Sad Songs

I'll be plain and honest, above all I love sad songs
And to the common outsider that might seem mad wrong
See they don't understand, none of them, they don't listen
Sound hits their ears but to them all the dope's missin
This music is a drug to me, devoured hungrily
What hits for me is others' misery hung to see
As you blast talk of booty, ho's and getting laid
I silently admire moody souls and getting slain
When spitting pain, I get a look into real life
No more false persona's just real people that feel strife
A daunting task to throw off the haunting mask
And give space in a song to what's in your taunting past
My views get confused, others haven't walked in my shoes
They're naive and don't perceive value in talk of the blues
Music is my life and there's only one other
The bright ray of hope that I call my young brother
My little bro is close to me, in the prime of his youth
Hard for me to decide when it should be time for the truth
We've always been close, from the moment of birth
I'm so scared for the time when fate opens the earth
He won't understand, where or why, he's not old enough
Do I dare to cry? I know he will when told this stuff
So I followed my idols and made music my medium
And what I do now I'll use later to see to 'em
Make sure that he's safe and always on the right path
How to talk to girls, and against bullies to fight back
Even if he can't know me now, later he'll feel
The love I left for him inside my audio will
So why do I love sad songs? I can't really answer
But I guess in part it's on account of my cancer
