i speak facts not emotions
The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin', like who on top of this?
People was tusslin', arguin' and bustlin'
Gangstas of Gotham hardcore hustlin'
I'm wrestlin' with words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin' what will transmit
The scribes can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the narcotic
Strength in metal and fiber optics
Where mercenaries is paid to trade hot stock tips
For profits, thirsty criminals take pockets
Hard knuckles on the second hands of workin' class watches
Skyscrapers is colossus, the cost of living
Is preposterous, stay alive, you play or die, no options
No Batman and Robin, can't tell between
The cops and the robbers, they both partners, they all heartless
With no conscience, back streets stay darkened
Where unbeliever hearts stay hardened
My eagle talons stay sharpened, like city lights stay throbbin'
You either make a way or stay sobbin', the shiny apple
Is bruised but sweet and if you choose to eat
You could lose your teeth, many crews retreat
Nightly news repeat, who got shot down and locked down
Spotlight to savages, Nasdaq averages
My narrative, rose to explain this existence
Amidst the harbor lights which remain in the distance
very few syllables rhyme perfectly in this verse most of it is imperfect rhymes
but mos makes it work with his rhythm and his cadence
just say each line out loud non stop and u can hear how it flows or listen to the song.

Not the best example but I always loved Cudi's last verse on Alive even though most of it didn't rhyme...
I watch the sun collapse
And took up in the clizzoud
I am the lone wolf
Go where I wanna
Let the moon shine be the guide to the lizzight
Even when I stray away the light never left me, uh
I learn to follow my instinct
Blinded by the light
Rather that than the evil
Feelin out of place in a room full of people
Try and be the same, but you know you're not a sequel

what cudi was doing is mostly using imperfect rhymes basically just rhyming the syllable sound

When you understand flow (like Mos is talking about) you can make almost anything rhyme seamlessly.

yeah as long as they have the same syllable sound they don't have to rhyme perfectly at all.
it is about u flow the syllables in rhythm.
