Recently rapper Kid Cudi checked himself into rehab to seek treatment for depression and suicidal urges. He spoke about his battle with mental illness and decided that checking himself in would be best for both himself and the people around him. Last month, Cudi lashed out at Kanye West and Drake for not working with him.
Quote:
The rapper uses Cudi’s outspokenness about his depression to fuel the flame in what is apparently a diss track. He says,
“You were, “The Man on the Moon,” now you just go through your phases. Life of the angry and famous.”
Quote:
the reception to these harmful lyrics has been leaning in Cudi’s favor; with Drake fans understanding that no matter how good the beat is for the song, “Two Birds, One Stone” is incredibly inappropriate and demeaning. You can’t turn something as serious and life-threatening as suicide and depression into a meme.
Quote:
Two Birds, one stone: You were the man on the moon, now you go through your phases,
Life of the angry and famous,
Rap like I know I'm the greatest and give you the tropical flavours,
Still never been on hiatus,
You stay xan and perked up so when reality set in you don't gotta face it
So when reality set in you don't gotta face it
I'm down 200 in Vegas but winning life on a daily basis
It seems like nobody wants to stay in my good graces
I'm like a real estate agent, putting you all in your places
Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy
Is you crazy?

The moon has phases, and Drake is suggesting that like the moon of which Cudi is "the man", his depression is also a phase and now he's just living life sadly and angrily until the next phase comes.
