About This Track

'Sonny' by Bakar is a 2018 hip-hop/rap track from the album 'Badkid'. The lyrics are self-lacerating and confession-like, with the singer framed as trapped in their own belief system, watching “paint” and glass imagery stand in for ongoing damage, while admitting to being a nuisance. There’s a restless, self-interrogating pressure in lines that move from apology to resignation, then back to a stubborn insistence on how their mind keeps steering them towards collapse. The song reads like a case of self-sabotage rationalised as doctrine.

"Sonny" is a track by Bakar, from the album Badkid, released 21st May 2018. The track is 1:25 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Bakar.

Lyrics

Sonny

Sorry to mislead
I am tied up in my very own creed
The paint will go on to splatter
And this glass will continue to shatter
As long as I'm my own
It's knotty
I'm not suggesting that as a hiccup
It's just my head has suggested that I give up
I go on to find I am the nuisance
Like for instance, you seem to have lost your virtuous desire
I'm no liar, just impure
Just stay away, I implore
After all, the sixth pill wouldn't settle this
You are now entering this doleful abyss
Where the dejected thrive
And where I am so alive
See I cannot hide
Pretty please
May you please decide
I'm on the boat floor
Delighted to part from this shore
Yet there's always more
Sorry to mislead
Welcome to my creed
