Post Malone & Gunna Vent Their Feelings On “I Cannot Be (A Sadder Song)”

Arguably the most highly anticipated arrival of this weekend’s new music dropoffs came from Post Malone with his 14-track twelve carat toothache album, featuring appearances from The Weeknd, The Kid LAROI, Fleet Foxes, Doja Cat, and Roddy Ricch.

The soon-to-be father of one also nabbed an appearance from Gunna – who’s due to be stuck behind bars until at least 2023 – on the record’s sixth title, “I Cannot Be (A Sadder Song),” following his collab with the Planet Her hitmaker on “I Like You (A Happier Song)” immediately before.

“How am I free when you hold me so tight? / How can I beam when you blocking my light?” Posty ponders at the beginning of the song. “I cannot be, what you want me / What you want me, what you want me to be.”

For his part, Wunna raps, “Got a custom diamond ring / And no, he don’t got a wife / Got a large amount things, I can’t total the price / I told her I don’t need her, she can leave out my life (Life) / You only get one try, but if it’s lit, we go twice (Twice).”

Quotable Lyrics:

Got a custom diamond ring
And no, he don’t got a wife
Got a large amount things, I can’t total the price
I told her I don’t need her, she can leave out my life (Life)
You only get one try, but if it’s lit, we go twice (Twice)
