He sings: “Bloodshot, blue eyes, I recorded two tonight/ One is for all those I love, this one’s for the suicide/ Everything is blue inside, everyone at you and I/ People won’t say how they feel about you until you die.”

Last week, Machine Gun Kelly and Trippie Redd released a mini documentary about genre: sadboy ahead of its release on March 29.
