Rappers in Despair
4 min readApr 26, 2020
This poem is comprised entirely of the lyrics of rappers whose despair led them to their death.
Empty, I feel so goddamn empty
I just need a way out of my head
How long does it take to live a life?
I’m a bit surprised that I’m even still alive
Mixing uppers and downers, practically suicide
One day this shit’ll kill me, but I guess that it’s OK
I’ve lost all faith in a world so full of hate
I haven’t yet found a good reason to be awake
