I'm spaced out, I don't know what you heard about,
so I just laugh it off, watch me sign that contract,
don't give a fuck about no chick,
got a whole lot more to do on my do list,
I'm backed up, like a flash drive,
a couple of years ago I was contemplating suicide,

until I heard that Eminem, now I'm just popping happy pills like m&m's,
I know you see me swerving, better take off that mask again,
no fake friends, I call my ex girl Mercedes, because she really drove me around the Benz,
just swerving, no pretend, to all those who hate, I got that medicine,
that remedy, find me in the kitchen, cooking up the perfect recipe, for disaster,
no actor, everything I do is real, so you know the deal, I got that banks, that's word to Uncle Phil,
still stuffing money under my mattress, because you can't take it with you in that casket,
you can't get into my tax bracket, still making a racket, so if life is like a safe, you know I crack it,
with one swipe of that plastic, like magic, like, pulling out a rabbit,
this is just a habit.

I'm spaced out, I don't know what you heard about,
so I just laugh it off, watch me sign that contract,
don't give a fuck about no chick,
got a whole lot more to do on my do list,
I'm backed up, like a flash drive,
you can never say I tried, because all I do is try,

so that's a touchdown, goal line,
my heart exploded like a land mine, that's C4,
I know you never seen me like this before,
watch me pick up all tiny pieces off the floor,
and glue them back together, not quite perfect, but at least it's working,
but was it worth it, oh well, I can no longer tell,
started from heaven but somehow made my way into hell,
no turning back, it's like I'm under a spell, I need help,
I know you see me swerving, I'm hurting,
time to end it once and for all, close curtains,
operation in progress, please don't disturb the surgeon,
murder,

I'm swerving, in and out of conciousness,
feeling so high, like a rocket ship,
space bound, there's only one way out,
don't look down, you might drown,
this is just me, but newfound.

I'm spaced out, I don't know what you heard about,
so I just laugh it off, watch me sign that contract,
don't give a fuck about no chick,
got a whole lot more to do on my do list,
I'm backed up, like a flash drive,
so it's either do or die,

Like a playground, I just like it slide,
got me washed away, like, by the tide, so by the time, you realise,
I was there, I will have disappeared, gone,
my money too long, my heart too strong, Teflon,
bulletproof, no room to improve, I told you to choose,
you lose, tried to play it cool, tried to play it smooth,
didn't work, maybe I'm blessed with this curse,
trying to keep my feet on Earth but gravity is pulling me on the reverse,
swerve, I just missed my chance to make things clear, so I still got smears,
it's all just smoke and mirrors,
it's nothing but some lyrics,
I wrote on Facebook,
I know you've been sleeping on me, so wake up.

I'm spaced out, I don't know what you heard about,
so I just laugh it off, watch me sign that contract,
don't give a fuck about no chick,
got a whole lot more to do on my do list,
I'm backed up, like a flash drive,
this is my time.

I know next to nothing about rap and I recognised most of the motifs and themes running throughout this song. It's not bad, but it is bread-and-butter. Throw in some allusions to your own experiences, some non-detailed but still specific anecdotes, to give your listeners some point of reference and relatability.
