Florida rapper Rod Wave shook the internet after posting a song about suicide and deactivating his social media.
The song was titled “Nirvana.” The title alone is alarming as it references the 90s Silverlake grunge rock group responsible for the song, “Smells Like Teen Smith” and whose lead singer Kurt Cobain died by suicide on April 5th, 1994.
Though the artist has deleted the song, it has survived on YouTube after fans screen recorded it before he deactivated his presence on social media.
Lyrics in the song read like a farewell note to fans:
“If you hearing this it’s too late/ I been writing this since Tuesday/ Today’s Friday that means it’s dooms day/ Tried to fight the pain it ate me alive/ Sade to say I lost the battle, against my mind.”
“You should be happy for me no more suffering/ We all got a day. I guess we see each other then/ I hope that heaven’s real and someday we can reunite/ And don’t be crying for me, I lived a wonderful life.”
The artist posted the song on Friday, December 10th, eerily striking a nerve with concerned fans.
“Told the world how I was feeling/ my worst decision since this fame and all these millions/ they treat my different, tired of fake smiles and broken hearts it’s f### the world/ f### the money, and the cars, the jewelry, and the girls.”
The hardest portion of the song to listen hits at the end. He shares that his depression has been an ongoing experience since his childhood.
“I been this way for a while, lost as a child/Momma always telling me smile, she so in denial/Sick, wishing I had some help/ what the f### make a n#### go off and blast himself.”
Fans took to social media to express their concern.
