Cause he killed himself
Oh it definitely was him. People on here often swing from opinion to opinion but I have always believed he was the greatest lyricist.
Who can top something like this?

Bob Dylan, Mark E. Smith and cohen are all better tho
Townes Van Zandt was the best.
>Bob Dylan, Mark E. Smith
Both are overrated hacks.
>cohen
Cohen's greatest power was in harmony, not songwriting. He can't top Drake in that.
Connie Converse is underrated. The only person ever to think of rhyming Squirrel thing with quarrelling.
Bob dylan by far
Drake is good but he never wrote something as lyrically as Visions of Johanna or anything from Blonde o on Blonde really
Yikes
Isaac Brock is better but not by much
I hate autocorrect
Meant to say lyrically creative
Leonard Cohen
Derek William Dick, you farts.
No, Isaac Brock is good but he's essentially a poor man's David Thomas.
Just like Bob Dylan is a poor man's Leonard Cohen
And like Leonard Cohen essentially being a poor man's Nick Drake
>Who can top something like this?
Kanye.
Nick Drake is the most boring artist that ever existed.
It's Robert Ashley if his stuff counts as lyrics
OP here, used the wrong name and pic sorry
Van morrison
A loaded gun won't set you free
/So you say
No.
are you fucking retarded?
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
I got chills just copypasting that
>dude I'm sad lmao
Why do people like this hack?
