Rewrite of 90's rock band Bad 4 Good's song by the same name

You think you've had it rough
I've had it rough
You think you've had it tough
I've had it tough
You think you've seen mean
You have't done mean, boy
Till like me
You've been clean for nineteen

Yeah, I've seen it, seen it, seen it, seen it
Seen that so called power drop
Seen it drop a man to his knees
Till before I knew it
I was gone, I was so freakin' gone
Right outta my mind, yeah

Boy, you just gotta kick it
Kick it, kick it, kick it, kick it, kick it
Before the next time is your last time
In this world
Think you're bad
Son, so bad
Ow-letting that power bleed
Power bleed, power bleed
Power bleed away your soul

Listen to me, young one
I've been clean
For nineteen
You don't know
You just don't know
Ba-ba-bad
I know bad
I've seen bad
Think you know bad
Boy, you ain't even seen it yet

Just wait till you're in detox!
