Sad Lyrics by Esham

$cribble

2017

'[Verse 1]
Hold on when you talkin' on your Metro
Stay strong when you really wanna let go
If you love someone, you really oughta let 'em know
'Cause this life we live is really unforgettable
And unforgivable, but still livable
One nation under God indivisible
Still critical, pitiful, shit it go
Up in smoke if we burn this bitch down
Yeah they shot that brother Michael Brown
They'll shoot another brother in yo town
It doesn't matter if you white or black
It's all about the way you act
Eye for eye, I cannot lie
George Zimmerman still alive, why?
You gotta walk before you crawl
They say Prince OD'd off fentanyl
Nah, dog, can't believe that
Not my mans, I hate to read that
I'm not gonna let the elevator
Stop the levitator or break us down

[Interlude]
Oh no
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts

[Verse 2]
And while you out here chasing your dreams
Remember everything ain't all what it seems
Too busy thinking about chasing the cream
Instead we turned the whole nation to fiends
I wish at times that we could take it all back
But we all gotta live with the facts
You sold your soul for the diamonds and gold
But you the one gotta deal with that

[Chorus]
And I'm still gonna mess up time to time
But they tell me that it's okay
If I get down on my knees and pray
Then they tell me that's the way
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?

[Verse 3]
For the lost and forgotten
For the ones who are rotten in the grave
The choice-less, the voiceless slaves
The sons and daughter to never be raised
Victims of gun violence when the bullets blaze
For everybody going through they wicked ways
Trying to change them in these last days
Before you get to Heaven's gates
They told me never wait, so I was never late for a check
Might check and get your Nike checks like Jordan
But it's really not important
People killin' time killin' out of boredom
He put the gun down, picked up his fists and fought 'em
Murder was the case that they gave him when they caught him
They threw the book at him, yeah they taught him
Brought him up on charges, man, these life lessons can't afford

[Chorus]
And I'm still gonna mess up time to time
But they tell me that it's okay
If I get down on my knees and pray
Then they tell me that's the way
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?
Why do we sing these sad songs?
