[Verse 1]
You got your phone, you got your plate
Still lookin’ mad like it’s too late
Mom said “smile,” you roll your eyes
Like all that good stuff came from the skies
School in your head, and bills on mine
You call it “free,” but it takes my time
Little stress here, little stress there
Still got a heart and a world to care
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you so tense?
Why you so cold?
Life in your hands
Don’t let it fold
Breathe in, breathe out
Take it slow, baby
You got a lot
Still you move crazy
[Chorus]
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
You got a whole young life
Don’t waste it, baby
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
Stop, look up, live now
That’s the way, baby
[Verse 2]
You say “I’m fine” but your jaw stay tight
Clutching your phone like it’s gonna fight
Fresh kicks on, but your spirit tired
Too much noise got your spark unwired
I know it’s pressure, I know it’s heat
I know the world don’t give you peace
But you still dance when the sun come through
So I’m asking you what you gon’ do
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you so tense?
Why you so cold?
Life in your hands
Don’t let it fold
Breathe in, breathe out
Take it slow, baby
You got a lot
Still you move crazy
[Chorus]
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
You got a whole young life
Don’t waste it, baby
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
Stop, look up, live now
That’s the way, baby
[Bridge]
You don’t need to hold it all
Let the small things fall
Laugh a little, run a little
Let your shoulders uncoil
If it’s heavy, say it out
Don’t let it live in your mouth
You were made for more than that
More than frowns and doubt
[Final Chorus]
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
You got a whole young life
Don’t waste it, baby
Why you so angry? (angry)
Why you so angry? (angry)
Stop, look up, live now
That’s the way, baby
