Its driving me nuts. the lyrics are something like “boy ain’t right, boy ain’t right, suicide fight” or something like that I have typed it in every lyric search I know of. Anyone know what this is?

Give us a clue. Is it rock, rap or what? How old? male/female vocals?

Humm us a bit and we’ll join in 😃

Yeah, what **rocksolid** said. Also, is it featured in a movie, commercial, or TV show?

Could it be Hazard ? by Richard Marx.

You can easily interpret the last two lines of the song as a suicide.

All that comes to mind is Juvenile Committee’s song ‘Flipside.’ which includes the line:

> [@](#):
>
> Teach your boys the game, the game is what it’s like  
> But that’ll move the crew, and somethin ain’t right  
> Your boys ain’t with you, your boys wanna fight

It’s nowhere near a match but has some similarity. [Link to whole song](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/juice/flipside.htm) (may have a pop-up)

I think it was like a 80s song, maybe a punk song, with a female singer
