MAD!

(album: Growing Up, Pt.2 - 2022)

Don't let the sun go down
While you are angry
For anger gives a foothold to the enemy
Are you ready?

Yeah, he-hello from 5 years ago
I can hear that old flow
From that pre-Post Malone
Back in the first job out of college days
Call that the Ramen phase
Back when a common phrase used out of place could send ya boy into a rage
Imagine the faces I made
Staring daggers at the charades
I was so bent out of shape
Nearly forgot about grace
Today the God that perfected it
Is calling me to use it where I never expected it

Let go of those old feelings, do some soul keeping
But they've cemented their meaning in my defense they're revealing
I know that you're still bleeding, begin a new season
I hear the reasoning...

But sometimes it's just fun to be mad
Digging up the trouble we had (so bad)
When I know that I was right
I'd enjoy another fight
'Cause it's fun to be mad
If you get defensive I'm glad (so bad)
Deep down I know this isn't right
But I get stuck inside my mind (still mad)

Put your hands up if you're feelin like a tantrum
If you're in the market for cathartic party anthems
Here's a handsome lil stanza
That understands ya
I'm sampling my phantom pains it's like a fanfare playing
So loud in my head
Sounds like buried hatchets coming back from the dead
I said that I was good I was fine I moved on
But I misunderstood all the signs for too long I been gone

Let go of those old feelings, do some soul keeping
But they anticipate cheating in many ways they're relieving
I know that you're still bleeding, begin a new season
I hear the reasoning...

But sometimes it's just fun to be mad
Digging up the trouble we had (so bad)
When I know that I was right
I'd enjoy another fight
'Cause it's fun to be mad
If you get defensive I'm glad (so bad)
Deep down I know this isn't right
But I get stuck inside my mind (still mad)

I know that I should probably let it go like Elsa
Pick a fuel that's more sustainable like Tesla
It's on the agenda, a grudge costs you extra you betcha

But sometimes it's just fun to be mad
Digging up the trouble we had (so bad)
When I know that I was right
I'd enjoy another fight
'Cause it's fun to be mad
If you get defensive I'm glad (so bad)
Deep down I know this isn't right
But I get stuck inside my mind (still mad)
