Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Will Smith

Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Will Smith

Check out the index.


Big Willie Style album at Amazon.com
Will Smith's, "Just the Two of Us"
The Lyrics:
Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Why:
It should be: "Disrespect you and treat you badly." "Treat" is a verb and should be modified by an adverb, not an adjective.
