This song was written after Shaggy 2 Dope read urban legends about “Szomorú vasárnap” that claimed that more people have committed suicide to that song than any other song. This song samples both a 1936 Hungarian recording of the song and Billie Holiday’s English cover. During an episode of his podc...
[Verse 1: Shaggy 2 Dope]
Ey, tell me where the fuck that antifreeze at. I need to
Fill my cup up to the brim, add some Popov, but just a splash
I take it to the dome, and that shit put me on my back
And I woke up an hour later from an involuntary nap
Now I’m in an ambulance, ass out, no pants, goin’ mach nine
Jumped up front, grabbed the wheel, cut it, rolled about 10 times
I crawled out the wreckage, damage free. I don’t believe this
I’m tryin’ to die, but I can’t, Betty White, bitch!
Hit up a restaurant and ordered Clorox soup
And just sucked it all up through my missin’ tooth
Man, wait, I was jarred, awake, hella wet and warm
No restaurant, no soup, but mad blood was pourin’
Apparently what happened was, at least I was told
Shoved the Glock in my eye and proceeded to unload
Brain hangin’ down my back like Lil Uzi purse
Why can’t I die? I just keep gettin’ hurt
[Chorus: Billie Holiday & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Gloomy Sunday (Uh)
With shadows I spend it all (Guess what?)
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all (I had enough)
Gloomy Sunday (Uh)
Gloomy
[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
Now I’m walkin’ down the street, liquified brains, splintered bones (Ouch!)
Boilin’ hot chicken noodle bleach shootin’ out my stomach, through my mouth
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It ain’t sinkin' my Titanic (Nope!)
‘Cause I gotta fuckin’ go. I intend on reachin’, God damn it
I’ve unloaded on police, gang bangers, wore meat pants around pit bulls
Swallowed Xanax bars with Adderalls, all the time, by the fistfuls (Nom nom nom nom)
I had my homies slit my throat, hehh, so I bled out, hehh, nothin’ big (What?)
Then they hacked me up to pieces, fed me to the pigs, but I still lived
So I took a’ Uber downtown (Ooh), found the tallest buildin’ (Ooh!)
Told some dude I’m goin’ up and jumpin’ off, boy said, “Won’t that kill him?”
Laughed in they face (Ha!) Off the roof, I swan dive
Triple lindy all the way down, how the fuck did I survive?
Now this one here has took so many youngsters in they prime, so
Jackin’ your dick off while you’re chokin’ yourself? I think I’ll give it a go
Then I fill my car with homies, go the wrong way on a one-way
And it seemed like so many more besides me got their own gloomy Sunday
[Chorus: Billie Holiday & Shaggy 2 Dope]
Gloomy Sunday (Uh)
With shadows I spend it all (My time's spent)
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all (I’m dead)
Gloomy Sunday (Uh)
Gloomy (Yeah) Sunday-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
With shadows I spend it all (My time's spent)
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all (I’m dead)
Gloomy Sunday (Uh)
Gloomy (Yeah) Sunday-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Very interesting story about that song. That song is actually three different versions of “Gloomy Sunday” in one. It’s fuckin' awesome, and I’ll explain to you how… There’s a version from like 1920 or something fro...
