This song is literally what I listen to all the time when I'm so depressed, RA for life!

[@christospheonix1567]

How many times have I cried to this song... And still gets me in the feels every time I listen.

[@THEmajnik]

Same... Especially to Possessed's verse. It just unlocks something in me whenever I feel like I need to let all those bottled up emotions out...

[@christospheonix1567]

​@majnik7634 I hear ya man. The truth hits hard sometimes... ❤️ 🙏 🫡 🤲 🙌 Keep grinding bro.

[@hiramabiff8809]

One of the best songs I ever heard.

"Slowly losing strip from my grip. Fingers slipping from the edge of the cliff, falling into the endless abyss". Ill, indeed. Keep representing. Peace!

Haven't heard RA in a while, but this track helped me through some pretty dark times. Best from New England -

[@chasm671]

I really like RA's more serious songs like this one. It shows they have real substance and bad experiences to draw on as inspiration, and their more irreverent horrorcore lyrics aren't just pretence. These are truly real geniuses.

[@mynamejeff3799]

Nothing but a masterpiece of lyrical craftsmanship 👌

[@Abracastabya]

“... walking through a wilderness of endless winter, weather reflecting my mood...” Possessed is literally the best rapper ever, his lyrics are always so damn quotable - with Eminem I feel like he’s just running out of words to say and ways to say them (which ISN’T bad for all of you Stans out there needing this disclaimer, it just means he’s beginning to slow down), but Possessed just feels like a bottomless pit of wisdom who can just flip a switch on at any time and make an amazing track. I just want him to come back and dominate rap, take the candy from these babies; eat everything, even the wrap!

[@jaffa3717]

Possessed beats Eminem by miles. It's a shame how underrated and relatively unknown he is

[@Abracastabya]

@@jaffa3717 That’s the understatement of the century my friend!

[@mikko3]

No ones talking about eminem and you just bringing him up for no reason, what are you venting about

[@ishaking6278]

​@@jaffa3717Eminem smokes Possessed by light years. Flow, cadence, rhymes, entendres, literary devices, storytelling... Eminem beats Possessed anyday.

[@turul44]

@@ishaking6278 Story telling? You heard broken window? That whole story is a double entendre with anagrams and incredibly descriptive story telling.

every lyric on this explains where I'm at at the moment.Love Rhyme Asylum

[@r.d.b.941]

Possessed travels frequently but was renting an apartment here in south London across from my grandparent's from like 2015 to 2020. She also owns the property he rents and as a resident myself I would occasionally see him and his girlfriend over there inbetween their trips. They have a dog too. A pit/rot mix. The kind you would always see in DMX's music videos and album artwork. I've spoke to him several times but mostly didn't want to disturb his privacy. But after building some rapport with him I finally asked him if he was working on new music, specifically a solo project and he affirmed this to be true and even invited me in and we listened to several mix and mastered tracks. I probably heard about 20+ unheard Possessed verses in total that he has been piling for the last decade. The album is going to be called 'Exorcisms' and will feature 18 to 20 new songs. He told me of atleast 5 features including Reign, Arkaic and Respek BA, Immortal Tech and Diabolic and the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep. I've not heard their verses but I did here Prodigy on a back n forth chorus on a song called 'Street Struck'. There was also a song called 'It's On Sight' which is an epic 5 minute diss track aimed at the commercialization of Hip-Hop. He name drops and disses like every rapper ever. Parts of it are hilarious and others are just ruthless. And one called 'The Miseducation of Paul '. It was about his life growing up in the working class trap. He interpolates M&M's 'Rock Bottom' chorus. I didn't see any album artwork. It is supposed to be released soon.

What does the lyrics say at the minute 0:41? Is it "often is/ of endless / a Venice winter weather reflecting my mood'? I'm not positive what possessed says in this part, thank you.

Chinese whispers say they were important figures in possessed's life that had cancer and died from it, thus the "wish i shared the same fate as" line. But thats just rumors from other comment sections, who knows what the truth is.
