Great Lyrics Discussion

Burburls

Post what you think are some great Rap lyrics. Ill start
Eminem from D12's Rap Game.
Can't tell me s**t about the tricks of this trade
Switchblade, with a little switch to switch blades
And switch from a six to a sixteen inch blade
s**t's like a samurai sword, a sensei!
s**t just don't change to this day
I'm this way, still tell that ut-slay itch-bay
Uck-say my ick-day, 'scuse my ig-pay atin-lay
But uck-fay you ig-pay

I think that these lines sum up everything Eminem is about. Some serious word play going on here.

Always liked Inspekta Decks first verse on triumph..... I bomb atomically.... And so on!!

Brian

So much on my mind that I can't recline,
Blasting holes in the night till she bled sunshine.

Great lyrics in this between krs one,oc but to me lord finesses verse is killer :

My decision is precision, i'm I'll in ways you can't vision
I got niggaz worshippin lord finesse like religion
You can't **** around, you're kiddin
You don't want no collision, you better fly south like a pigeon
Good riddance, i flip flows you can't imagine
I break down your flintstone style, into fragments
So pay attention to the man rappin
Don't think that it can't, i'm livin proof, it can happen
I reign supreme logical, verbally, i drop it in ways
That you never dreamed possible
So lyrically, i personally figure
That my harvard style, is too deep for you nursery niggaz
When i clutch the mic, i'm comin rough and right
I build more than them workers on construction sights
I'm skilled at it, i'm illmatic
So yes answers your question if you ask me do i still have it
I'm the realest, the illest
Comin out the woodwork, like them homos in the village
But seriously, i'm got the remedy
If i's at the bottom of the toilet
You niggaz still couldn't **** on me
Originally, it's the same the vet
I'm on that get rich list, but they didn't call my name yet
I make it special like a prom night i bomb mics
While other brothers are old news like walter kronkite
It's critical, you got these xerox individuals
But word life, it ain't nothin like the original
I wreck kids, that's my theory and perspective
When it comes to hip-hop, i'm on the case like detectives
You better step to the next man
Cause the greatest soccer player couldn't kick it like finesse can

One of hip hop's greatest verses in my opinion!

The only man a ho wait for
Is the sky-blue Bally kid, in '83 rocked Tale Lords
My Memorex performed tape decks, my own phone sex
Watch out for Haiti bitches, I heard they throw hex
Yo, Wu whole platoon is filled with raccoons
Corner-sitting wine niggas sipping Apple Boone
This ain't no white cartoon
Cos I be ducking crazy spades
The kid hold white **** like blacks rock ashy legs
Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet?
Why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept?
Stand up, you're out of luck like two dogs stuck
Ironman be sipping rum, out of Stanley Cups, unflammable
Noriega, aiming nozzles stay windy in Chicago
Spine-tingle, mind boggles
Kangols in rainbow colors, promoters try to hold dough
Give me mine before Po wrap you up in so-and-so
I ran the Dark Ages, Constantine the Great, Henry the 8th
Built with Genghis Khan, the red suede Wally Don

3rd verse of Exhibit C.

They call me Jay Electronica - **** that
Call me Jay ElecHanukkah, Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElecRamadaan, Muhammad A'salaamaleikum
RasoulAllah Subhanahu wa ta'ala through your monitor
My Uzi still weighs a ton; check the barometer
I'm hotter than the mutha****in' sun; check the thermometer
I'm bringing ancient mathematics back to modern man
My momma told me "never throw the stone and hide your hand"
I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans
That's why the people got my back like the Verizon man
I play the back and fade to black and then devise a plan
Out in London, smoking, vibin' while I ride the tram
Givin' out that raw food to lions disguised as lambs
And, by the time they get they seats hot
And deploy all they henchmen to come at me from the treetops
I'm chillin' out at Tweetstock, building by the millions
My light is brilliant

