Lyrics
I’m Jorja Smith and when I’m in a bad moodI can make a whole room really feel as bad as I doI 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 moodWhich I’m tryna work on
It’s the Nigerian nightmare, Kamaru UsmanAnd when I am in a bad mood, I love to stop and thinkSo, that I don’t make the situation worseI give myself time to be able to make a rational and educated decisionThat’d help me through the situationWhen I’m in a bad mood, I tend to be very quietAnd 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 itLookin’ in all the wrong places
‘Cause you can’t seem to decide whether you’re wrong or you’re rightAnd you’re just not sure about your lifeGet nervous, then anxiety take over your mindAnd your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angry
When you feel like you’re lonelyWhen you feel as sad as you can feelSay, “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 herAnd you got way too many scars before meSearch 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 rightAnd you’re just not sure about your lifeGet nervous, then anxiety take over your mindAnd your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angryWhen you feel like you’re lonelyWhen you feel as sad as you can feelSay, “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 worldAll the times in your life that you had to put up with someone like meNever should have loved you like thatNever should have listened to them thereBecause 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 itLookin’ in all the wrong places, ah
You can’t seem to decide whether you’re wrong or you’re rightAnd you’re just not sure about your lifeGet nervous, then anxiety take over your mindAnd your trouble just increase in size, mm
When you’re feelin’ mad and you’re angryWhen you feel like you’re lonelyWhen you feel as sad as you can feelSay, “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 upsetDisappointed 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 kidsGo out with the wifeJust 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 withI think because people just don’t know betterYou know what I’m sayin’?People just don’t know betterSo, you know, we gotta know better
