Nineteen ninety three, shortly before Thanksgiving
I got the call, she said Jamal Derek is not longer living
Softly she spoke, is this a joke? Man you gotta be kidding
As my question was raised this explanation was given
A meaningless death made me question the meaning of life
Does my body remain at rest like when I'm sleeping at night?
Will I burn in eternal hell or will I find paradise?
Be rejected or ressurected like the body of Christ?
Is it like purgatory, the story described by the Catholics?
Or Nirvana that Budda sought in both theory and practice?
Like I study in my college philosophy classes
Or do my molecules and atoms travel back to the gases?
I mean, what I like to know, is where my spirit goes?
After the curtains close, on my final show?
Is there a pain it brings? Enjoy my favorite things?
Visit ancient kings? Hear the angels sing?
Who'll answer these said the great MCs
My man Gribbles battling a debilitating disease
He said you see a brother like me is willing to fight
And everytime I question death my only answer is life
Nigga fight


[Chorus]
One life, yeahhh
And my God will set me free
Am I living in this moment
Am I living righteously
It gets haaarrdddd
But I know I got to keep on
I'm trying so hard to be strooonnnggg


Paralyzed on the bathroom floor by pain
Last month I endured, but now I can't ignore
Feels like railroad spikes being stuck in my liver
Am I dying? Eyes crying, body starting to shiver
Crawl upstair from the basement calling my sister
(Sniff) Dawn help me, I ain't feeling too healthy
Stomach walls burning, head spinning and turning
Waiting for the EMS; 3:10 in the morning
Rush me to the emergency screaming like a newborn
The pain's too strong maybe my soul's trying to move on
They hook me to the I.V., put me through some X-Rays
Gave me Demerol to kill the pain that was the next phase
Early the next day in the hospital room
Moms and pops in the room, three or four docs in the room
Test results suggest your colon and your liver
Is so cancerous you got three months left
Me and Death is playing chess ever since then
My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends
The Last Emp and Set Free blessed me with a verse
Staying healthy comes first
Look at me things could be worst


[Chorus] - 2X

^^^ Yes "one life" is truly sad, mostly because it's actually true..

another song would be Immortal Technique's "You Never Know"

Never heard it.  The saddest song ever... hmmm.  I'll do the predictible, and just give you a song Brian Wilson wrote at the height of his depression in the 70's.

'Till I Die

I'm a Cork On the Ocean
Floating Over a Raging Sea
How Deep Is The Ocean?
How Deep Is The Ocean?

I'm a Rock In a Landslide
Rolling Over the Mountainside
How Deep Is The Valley?
How Deep Is The Valley?

I'm a Leaf on a Windy Day
Pretty Soon I'll Be Blown Away
How Long Will The Wind Blow?
How Long Will The Wind Blow?

Until I Die.

These Things Haunt Me, Until I Die
These Things Haunt Me, Until I Die
These Things Haunt Me, Until I Die
These Things Haunt Me, Until I Die

its by Last Emperor.. and a guy called Poetic (from the group Gravediggaz) (the singer is a canadian chick called Esthero)

Poetic's verse is about him having colon cancer.. its the last song he ever recorded.. he was really ill while making it.. he'd been to chemotherapy the morning it was made..  and he died shortly after...

i've changed my mind... i was hanging out with a female friend of mine, and she played the saddest song ever:

DJ Sammy - Heaven (9/11 Tribute), piano, singing, and a lil' kid talking to her dead father.... that song is just so sad, i shed a tear or two every time i hear it   :'( (even tho it's a cynical song, made only for selling records)
Title: Re: whats the saddest song you ever heard?
Post by: Don Seer on September 30, 2004, 11:02:05 AM
damn u just reminded me of one...... there used to be a song called "rocky" my parents have somewhere... used to make me feel sad..

i found the lyrics...



Rocky  by Austin Roberts


Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago
she was shy and had a fear of things she did not know,
but we got it on together in such a super way, held each other
close at night and traded dreams each day, and
(chorus)
she said, "Rocky I've never been in love before, don't know if I can do it,
but if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it.
oh and I said, " Baby oh sweet baby it's love will set us free, and
God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me.

We found an old grey house and you would not believe the way
we worked at night to fix it up took classes in the day, paintin
walls and sippin wine sleepin on the floor, With so much love for
just two soon we found there'd be one more.

(chorus)
she said, "Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it,
but if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it.
oh and I said, " Baby oh sweet baby it's love will set us free, and
God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me.

We had lots of problems yeah but we had lots of fun, like the crazy
party when our baby girl turned one, I was proud and satisfied
life had so much to give, til the day they told me that she didn't have
long to live.

(chorus)
she said, "Rocky I've never had to die before, don't know if I can do it..."
Now it's back to two again
The little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
I hear her sweet voice say, to me

"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand, I'll help you through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And I told you when the world would end
Your love was safe with me"

She said,
"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me...

prolly Jay-Z feat. Beanie Sigel and Scarface "This Cant Be Life" produced by Kanye.  Jigga spits a real hot verse about his baby that he had on the way, but his girl had a miscarriage.  But Scarface really steals the show, heres his verse:

"Now as I walk into the studio, to do this with Jig'
I got a phone call from one of my nigs
Said my homeboy Reek, he just lost one of his kids
And when I heard that I just broke into tears
And see in the second hand; you don't really know how this is
But when it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib
So I called mine, and saddened my wife with the bad news
Now we both depressed, countin our blessings cause Brad's two
Prayin for young souls to laugh at life through the stars
Lovin your kids just like you was ours
And I'm hurtin for you dog; but ain't nobody pain is like yours
I just know that heaven'll open these doors
And ain't no bright side to losin life; but you can view it like this
God's got open hands homey, he in the midst.. of good company
Who loves all and hates not one
And one day you gon' be wit your son
I could've rapped about my hard times on this song
But heaven knows I woulda been wrong
I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta been love
It wouldn'ta been life, it wouldn'ta been us
This can't be life"

most rap songs that'd come to mind have been mentioned, One Life, You Never Know etc. Also

many Mobb Deep songs (Hell On Earth, Cradle To The Grave, Animal Instinct etc, those songs are sad in a very cold and nihilistic way)

also i gotta point out

Brotha Lynch Hung & Mr. Doctor - Deep Down - I don't think any song ever visualized the sadness and the depressing reality of the so often glorified 'gangsta life' better to me...if i would ever label anything 'real shit', then this