Mos defs speed law great delivery too

Clear like a megaphone
Pretty nigga heart skipped the metronome
Rocked the Trump Tower to the terrordome
Poor house to pleasure domes
Soprano, alto, tenor to baritone
MOS DEF one of the illest that you ever known
Rock steady baby, you a stepping stone
Smash your foundation into pebbles
My words leave your nerves unsettled
You take it to the next level down
Looking like a circus clown
Cats like you can't even get a pound
Worldwide from the river to lakeside
My stage show stay live, make the sound man stage dive
I cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball lines
I'm home 'fore I'm done with all nine
Got you shook like a fault line
Come all shine and get tarnished
Brooklyn got your pay roll garnished
They form a huddle
Whisper like they want trouble
I melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles
Make the proud-hearted leave on the humble
Black steel in the hour
Assemble my skill form my power
My poems crush bones into powder
You mumble like a coward
I'm Mos Def, you need to speak louder

Primes - "no matter" some deep lyrics and the track is fire!

I'm trapped in the mind state gettin fly like magic rugs
Doin and sellin drugs and praisin the thugs
I was programmed this way so it ain't my fault
Too late to turn back I might change an assault
A whole lot to get into with little to do
Hit girls right the first time so it's deja vu
Payed the price my whole life, my attitude's a reciept
Easily learnin life's ill's that are so hard to teach
When I was crazy young I had ton's of fun
Nowadays life's a bitch or a son of one
Maybe to get this money I just really don't have the knack
Maybe I'm on borrowed time that I can't pay back
Or maybe I'm caught up in some Elm Street Dream
And to get the hell out I must wake up by any means
But how can a war be one, if no one had a fort
Drinkin flamable solution, returnin to this thought

[Chorus:]
No matter how loud I pray, God don't hear a sound
That's why I put my joint to the sky, let off a round
Cause can't no other man
Feel this black man's pain but another
With no dough, goin insane

True story
Call me Thorburn, John H., staff sergeant
Marksman, skill in killin', illin', I'm able and willin'
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage a village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerrillas
This ain't no real war, Vietnam ****
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
Soothin' drug abusin', Vietnamese women screwin'
Sex, gambling and boozin', all this **** is amusin'
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
I don't wanna go home where I'm just an ordinary human being
Special Op, Huey chopper gun ship run ****
Gook run when the minigun spit, won't miss
Kill ****, spit four-thousand bullets a minute
Vic the Charlie, hit trigger, hit it, I'm in it to win it
Get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, I been it
The killing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
A wizard with weapons, the secret mission, we 'bout to begin it
Government funded, behind enemy lines
Bullets is sprayin', it's heatin' up a hundred degrees
The enemies the North Vietnamese, bitch please
Ain't no sweat, I'm told, "Be at ease"
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we 'bout to hit some trees
Nail the road, it broke, crash land
American man in Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
Take a swig of the Whiskey to calm us
Them yellow men wearin' black pajamas, they wanna harm us
They all up on us, bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
Body parts flyin', loss of limbs, explosions
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines
Pray to the one above, it's raining, I'm covered in mud
I think I'm dyin', I feel dizzy, I'm losin' blood
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
Black, Whites, Asians, people of all types
I must've died, then I woke up, surprised I'm alive
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
I escaped the war, came back, but ain't escape Agent Orange
Two of my kids born handicapped
Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it, they had it
My son died, he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
'Cause in life, God take, God give

Bragging bout the episode we just had
A shot of Hennessy didn't make me feel that bad
I'm usually a true firm believer of bad karma
Consequences from evil will make your past haunt ya
We tryna conquer the city with disobedience
Quick to turn it up, beefing if we ain't got the CD in
But Jeezy still playing and our attitude is still, nigga what is you saying?
Pull in front of the house that we've been camping out for like two months
The sun is going down as we take whatever we want
I hit the back window in search of any Nintendo
DVDs, plasma screen TVs in the trunk
We made a right, then made a left, then made a right
Then made a left, we was just circling life
My mama called, kicking it
I should have told her I'm probably bout to catch my first offense
With the homies
But they made a right, then made a left, then made a right
Then another right
One lucky night with the homies
And this is the art of peer pressure
This is the art of peer pressure.

- Kendrick Lamar
