Anxiety
Megan Thee Stallion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just take a sip right quick (Go Grizz)
Just got a lot to get off my chest (huh)
I'm a bad bitch, and I got bad anxiety
People call me rude 'cause I ain't lettin' 'em try me
Sayin' I'm a ho 'cause I'm in love with my body
Issues, but nobody I could talk to about it
But I don't even know what I need
They keep sayin' speak your truth
And at the same time say they don't believe, man
Excuse me while I get into my feelings for a second
Usually I keep it down, but today I gotta tell it
Not that anybody gives a fuck anyway
But everybody talkin' shit probably sucks anyway
Y'all don't even know how I feel
I don't even know how I deal
Today I really hate everybody
And that's just me bein' real, yeah
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Bad bitches have bad days too
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, bounce back
How a bad bitch always do
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
If I could write a letter to Heaven
I would tell my mama that I shoulda been listenin'
And I would tell her sorry that I really been wildin'
And ask her to forgive me, 'cause I really been tryin'
And I would ask please, show me who been real
And get 'em from around me if they all been fake
It's crazy how I say the same prayers to the Lord
And always get surprised about who he take, man
I'm really thinkin' 'bout dialin' 911 'til I freak
'Cause they probably won't think it's that deep
And I don't do drugs, so I never get a time when I'm at ease
I can't even handle smokin' weed
Marilyn Monroe, my favorite ho
My favorite bad bitch, I think she the GOAT
Jammin' to Britney, singin' to Whitney
I just wan' talk to somebody that get me, yeah
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Bad bitches have bad days too
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, bounce back
How a bad bitch always do
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Bad bitches have bad days too
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, bounce back
How a bad bitch always do
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
All I really wanna hear is, "It'll be okay"
Bounce back 'cause a bad bitch can have bad days
In the song "Anxiety" by Megan Thee Stallion, the rapper opens up about her struggles with anxiety and the way people perceive her. She starts off by acknowledging her bad bitch persona while also admitting to her bad anxiety. People often call her rude for not taking any nonsense, and they label her a hoe because of her love for her body. However, Megan has no one to talk to as she struggles with her issues, and people keep telling her to speak her truth even when they themselves do not believe her.
As the song progresses, Megan talks about her bad days and how she tries to overcome them. She wants to be reassured that everything will be okay, and she knows that she will bounce back because that's what bad bitches do. The rapper further reveals her vulnerability by saying that if she could write a letter to heaven, she would tell her mom that she should have listened to her and ask for forgiveness, acknowledging that she has been wilding. She also reveals that she has trouble finding people who are genuine around her and is in search of someone who can truly understand her.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that bad bitches have bad days, all they want to hear is that they will be okay, and they will always bounce back. This shows that Megan is trying to break the stereotype that bad bitches are untouchable and unbreakable. Instead, she acknowledges that she is also human and has emotions.

@cindyhafley
I cried but I love it. Thank you for your vulnerability. Black women are always seen as so tough but being tough all the time eventually wears on you. You deserve people you can be vulnerable with.
@IamUnique718
Ook I thought I was the only one👀😃
@enhancedpeace
That was beautifully said
@urbanhippiechi4426
Didn’t want to mess up your “333” replies. But yes to all of this!
@atxvet
I'm just starting to listen to hip hop after a friend turned me on to the current crop of truly great female rappers (I know there have been greats for longer). Anyway, mainly tracks like this are a confidence booster for me, but they also open a window into the inner life of black women that I would otherwise not have and it's a lot. Not trying to perform here or seek approval, but your comment confirms something that I'm starting to maybe, kind of, a little bit understand about our common and not-so-common life experiences. ❤🩹

@22NaturallyBrown
Her vulnerability shows her growth as an artist and I appreciate it. It’s something we all can relate to.
@Maleetorres105
Yeah, don't hear many artists say im having a fucking hard time right now trying to stay tough. Everyone appreciates the vulnerability that sometimes we just can't be a rock today and being honest with panic and sadness they deal with
@kordei-7839
I respect how she’s talking about how she doesn’t know if she can handle it all but reminding herself it’s a just a bad day. Like she’s fighting to keep going
@Keemdagoat45
“I really wanna hear is it’s gonna be okay” make me cry everytime 😢
