Sad Rappers - Tom MacDonald

Where'd all these suicidal sad rappers come from

They showed up with those mumble rapper dum-dums

They've been praying on people with mental illness

And pretending to relate to get paid and create a business

They claim to be anxious say they're depressed

They're faking it to gain something in common

With some fans for a check

It's over-diagnosed so it's becoming a trend

To say you're crazy or insane

Or that you're sick in the head

They romanticize the mental pain we're barely surviving

And then they glorify the men and women losing their lives

I'm talking Cobain Lil Peep

Winehouse Jackson Williams

Cornell Bennington

Imagine all the icons that we buried

Probably turning in their grave

So they can witness how this sickness

Getting used to get paid

These rappers fabricating symptoms for fame

Their mental illness is the money on their mind

It started rotting their brains yeah

Y'all ain't real from the chains to the gear

To the grills now it's pain talking tears taking pills

Y'all ain't real I can see it in your eyes all lies

Y'all guys don't know how we feel

Y'all ain't real enough to deal with us

To feel the love nah nah nah nah

Y'all just make believe

You claim to be the same as me nah nah nah nah

People die from depression these rappers cry for attention

And it's in every single genre you could possibly mention

From pop to electronic to rock to indie to grunge

They're tryna hook you into using the music like it's a **

Get you addicted to artists that manufactured to target

A lot of people in therapy tryna deal with their hardships

Crafted and marketed till they had you convinced

That if you follow that person

They make you fight in your skin

They ain't really tryna help you

They don't wanna make you better

It's a lie they're tryna sell you

So you always buy their records

If you wanna know the truth they want you struggling forever

So you look to them for answers

With your Visa or your debit

It's like the record labels working for pharma

They made anxiety trendy by using popular artists

Then use the rappers to promote prescription pills to their audience

They created the problem to sell

You pills that would solve 'em it's brilliant

Y'all ain't real from the chains to the gear

To the grills now it's pain talking tears taking pills

Y'all ain't real I can see it in your eyes

All lies y'all guys don't know how we feel

Y'all ain't real enough to deal with us

To feel the love nah nah nah nah

Y'all just make believe

You claim to be the same as me nah nah nah nah

Exploiting our problems to benefit

They just wanna get paid

I spent all my money on medicine

Spend all your money on chains

Y'all just exploiting the misery

Popping Xannies to fade

Well I'm throwing ones into therapy

'Cause all I know is rain

Y'all ain't real from the chains to the gear

To the grills now it's pain talking tears taking pills

Y'all ain't real I can see it in your eyes

All lies y'all guys don't know how we feel

Y'all ain't real enough to deal with us

To feel the love nah nah nah nah

Y'all just make believe

You claim to be the same as me nah nah nah nah

Y'all ain't real from the chains to the gear

To the grills now it's pain talking tears taking pills

Y'all ain't real I can see it in your eyes

All lies y'all guys don't know how we feel

Y'all ain't real enough to deal with us

To feel the love nah nah nah nah

Y'all just make believe

You claim to be the same as me nah nah nah nah
