[Intro: JP Anderson]
Angry people gonna be out tonight
They gonna troll you, gonna see if you bite
Getting in your face, they gonna instigate
They put some bodies on the line but it ain't nothing but bait
Pointing to their guns they try to test your discipline
Looking like the victim is the only way they win
Claiming innocence, they accuse you of the sin
They wanna frame you, criminal, it’s a false equivalence
Angry people gonna
Angry people gonna

[Verse 1: JP Anderson]
On the street, in the air, in our eyes, in our cries
It’s a fundamеntal act of defiance
They can flеx, they can vex, we reject, we connect
They will never come to know our compliance
But we are human too
Patience ebbs, and love? Fuck you
All this that we’re going through
Means we don’t need what they cling to

[Hook: JP Anderson]
Defend yourself
But don't let them draw you out
But don't let them draw you out
Angry people gonna
Angry people gonna
[Verse 2: JP Anderson]
They can point, they can gas, they can shoot, they can beat
They can wallow all night in their violence
They can flex, they can vex, we reject, we connect
They are looking all the more just a tyrant
But we are human too
Patience ebbs, and love? Fuck you
All this that we’re going through
Means we don’t need what they cling to

[Hook: JP Anderson]
Defend yourself
But don't let them draw you out
But don't let them draw you out

[Bridge: JP Anderson]
Angry people gonna be out tonight
They want a reaction, want to get you to fight
Getting right in your face they wanna make this space
An audience for their resentment, for their pain and disgrace
Using epithets, they try to test your discipline
Looking like a simpleton, like you’re no citizen
Looking like the victim is the only way they win
They wanna frame you, criminal, it’s a false equivalence
Angry people gonna
But we are human too
Patience ebbs, and love? Fuck you
All this that we’re going through
Means we don’t need what they cling to
[Hook: JP Anderson]
Defend yourself
But don't let them draw you out
But don't let them draw you out
Angry people gonna
