How Bad Could It Be Lyrics – Burna Boy

[Intro: Jorja Smith, Kamaru Usman & Naomi Campbell]
I'm Jorja Smith and when I'm in a bad mood
I can make a whole room really feel as bad as I do
I overthink, "Why am I in a bad mood?"
"Why has someone put me in a bad mood?"
Loads of whys and no solutions of how to get myself
Out of a bad mood
Which I'm tryna work on
It's the Nigerian nightmare, Kamaru Usman
And when I am in a bad mood, I love to stop and think
So that I don't make the situation worse
I give myself time to be able to make a rational
And educated decision
That'd help me through the situation
When I'm in a bad mood, I tend to be very quiet
And I go to my high power, my God

[Pre-Chorus: Burna Boy]
When it's raining, you wish the sun was shining
When it's sunshine, you wish the rain was falling
You're always sеarching, never seem to find it
Looking in all the wrong placеs

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
'Cause you can't seem to decide
Whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feeling mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
How bad could it be?

[Verse 1: Burna Boy]
Many wan know if you love just her
And you've got way too many scars before me
Search for problems where there isn't any
You're only happy when us breaking up

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
You can't seem to decide
Whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feeling mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
Say, "How bad could it be?"

[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
Oh, there's a reason why you walk like
You don't have a care in the world
All the times in your life that
You had to put up with someone like me
Never should have loved you like that
Never should have listened to them there
Because even when it seems suicidal
Always have to listen to my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Burna Boy]
When it's raining, you wish the sun was shining
When it's sunshine, you wish the rain would fall
You're always searching, never seem to find it
Looking in all the wrong places, ah

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
You can't seem to decide
Whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feeling mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
Say, "How bad could it be?"

[Outro: Swizz Beatz]
Yeah, yeah, it's your boy, Swizz Beatz
Shoutout to my brother, Burna Boy
You know, when I get upset
Disappointed with things sometimes
I just, like, put on some jazz music
Go smoke a cigar
And just go play with the kids
You know what I'm saying?
Go and play with my kids
Go out with the wife
Just switch that energy and just know that
You know, too blessed to be stressed
No matter what, you know what I mean?
So, a lot of things that I'm upset with
I think because people just don't know better
You know what I'm saying?
People just don't know better
So, you know, we gotta know better
