I always believed in the bigger picture
If I could get them niggas to listen outside my core then I can open a door
Reintroduce ‘em to honesty, show ‘em that they need more
The difference between the pretenders and the Kendrick Lamars
And so, I took the fall like the son of the Lord
On the cross, dyin’ for that fake shit you niggas bought
For the past decade, if I should pass please let this be my last essay
Therefore I write from the heart
Apologies to OG’s for sacrificin’ my art
But I’m here for a greater purpose, I knew right from the start
I’m just a man of the people, not above but equal
And for the greater good I walk amongst the evil
Don’t cry mama, this the life I choose myself
Just pray along the way that I don’t lose myself
This is for the nigga that said that hip-hop was dead
I went to Hell to resurrect it, how could you fail to respect it?
Lettin’ Nas down, I got the phone call quietly I mourned dog, I let Nas down
Yeah, and on this flight may I never lose sight, fuck it.
Realist shit I heard in a long fucking time.
Refunds checks, use that to float,
Mom gets depressed, falls in love with the next maniac on crack, use that to cope..
Make a man smoke a whole sack of dope,
Writing rhymes trying to bring back the hope,
Tried to ride the storm out and crashed the boat,
Could of drowned but I grabbed the rope.
And there go you, and there go you,
and there go you, selling me dreams and telling me things, you do.
And there go you, and there go you,
and there go you, selling me dreams and telling me things, you knew.
Say, you got what I want, I got what you need, how much for your soul and I, I hate rich fellas, god dammit, Because I never had a lot dammit.
Fellas cant front on that flow you got, but every fucking verse, how much doe they got.
Don’t quit now, hear my shit and try to switch now, know you felt that just now, Know you felt that shit just now.
Ain’t there more to you? Don’t it ever get boring to you? I realised deep down, you’re a coward, getting high from the power, fucking more to you.
Saw through you and made me felt ashamed that I played the game, Not for more money like Damien waynes, wanted the respect but it came with fame, I just wanted love, it just wasn’t the same.
Probably kill for another claim to fame, my brain saying yeah at least he ain’t insane. least he ain’t insane, you ain’t crazy mother fucker your just scared of change. That’s new, maybe that’s true, but listen here, I got a bigger fear, one day i become you, I become lost and I become heartless and numb from all the mirages and henny’ don’t really kill the pain no more.
Now I’m Cobain, with a shot gun aimed, at my brain because i cant maintain no more, tad bit extreme I know, money can’t save your soul,
And there go you, and there go you,
and there go you, selling me dreams and telling me things, you do.
And there go you, and there go you,
and there go you, selling me dreams and telling me things, you knew.

You’ll know me, keeps chump change, for keeps sake,
Takes kindness for weakness, ain’t no time for this state.
Flex muscle on anything ain’t a beat safe, ain’t nobody on the jump but yeah I keep my feet placed.
How can you be her favorite, them thing he give up is basic,
I guess things seem better when I turn my back and take a vacation.
Please don’t be fooled by the quantity of these heathens,
When your air head crush only Speaks bullshit when breathing.
I lost loved ones because they couldn’t deal with me,
Cherish whoever still with me though the merit’s been killed in me.
Normally it’s just me and my lonely mind,
Everyone storm is different so this forecast is only mine.
Fans recognize my misery uplifted me,
Shifted me to my epitome, guess the curse is a gift to me.
Maybe its serendipity, maybe it’s weighing on me physically,
Maybe I should man up and tell God not to solicit me.
Been medicated, meditated, sedated, hated,
Character assassinated, all theses years I masqueraded,
Hard headed, if it was on my mind I had to say it,
Tongue on the devil’s pitchfork to see how disaster tasted.
Rap is fabricated, rappers are so exaggerated,
Wouldn’t be scared of the truth if they weren’t castrated.
Grab a mag, spray it, surrounded by people that shoot it before me,
That’ll unconditionally love my beautiful ugly.
You’ll know me, keeps chump change, for keeps sake,
Takes kindness for weakness, ain’t no time for this state.
Flex muscle on anything ain’t a beat safe, ain’t nobody on the jump but yeah I keep my feet placed.
How can you be her favorite, them thing he give up is basic,
I guess things seem better when I turn my back and take a vacation.
Please don’t be fooled by the quantity of these heathens,
When your air head crush only Speaks bullshit when breathing.
No one has ever been expected to exceed greatness,
struggling most nights, insomnia over takes the faithless.
This my playground, ball point like accuracy,
If I’m out my mind how can I be in-sanity?
Not confident or conceded, just sitting here undefeated.
Rhys doesn’t kiss and tell,
Rhys don’t wish you well,
Rhys is beyond your logic, his word play is off the Richter scale.
F5 tornadoes, thunderstorms and car sized hail..
the Synergy of his mind and the end of the world plays well.
I’m been writing forever, but forever seems short,
When memories become a blur and thinking about it hurts,
infinite amount of mind ink, I could reach the end of the universe with just a thought.

*you dont know, whats in store*
Falling asleep the weeknd is so mellow.
