I want to die
The benefits of life don't outweigh the negatives
Whenever I am happy I become sad because there are people I can't make happy

Chester was raped in childhood so no wonder he wrote what he wrote. His lyrics were Truthful but delivery was cringe.

Holy fucking shit, I remember you

I don't think I'll make it. My heart is all fucked up due to all the baggage of the psychological and the spiritual. So only death will end my 4chan shitposting career.

What's your escape plan anon?

This is psychological pessimism. This >>20862608 canon is Philosophical Pessimism. I really wish my family tell me to fuck off so I can live without the baggage "attachment" and "responsibility"

Wow. I know I have read that before when I was younger, but reading it again now as a thirty something year old man in a dead end job that is struggling with the days makes it something very powerful. It is so grim.

British hip hop goes hard though. Rhyme Asylum has the best wordplay of any rapper or collective I've ever heard. The dweebs who refuse to listen because they can't "take them seriously" because they have a British accent while the vast majority of hip hop has a different (black) accent are deluding themselves
