- This kid, Scotzilla, from the UK, got at me and my co-manager Ghost (@skimaskghost) about doing some intern work with us. He then sent this beat over and I recall the sample from an Alicia Keys’ album. The "Sad Song" concept was something I had in mind and I just thought this fit perfectly. Everyone loves to play victim and act like their life is worse than everyone else's. I decided to do this from my perspective and also generalize it as well. The whole idea of using different voices of each person's situation being worse than the next was a good idea. When I came up with that idea I think it was pretty easy to finish this song. I didn't want to write too much. Sometimes you don't need to beat a concept or idea to death. I feel like I said enough in only 2 minutes. The hook wasn't all full sounding or anything it was just something that I wanted to sound natural and part of the verse. This is a song I'd like to perform with a band and have no vocal tracks playing over me. I set it up recording wise so I can do that easier. This song means a lot to me and I think it's pretty easy to relate to.
lyrics
[VERSE 1]
I got a sad song, but somebody else got it worse
I got this pain, but to someone else this might not hurt
If only things went right for me, I would smile more
When it rains it pours, but on me, it comes down more
I've gained weight, I’m trying lose it, this ain't fun to see
It’s my girl’s fault always eating these sweets in front of me
We go to restaurants I always wanna order salad
A rack of ribs won't kill me, or do anymore damage
I'll start my diet tomorrow I swear or the next day
I blame my lapses on everyone else, that’s the best way
Why should I stand and ride, life ain't a Segway
Lay down and cry, I rather be depressed, I'm dead weight, (try)
No I, truthfully just rather lie here
And the truth to me's a mask disguised by my lies here
I can't even face my mirror, with a slight stare
Cause anything past a glimpse, I just might tear
[VERSE 2]
Tomorrow's today, This is Groundhog Day
Shut my alarm; see the crack of dawn to my dismay. damn
I hate this job, but got bills to pay
I got the saddest song ever, why do I feel this way
Look maybe it’s my mother’s fault cuz she ain't ever love me right
My mother never loved me, at least yours loved you right?
My mother died when I was 16 I got it worse
Man I wish I had a mom at all, mine’s died giving birth
All week I been eating out from that dollar menu
I been living off Ramen noodles, 5 for a dollar special
Look be glad y'all food's clean, I gotta dig through garbage
Man I would kill for anything to eat, I'm really starving
But regardless of ya situation mine’s is worse
I bet you couldn't walk through half the roads that I’ve traversed
If you’re dehydrating, I just died of thirst
Everyday I'm contemplating suicide from 9 to 5 at work
"Why me?" is what I embellish the truth as
I always think about what I don't got, instead of cherishing what I do have
Life's, no fair, to this control freak
Attached to my joystick is nothing, so you can't even con-sole me
[BRIDGE]
So just feel bad for me, what a tragedy
Sing my sad song, na na na .......na
Sing my sad song, na na na .......na
It goes on and on and on sing, na na na na
