I’ve been so angry for so long
It’s hard to sing a joyous song
And the anger makes me do wrong
But it’s too late, my opportunities are gone
I’ve been so angry for so many years
It latches on, magnifies my fears
And since I could never switch gears
I lost people who were very dear
I’ve been so angry for as long as I can remember
I only just realized it this past December
And if I wasn’t, any team would want me to be a member
Now when I try to love, it gets returned to sender
I’ve been so angry for the better part of my life
Its how I handled mental strife
My temper can cut as deep as a knife
But now its jeopardized me becoming a wife
I’ve been so angry it makes me wanna cry
‘Cuz I know I’ll never get a slice of the pie
And no matter how hard I try
My anger is gonna keep me alone ’til the day I die
