Mad At Today Lyrics – Lecrae

Mad At Today Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
This part is like a playful question repeated again and again, asking why people are always upset about something. It highlights how anger or frustration has become a daily routine for many, almost like people look for reasons to be annoyed instead of finding peace or joy in their day.

[Verse 1]
Here, Lecrae points out how people often blame others for their problems instead of looking at their own choices. He talks about someone who oversleeps, ends up late, hates their job, and feels stuck because they didn’t take school seriously. Instead of owning up to it, they lash out at others, even him, for no reason. People criticize him for being successful, for his looks, for his views, and even assume he’s fake, showing how negativity can come from jealousy or dissatisfaction. This verse is about how misplaced anger makes people attack others, even when those others did nothing to hurt them.

[Chorus]
The same question is asked again, serving as a reminder that people carry anger every day. It stresses how being upset has become so common that it’s almost expected, like an everyday habit, instead of something people try to work through.

[Verse 2]
This verse shows how anger and bitterness have grown with time. In the past, people were happier, but once social media arrived, it made complaining and attacking others easier. Over the years, negativity online has only gotten stronger. Lecrae then shifts the focus, reminding listeners that despite struggles and hardships, they are alive, blessed, and loved by God. He says life’s pain can teach lessons, and Heaven is waiting with people cheering them on. He encourages feeding the spirit with good things instead of anger, remembering God’s patience, and spreading love the same way. He also points out that culture wars and negativity shouldn’t control us, because love and hope are far stronger than evil.

[Interlude]
This short part is warm and personal, like a friend reassuring another. Lecrae directly tells the listener that they are loved and not alone, ending with a peaceful goodbye.

[Chorus]
The repeated question comes back, driving home the message that people keep holding onto anger for no real reason. It calls out the cycle of frustration and challenges listeners to reflect on why they let negativity control their days when they could choose something better.
