Rendering text with multiple lines in pygame

Question

I am trying to make a game and I am trying to render a lot of text. When the text renders, the rest of the text goes off the screen. Is there any easy way to make the text g

Building on previous answers I made a somewhat comprehensive blit text function I can use with a single short command:

def blittext(text, **kwargs):
    #blit text into screen, uses defaults and works for multiline strings
    fontface = kwargs.get('font', 'PressStart2P-Regular.ttf')
    b = kwargs.get('bold', False)
    fontsize = kwargs.get('size', 30)
    color = kwargs.get('color', (255, 255, 255))
    topleft = kwargs.get('topleft',(w/2,h/2))
    center = kwargs.get('center')
    textsurf = kwargs.get('surface',surface)
    maxwidth = kwargs.get('width',w)
    try:
        myfont = pygame.font.Font('/storage/emulated/0/games/' + fontface, fontsize)
    except:
        myfont = pygame.font.SysFont(fontface, fontsize, bold=b)
    x,y = topleft
    charwidth = myfont.size(' ')[0]
    charheight = fontsize + 3
    
    if center:
        for l in text.splitlines():
            mytext = myfont.render(l, False, color)
            textrect = mytext.get_rect(center=center)
            center = (center[0],center[1]+charheight)
            textsurf.blit(mytext,textrect)      
    else:
        for line in text.splitlines():
            for word in line.split(' '):
                mytext = myfont.render(word, False, color)
                textrect = mytext.get_rect(topleft=(x,y))
                wordwidth = textrect.width
                if x + wordwidth >= maxwidth:
                    x,y = (topleft[0], y + charheight)
                textsurf.blit(mytext,(x,y))
                x += charwidth + wordwidth
            x,y = (topleft[0], y + charheight)
