Nevertheless, my answer explains why some people find a bit sad that today, people in most countries all seem to resonate with the exact same artistic expression. And that this expression which resonates with so many people involve lyrics like :
"My daughter a G, she saw me kill a nigga in front of her before the age of two"
Which to me don't really sound so happy. So if that is really what moves most of the world today, yeah I am a bit sad.

- joe5150 6y agoif you are that uncomfortable with depictions of violence in song, you will need to reckon with the entire long history of popular music, because it has been a subject in demand since long before now.
- rsynnott 6y agoThis was a major hit in 1980, in basically all anglophone countries. You maybe... don't want to listen too closely to the lyrics. To be honest I'm kind of surprised radio stations are still willing to play it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Stand_So_Close_to_Me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Stand_So_Close_to_Me Makes the lyric you quote seem fairly innocent, really.
