Sad Boy

Gerald what the fuck is wrong, man?

Cheer the fuck up, you asshole, yeah

We fake it 'til we make it

Work while everyone doubts

I was dreamin' of award shows

While still on the couch

Fame is all so new to me

Guess I'm feelin' it out

Man the other day my grandma said she's selling the house (wait)

See I was much more bummy and less star

When my mom's unemployment check wouldn't stretch far

Wishin' that my confidence was made out of Teflon

And I could superhero, save the day, cop her next car

Coming out the Bay feels like nobody gets far

Feels like we're doomed

Like they're building a Death Star

Drink it all the way, stumble into the next bar

Rap is like the lottery, we're all tryna scratch for

But when that shit just strikes gold

You accomplish life goals

Go and get that ice froze, get paid off of nice flows

It's weird now I got money to buy nice steez

But don't look down

Get scared of heights like these

Gerald what you so sad for?

Why the hell you got the blues?

Everybody wanna be in your shoes

Gerald what you so sad for?

Everything ain't that bad

Name a reason that you got to be mad

Gerald what you so sad for?

Man stop acting like a bitch

Forgot you're all famous now and rich?

Gerald what you so sad for?

Man stop cryin', homie rap more

(Alright, well)

And in a year I went from overlooked to over-booked

You won't ever understand the work it took

Drinkin' every night to celebrate what we made

But the parties have changed

Weirdos crowd around and start acting strange

At the bar stress chain smoking cigarettes

And I don't even smoke, I know I should drink a little less

But nothing can prepare you for how crazy this business gets

Once again sad boy Gerald is in distress

So hard on myself I think I'm going insane

The mind of a perfectionist is always in pain

Should be happy I don't have to set alarms to wake up

I just tour and cake up

I should probably call home so me and moms can make up

These days the only home I know is the road

And clowns are all sad inside, or so I’m told

And the girl I'm really thinking of is states away

We'll run away and find a place to stay

Gerald what you so sad for?

Why the hell you got the blues?

Everybody wanna be in your shoes

Gerald what you so sad for?

Everything ain't that bad

Name a reason that you got to be mad

Gerald what you so sad for?

Man stop acting like a bitch

Forgot you're all famous now and rich?

Gerald what you so sad for?

This was everything you asked for
