Overall Meaning

The lyrics to KOHH's song Sappy explore the duality of happiness and sadness in a relationship. The chorus, where he repeatedly declares "I'm a Sappy," suggests that while he may come across as emotional and sentimental, he is comfortable expressing his feelings openly. He acknowledges feeling both happy and lonely, and happy and sad in the same breath - this suggests that he is willing to embrace the ups and downs of a relationship.

The verse delves into his personal life, where he talks about his attraction to a woman who is "like a living Barbie doll." He seems to appreciate her body and attributes, calling her "my type" and admiring her style. He also mentions indulging in drugs, with the line "roll up the green behind me" pointing to marijuana use. The verse ends with a reflection on his mindset towards life, where he says that he dreams of being a "NEET" - someone who is not in education, employment, or training, and is content to do nothing but breathe in the freedom of existence.

Overall, Sappy displays KOHH's introspective and honest approach to his music. The song blends English and Japanese lyrics, showcasing his fluency in both languages, and his rap style complements the melancholic and reflective mood of the track.
