Life Goes On By Bizzy Bone is damn sad... even sadder and more out there is Murda Me by Bizzy Bone. That shit is so bizarre. Another BB joint like that is Nobody Can Stop Me Now.
You can't forget Self Conscience by Nas and Prodigy. It's one of the only joints in existance where Prodigy comes classic... and it's way deep, with a beat you just can't top.
Tupac's Lil Homies is the ultamite sad song with a sad beat though. That shit goes right to the heart of it.
"I remember, when you was just a little G
flirtin with death, playin russian roulette
Screamin kill me
Hey there young nigga what you smoking on
Mad at the world cause you came from a broken home
Love to mob plus your squad is sick
A bunch of adolescent young niggaz spittin' major shit
Tell me, young nigga if you died let me know
Would your heart feel pain, watching as your mother cried?
Would all your homies ride ?
Or would they all get high, and talk about how you died?
Young niggaz on a mission to complete
Getting g's, packin' heat, bringin' havoc to the fuckin' streets
Nobody knows why he took a 4-4 and unloaded on the whole (buck)front(buck) row
BUCK! BUCK!
Try to tell him but he act like he don't know me
Pull out his pistol and show
My lil homies"
