“More Than Anger”

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah)
(Ayo, listen up, man)
(Everybody got that fire inside, but do you know what it means?)
(Anger ain’t just anger, let’s break it down)
(One time for the ones who hold it in)
(Two times for the ones who let it spin)
(Three times for the ones who tryna change)
(‘Cause anger’s just the surface—look deeper in the pain)

[Verse 1]
Yo, I was heated, breathin’ heavy, fists clenched tight
Thought I’d snap, but somethin’ didn’t sit right
See, anger ain’t the root, it’s a symptom, a disguise
Behind that fire, there’s a flood in your eyes
It’s the pain, frustration, the loss, the regret
The feelin’ of betrayal that you ain’t processed yet
You ain’t mad for no reason, take a second, rewind
It’s the sadness, the fear that you tryna hide behind

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ayy) You ever scream ‘til your throat went numb?
(Ayy) Punch walls ‘til your hands felt dumb?
(Ayy) That’s rage talkin’, but the message is deep
You ain’t just mad, bruh, it’s somethin’ underneath

[Chorus]
Anger’s just the mask, what’s beneath the flame?
Gotta dig a little deeper just to name that pain
You ain’t weak for feelin’ it, nah, it’s real
Recognize what you feel, then you learn how to heal

[Verse 2]
Now let’s talk ‘bout the ways you can deal with the heat
You can breathe, take a walk, hit the pad, hit the beat
Hit the gym, write it out, let it out with a friend
Find the source of the storm, let the cycle end
Cuz bottlin’ it up? Man, that’s gasoline
You let it burn too long, it’s a savage scene
One spark, now you wildin’, sayin’ things you regret
But what if you stepped back, took a second instead?

[Bridge 1]
(Ayy) They say “calm down,” but they don’t explain
(Ayy) So lemme drop knowledge right into your brain
(Ayy) When you feel that heat start risin’ inside
Step back, breathe deep, let the truth collide

[Chorus]
Anger’s just the mask, what’s beneath the flame?
Gotta dig a little deeper just to name that pain
You ain’t weak for feelin’ it, nah, it’s real
Recognize what you feel, then you learn how to heal

[Verse 3]
Man, I get it, we all been there before
When the world do you dirty, and you slam that door
But hold up—what’s the lesson that they never be teachin’?
Anger ain’t the issue, it’s the deeper meanin’
If you scared, if you hurt, if you feelin’ alone
That’s the real feelin’ hidin’ underneath that tone
So before you explode, before you go off track
Take a second, check in—what’s really fightin’ back?

[Bridge 2]
(Ayy) See the truth, don’t let it take control
(Ayy) Feel it raw, let it shape your soul
(Ayy) Cuz a man who can face what’s inside his mind
Ain’t a prisoner of anger, he’s ahead of his time

[Chorus]
Anger’s just the mask, what’s beneath the flame?
Gotta dig a little deeper just to name that pain
You ain’t weak for feelin’ it, nah, it’s real
Recognize what you feel, then you learn how to
