Lyrics

[Intro]
You got the light, count it all joy
You got the right to be mad
But when you carry it alone, you find it only getting in the way
They say you gotta let it go
[Verse 1]
Now tell 'em why you mad, son
'Cause doin' it all ain't enough
'Cause everyone all in my cup
'Cause such-and-such still owe me bucks
So I got the right to get bucked
But I try not to let it build up
I'm too high, I'm too better, too much
So I let it go, let it go, let it go
[PreChorus]
I ran into this girl, she said, "Why you always blamin'?
Why you can't just face it? Why you always gotta be so mad?" (Be mad, be mad, be mad)
Be mad, be mad, be mad
"Why you always talkin' shit, always be complainin'?
Why you always gotta be, why you always gotta be so" (Be mad, be mad, be mad)
I got a lot to be mad about (Be mad, be mad)
[Chorus]
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love, baby?
[Verse 2]
Yeah, but I got a lot to be mad about
Got a lot go be a man about, got a lot to pop a Xan about
I used to rock hand-me-downs and now I rock standing crowds
But it's hard when you only got fans around and no fam around
And if they are, then they hands is out and they pointin' fingers
When I wear this fuckin' burden on my back like a muhfuckin' cap and gown
Then I walk up in a bank, pants saggin' down
Then I laugh at frowns, what they mad about?
'Cause here comes this muhfucker with this mass account
That didn't wear a cap and gown
Are you mad 'cause the judge didn't give me more time
Or when I attempted suicide, I didn't die?
I remember how mad I was on that day
Man, you gotta let it go before I get up in the way
Let it go, let it go
[PreChorus]
I ran into this girl, she said, "Why you always blamin'?"
Why you can't just face it? Why you always gotta be so mad? (Be mad, be mad, be mad)
I got a lot to be mad about (Be mad, be mad)
[Chorus]
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love go?
Where'd your love, baby, baby, baby, baby?
[Outro]
I ran into this girl, I said, "I'm tired of explainin'
Man, this shit is drainin'"
And I'm not feeling allowed to be mad
