It's a heart-wrenching moment that captures the sense of loneliness and isolation that can come with the loss of a separated family.

The third verse shifts the focus to poverty, as the MC reflects on the pain on the ills of living in poverty. "cuz if I ain’t rap they see exactly what I be; drugged up, bubbed up looking like zombies. Needle in my arm like a hospital IV," he rhymes, capturing the raw emotion that comes with living in poverty.  

Throughout "Lonely Rebel," the lyrics are set against a haunting Psychedelic funk rock melody experience that underscores the emotional weight of the song. The singer's voice is raw and passionate, conveying the pain and resilience of the lyrics with every note. Ultimately, "Lonely Rebel" is a powerful and deeply moving song that profoundly speaks to the human experience.
