[Verse 1]
Walk in through the gates
Like I own this place
In a lot of ways I do-o-o
If you're in my space
Get out of my face
Or you'll get a taste of what I do

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So it's back to school
Back to playing cool
Back to breaking rules
Beating up the fools who let me get away with it
And I always get away with it

[Chorus]
Been skipping on thin ice, all my life
Do things and I don't think twice
'Cause it, don't pay to be nice
It don't pay to be nice
(Na na na na)
Dancing on thin ice, look in my eyes
Can't tell if I'm telling you lies
'Cause it, don't pay to be nice
It don't pay to be nice
Na-na-na-na-nice
