Sad Song Songtext
von Michael E

Put on a sad song
Sing me a sad song
I′m feeling so down
I feel like I can drown
Put on a sad song
Sing me a sad song
'cause I′m not feeling well
I know that you can tell


Yeah
Lord help me testify
Lord help me feel alright
To walk by faith and not by sight
Lord help me see the light
'cause back when I was young fought with the external
But in my present day Im fighting the internal
I sit here and I journal
Reflecting on the journey
I was young the hood looked bleak
I felt more strong now I feeling weak
Did I reach my peak
Should I take a seat
'cause back in the day: gun shots popping
Midnight oil was not stopping
Okay okay okay
I grew up around killas dope dealers
My brothers my sisters
Hermanos hermanas
I was banging them books
Some was banging the hood
I stood tall with my head so high
I did not fall my spirit was right
Gang warfare was at my doorstep
I was minding my biz
I was never shook
In a nightmare now feels important
I′m still minding my biz
Yet I′m looking all shook
Will younger me out do older me
Something 8 year old me should not see
80 year old me telling me: Son
take your bitter grief and let it go in order for you to feel relief
Let it go man
(Just gotta let it go)
(Let it go)

Put on a sad song
Sing me a sad song
I'm feeling so down
I feel like I can drown
Put on a sad song
Sing me a sad song
′cause I'm not feeling well
I know that you can tell


I can′t let me down so I pick myself up off the ground
I can't let me drown so I am reaching for solid ground
Was in the trenches and I survived to make it this far
To not take it farther again and get me out the gutter
Should make me wanna just shudder
Diamonds are made under pressure
Now I am feeling the depression
While I′m recording this session
I'm calling this my confession
But now I rise from the ashes of the past
Healing's a journey but I′m learning so fast
Each scar tells a story of the battles I′ve braved
Yeah I am no longer enslaved
Here's to the struggle to breaking those chains
My future is bright because I′m learning from pain
Oh yeah I am learning from pain
