Lyrics
I’m Jorja Smith and when I’m in a bad mood I can make a whole room really feel as bad as I do I overthink, “why am I in a bad mood?” “Why has someone put me in a bad mood?” Loads of whys and no solutions of how to get myself out of a bad mood Which I’m tryna work on
It’s the Nigerian nightmare, Kamaru Usman And when I am in a bad mood, I love to stop and think So, that I don’t make the situation worse I give myself time to be able to make a rational and educated decision That’d help me through the situation When I’m in a bad mood, I tend to be very quiet And I go to my high power, my God
When it’s rainin’, you wish the sun was shinin’ When it’s sunshine, you wish the rain was fallin’ You’re always searchin’, never seem to find it Lookin’ in all the wrong places
‘Cause you can’t seem to decide whether you’re wrong or you’re right And you’re just not sure about your life Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind And your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angry
When you feel like you’re lonely When you feel as sad as you can feel Say, “how bad could it b-e-e, e-e-e, e-e-e?” Say, how bad could it be?
Many wan know if you love just her And you got way too many scars before me Search for problems where there isn’t any
You’re only happy when us breakin’ up
You can’t seem to decide whether you’re wrong or you’re right And you’re just not sure about your life Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind And your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angry When you feel like you’re lonely When you feel as sad as you can feel Say, “how bad could it b-e-e, e-e-e, e-e-e?” Say, how bad could it be?
Oh, there’s a reason why you walk like you don’t have a care in the world All the times in your life that you had to put up with someone like me Never should have loved you like that Never should have listened to them there Because even when it seems suicidal
Always have to listen to my heart
When it’s rainin’, you wish the sun was shinin’ When it’s sunshine, you wish the rain would fall
You’re always searchin’, never seem to find it Lookin’ in all the wrong places, ah
You can’t seem to decide whether you’re wrong or you’re right And you’re just not sure about your life Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind And your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angry When you feel like you’re lonely When you feel as sad as you can feel Say, “how bad could it b-e-e, e-e-e, e-e-e?” Say, how bad could it be?
Yeah-yeah, it’s your boy, Swizz Beatz (ahn-ahn, ahhhn, ahn) Shout out to my brother, Burna Boy (ahn-ahn, ahhhn, ahn) You know, when I get upset Disappointed with things sometimes (ahn-ahn, ahhhn, ahn) I just, like, put on some jazz music (ahn-ahn, ahhhn, ahn)
Go smoke a cigar (ahn-ahn, ahhhn, ahn) And just go play with the kids, you know what I’m sayin’? Go and play with my kids Go out with the wife Just switch that energy and just know that, you know, too blessed to be stressed
No matter what, you know what I mean? So, a lot of things that I’m upset with I think because people just don’t know better You know what I’m sayin’? People just don’t know better So, you know, we gotta know better
