Spose - Why Am I So Happy? Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Spose:]
You should see these Nike SB’s that I copped online
I turned the AC on then I wrote a hot rhyme
The girl who made my sneakers sobbin’ all the time
Indonesian sweatshop makin’ pennies and she’s nine
Showered half an hour took a sip up out the faucet
A mother in Nigeria, I wouldn’t wanna be ya
No clean water, so her daughter died of diarrhea
I typed a post about my government, was critical
And they didn’t arrest me even though it sounded liberal
In Russia, punishment for that isn’t reciprocal
You question ‘bout the man, then your lifespan’s minimal
When I was six, my biggest worry if I can reminisce
Was that I’d have a Super Nintendo but not a Genesis
Six year old in Rwanda blood what he’s wearin’
I made babies out of wedlock
I read Ladybug Girl then get stoned in the basement by the bedrock
She defied arranged marriage, her betrayed parents
Stoned her to death on the terrace with the cleric
I took a bite of pizza told them, “Give the chef my accolades”
I eat a couple slices then I threw the other half away
A child stomach squealing, begging, he ain’t eat in days
He collapsed with a thud, sounded like a 808
I don’t go to church or the mosque, or the synagogue
If there is a God, he isn’t in my thoughts
A Kurd didn’t fit their definition of religion
Got beheaded in front of his children who lay in prison
I saw a tweet a girl wrote
It said, “I hate school, I’d rather skip it, party, take body shots, and break rules”
School girl got her body shot by the Taliban
Women die to be educated out in Pakistan
[Hook - Renee Coolbrith:]
If I know how it’s goin’ down
Why am I so happy now?
I don’t know
[Verse 2 - Spose:]
I just filmed a video with Bosch
He just bought a drone, flew over a soccer game, we looked at it, looked fuckin’ dope
Iraqi kids playin’ soccer live a humble home life
Mom screams as they got killed by a drone strike
Although neither represent my section
I voted the lesser of two evils in the last election
Some countries only got one candidate
Question them and you can pick which limb they’re gonna amputate
I got police protecting my township
Dial up the number, Crown Vic, come around quick
In Mexico, cops crooked east of Buena Vista
Juan had to join the cartel just to protect his sister
I love my daughter and the smile on her face
I told her she gotta be thirty-five before she start to date
Syrian girls abducted by the caliphate
They’re fourteen, sold as sex slaves in the Islamic state
I feel so alive bumpin’ dead rappers
Life could be like lice, it’s a head scratcher
“Why am I so happy?”, I don’t gotta answer that
“Why are you so miserable?” Is the question that I need to ask
[Hook - Renee Coolbrith:]
If I know how it’s goin’ down
Why am I so happy now?
I don’t know

Spose Why Am I So Happy? Comments
This is so amazing. What I call subject matter right hur. I get mocked and considered stupid for being happy most of the time. I got more reasons to be happy than to not
I send this to all the people that complain about there life and do nothing about it
LOVE YOUR SHIT SPOSE KEEP ROCKING YOOOOOOOOOOOO
First song I ever heard by Spose back in 7th grade
Super smart lyrics! Spose u rock.. Could you imagine a rhymesayers Colab with this dude from Maine... Magic it would be!
Prolly the realest shit out there and it doesn’t even have 100k views. It’s obviously bullshit that this type of content doesn’t get much attention, but I can’t do anything bout it.
Idk how you can even put a thumbs down to this I guess maybe it's to real I just don't know I guess people don't know real talent when they hear it 😂
Why is this song being slept on ??
It's sad how a song about wrapping blunts and getting lap dances from "bitches" is more popular than this truthful and meaningful song...
Desiigner - Panda? Why? Why don't these guys get to the charts?
this track is awesome, I love rhymes that make you think. ish on all that gold chains and whips garbage.
Tell me not, Spose look like Aaron Rodgers in the album art
This is beautiful. Thank you again.
this song needs a 10 hr loop
Amazing, I was turned onto Eyedea by my girlfriends 16 year old son, from there i learned about Watsky, Atmosphere, and then, just today, Spose. I grew up hating rap... ya know, cause it wasnt rock n roll and all they sang about was money n guns. I really missed the boat on this one. There really is great rap music out there, but the TV will never give it to ya. They just want to continue the consumer culture, and mainstream rap does an amazing job of that. Thank you for posting. This song really puts your "shitty" life into perspective!!
Atmosphere And eyedea are what I grew up with. Shit never gets old just louder and more fluent
Holy shit! I get this! I am this too
There's also Weird Al, mc frontalot and lonely island.
This is amazing hands down.
When I've had a hard day, I throw this on. Thanks Spose
I love this song.
This song is too rushed, Spose slow this song down. Take a chill pill!
this is why I hate almost all popular music because theyre never concerned about the lyrics now, now its just about the beat and that's why spose isn't as popular as he should be, because in this era of rap its all crap now and I feel like spose portrays this sterotype of "modern rap" in his song 'pop song' and actually its spose and the flobots that got me into rap, before I thought it was just all Kanye west bullshit and I still hate that kind of rap to this day. lets make spose, watsky and every other rapper like that popular. Lets get rid of this modern rap sterotype. theres a reason rap stands for rythem and poetry.
I agree, well said man
DAM RIGHT SON LYRICS IS POETRY
@G- Master yeah man!
I saw a tweet a girl wrote: it said "I hate school- I'd rather skip it, party, take body shots and break rules."
School girl got a bodyshot by the Taliban, women die to be educated out in Pakistan.
+Isaac Clarke "If i know what's going on why am i so happy now I don't know"
I don't know
I want Spose and P.O.S. to do mixtape together
Amazing song. A lot of perspective. Its cool, remembering spose claiming to hate political rappers
after exactly 5 months exactly Spose has 11,200 in this song
the beginning tune is insane with headphones on
God, this song is depressing AF.
it depends on perspective, its supposed to show gratefulness.
Don't take anything for granted homie.
Love you Spose! Never stop making music! I'm gonna work with you on day! Love the intro on this song!
how is spose not famous???
To be fair, as much as I like spose, Dicky is a far better rapper, but spose sings better and the productions are even imo
They're all great artists, and Watsky and Spose are in the same area, while Lil'D borders something else, constantly dipping into more traditional rap compared to these two
Also, atmosphere is famous lol
Arod 4804 Couldn't have said it any better than that. Well put. Agreed.
Arod 4804 because he markets in Maine
Arod 4804
idk....but this the most heart breaking & the truest song that I think I have heard...
I am so happy to be born in a country w/ food, clean water, freedom to express myself & the right to vote & so many other rights that r afforded to us & countries around the world but not, unfortunately, the majority...
People overlook nerd rappers, it a poorly marketed art form with a huge demand
Unreal song!! So clever!
This is why I'm so happy.
Hip-Hop
I dream of a collab with DeM AtlaS!
Fucking incredible
Damn... Man! Why can i take this offline.
The beat is awesome
but the lyrics are amazing
Renee has an awesome voice. Love this song and this album
Amazing song spose!
This album blows your already fantastic albums and mixtapes out the water, holy crap.
Perfect Ryan, always.
Batting a hundred so far. Keep those thumbs up.
Uhhh, that saxophone though, yaass!!!
Nice dude, this is fucking sick
Fucking dope
