Alex Was Right: Sayzee Takes Aim at Power and Corruption

TLDR: Sayzee returns with “Alex Was Right,” the newest Mondays Suck drop, using the weekly series to call out rampant pedophilia and sex crimes, corruption, power, and the class divide dominating headlines.


Mondays do not just arrive. They kick the door in, flip the calendar, and demand you pretend you are functional. Legendary Canadian lyricist Sayzee is meeting that weekly disrespect with a sharper counterpunch this time, using his ongoing Mondays Suck series not just as a discipline exercise, but as a vehicle to address the injustices clogging headlines. Under the I Hate Mondays banner, he continues his self-run streak of writing, producing, and packaging a new track every Monday, but this latest drop carries more than routine energy. It carries accusation.

The newest instalment, “Alex Was Right,” is self-produced and politically wired. Following last week’s self-produced “Ringworm,” which hit like a blunt jolt of momentum, this record turns its attention outward. Sayzee frames the track around the growing public focus on the Jeffrey Epstein document releases, systemic corruption, and the widening gap between the ultra-rich and everyone else. The title references Alex Jones, long known for loudly pushing conspiracy narratives, though Sayzee uses the name less as praise and more as a cultural checkpoint, pointing to how subjects once dismissed outright are now sitting in mainstream conversation.

Lyrically, the track leans into that tension. Sayzee raps, “I ain’t trying to rap about conspiracies, it wasn’t worth it / but now with all the proof out, got the ammunition to knock these goofs out,” drawing a line between past dismissal and present documentation. His frustration is not aimed at one party line either. Republicans and Democrats both fall under scrutiny, portrayed as different faces of the same insulated class structure. He even calls out FBI director Kash Patel with a well-deserved jab. The question running underneath the track is simple and uncomfortable: why have the powerful named in major scandals remained untouched?

That anger sharpens in the song’s chorus: “I only shoot rich people with $1000 dishes, playing hangman, we gotta hang these politicians / feed them to the millipedes in million dollar mansions, how they still breathing? That’s the question that I’m asking.” It is hyperbolic, dark, and intentionally abrasive, the language of someone watching consequences stall while outrage cycles online.

Is it Monday again? How was the Goyim Bowl? Well I guess ‘Alex was Right,’ because obviously he was. They called him crazy, said he needed fresh air, maybe less Wi-Fi. Now look. Patterns everywhere. Coincidences lining up a little too perfectly. This week’s drop is for the screenshots you never deleted, the dots you weren’t supposed to connect, and the group chat that suddenly went quiet when you said ‘wait… hear me out.’ Is it a song? Yes. Is it a warning? Also yes. Is this getting shadowbanned? Probably. New Monday. New drop. Trust your instincts. Or don’t.”

If the launch of Mondays Suck with Ringworm established the format, “Alex Was Right” establishes the scope. The series is not just about productivity. It is about documenting the mood of the moment, one Monday at a time.
