“Bad Kids” is a song by Lady Gaga off Born This Way.

There was an entire rapped verse taken off of the album version last minute due to the label and censorship ordeals. Gaga once claimed she would play the full version live but still has yet to do so.

The original lyrics were posted in the album’s booklet as followed:

“Cuff me up sir I’m mad
At the relationshop I got
Between my ass and your badge
I smoke but I’m not into candy no-class
Though there might be some illegal shit
In my meat dress, I’ve got guns,
up under my thumbs
Manicure is slick
You mad that my tips longer than your click?
Just a freedom hussy
Rebel fashion junkie
And I wanna serve my country
In the best way that I could be
So don’t ask ‘cause I’ll tell
you I’m free, while you dwell
Throw your hands up in the crowd
'Cause if you’re bad kid and you’re proud”
