Lil Wayne has so many good ones in his various songs. I like “I’m so high I could eat a star” and “big stacks my pockets on kreatine”

“I’m a crazy ass star like a fuckin asterisk”
“The yellow diamonds look like a fridge full of Coronas”
“When they see the boy they hyperventilate, I got em running after me like I’m about to win the race”
“I come after the money like Wednesday comes after Tuesday”
“Headed to the top like I’m tied to a rocket, baby”
“Yellow diamond ring lookin like a little Funyun

“They cannot see me, they are like Stevie”
“Weezy from the Dirty South yea the dirtiest bitch, but I’m clean like a virgin in detergent and shit”
“So sweet – make her wanna lick the wrapper, so I let her lick the rapper”
“In the game I’m manning up like Eli”
“I am sittin on the clouds I got smoke coming from my seat I can play basketball with the moon I got the whole world at my feet playin touch football on Marijuana Street or in a marijuana field you are so beneath my cleats get high, so high, that I feel like lying down in a cigar roll me up and smoke me cause I feel like dying”
