Mood
Jessie Reyez Lyrics

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Expressing excitement and agreement.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Continuing to express excitement and agreement.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Continuing to express even more excitement and agreement.

I get along with most men, more than I do with some women
I have better relationships with men than with certain women.

It used to be different back when Jay was in the picture
Things were different when Jay was involved in my life.

I had a snake in the grass pretendin' to be my sister
Someone who was close to me betrayed me and pretended to be loyal.

Had a Judas in mass and all the opps knew my business
I had someone who betrayed me and spread gossip about me.

Now I got old friends in new phones sayin' they miss me
Former friends are reaching out to me now claiming they miss me.

And now I squint at the screen, havin' a hard time tellin' the difference
I'm having difficulty distinguishing between genuine and fake intentions.

Like people think I forgot that when shit was hard, they was missin' the vision
Some people believe that I forgot about their absence when I was struggling.

Like chasin' that gold around broke folks and givin'
Pursuing wealth while surrounded by people who are financially struggling.

We chilled once in '06, bitch, you ain't my homie
We spent time together in '06, but you are not a true friend.

Your dude was my broski, but your dumb ass hated on me
Your partner was my close friend, but you disliked me for no reason.

Your insecurities made you think there was more goin' on low-key
Your own insecurities led you to believe that there was something happening behind the scenes.

High-key he used to be fam, but your dumb ass made him disown me
He used to be like family to me, but because of your behavior, he distanced himself from me.

But that's not my loss, you can hold that L (hold that)
I am not at a loss here, you can bear the consequence for your actions.

Never needed shit from no one, I'm good by myself
I have always been self-sufficient and don't rely on others.

But that's a lie without my mom, I know this fame would be hell
Despite claiming independence, I am aware that without my mother, dealing with fame would be difficult.

So if my parents hit the ground, hope I'm heaven as well (well)
If my parents were to pass away, I would hope to join them in heavenly peace.

But if they're good, I'm good, and everythin' else is soft (yup)
As long as my parents are doing well, I am content, and everything else seems insignificant.

My brother's kids are blessed and I just bought a whip for my pops (yup)
My nieces/nephews are fortunate, and I recently purchased a car for my father.

So if you think I give a fuck that I'm missin' your calls
If you believe that I care about not answering your calls,

Fuck what you think, 'cause that's between me and God
I don't care about your opinion, because ultimately, it's between me and my faith.

Life ain't easy
Life is challenging.

You know that life ain't easy
You are aware that life is not easy.

I'm fallin' for a light skin boy, but I ain't put him on the 'Gram
I am developing feelings for a fair-skinned boy, but I haven't showcased our relationship on social media.

'Cause drama got me hidin', don't know if it's goin' to last, yeah
The fear of drama and uncertainty makes me hesitant to reveal the relationship.

Pero el chocolate mezcla bien with my molasses
But our different backgrounds complement each other.

Waist gettin' slimmer, but I don't think my ass is
My waist is becoming smaller, but I don't believe my buttocks are proportionate.

Patience gettin' shorter, but I don't think my cash is
I'm becoming less patient, but I don't think my financial situation has improved.

Don't see it gettin' bigger, baby? You might need some glasses
If you don't see my financial situation improving, maybe you need better vision.

Camera, action, I'm ready for the masses
I am prepared for attention and fame.

Only thing fake about a bitch is my lashes
The only artificial thing about me is my eyelashes.

I even gotta thank Mother Mary for the pain
I am grateful for the hardships I've experienced, thanks to Mother Mary.

'Cause the kid about to make another hit from the sadness
Because I am about to create another successful song from my sadness.

Caskets, caskets for all of the has-beens
Metaphorical caskets for those who didn't support me and are now irrelevant.

Who wouldn't help me out, now it's zoom, zoom past you
Those who refused to support me are now left behind.

Oh, you wanna build now? Look who's askin'
Now that I'm successful, you suddenly want to collaborate? Look who's seeking my help.

Oh, you want to link now? Look who's laughin'
Now that I'm thriving, you want to connect? Look who's finding the situation amusing.

Sike, I still move with grace
Surprise, I still carry myself gracefully despite everything.

I don't hold it against the non-believers for not believin', that's not my mistake
I don't blame those who doubted me, that's not my fault.

And I needed that hate, 'cause those ingredients make the underdog great
I actually benefited from the negativity because it fueled me to succeed as an underdog.

You ain't gotta love me now, because you'll love me late, I learned to love the rain
You don't have to love me now, because eventually you will, and I have learned to appreciate challenges.

It's all the same, still got a smile on my face
Regardless of the circumstances, I still maintain a joyful demeanor.
