school :)
