Outkast: ATLIENS
cause, I’m cooler than a polar bear’s toenails, oh hell…
Dead Prez: Tallahasee days:
Yo, whoever said life was beautiful lied, this shit is hell
Notorious B.I.G : whats beef
Beef is when I see you, guaranteed to be in I.C.U
Tupac:Keep ya Head up
Baby don’t cry, you gotta keep your head up- even when the roda is hard never give up.
Salt N Peppa: None of your Business
Now who do you think you are
Puttin’ your cheap two cents in?
Don’t you got nothin’ to do
Than worry ‘bout my friends? Check it…
I can’t do nothin’, girl, without somebody buggin’
I used to think that it was me, but now I see it wasn’t
They told me to change, they called me names, and so I popped one
Opinion’s are like assholes and everybody’s got one
Kanye West: Gone:
Even your superficial raps is super official
Immortal Technique: Industrial Revolution
The bling-bling era was cute but it’s about to be done
I leave ya full of clipse like the moon blocking the sun
my metaphors are dirty like herpes but harder to catch…
Like an escap tunnel in prison, I started from scratch
Immortal Technique: Reverse Pimpology
Look, most people are only players cause they got played
And have not, let go of that, shit since the 7th grade
Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks, doesn’t it?
But you shouldn’t fuck up someone else’s life because of it
Someone did your mother like that, that’s why you fatherless
Before jail or racist cops, that’s what the problem is
Immortal Technique: Obnoxious:
I’d rather get fired, than quit-
I get unemployment you work
and we makin the same shit.
Nas: The World Is Yours:
‘m the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I’m deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from home
Outkast: Da Art of Storytellin’ part 1
but in spite all of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above
talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up
I said what you wanna be, she said, “Alive” (hmm)
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, I got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, I came back home
to find lil Sasha was gone
Her mamma said she with a nigga that be treatin her wrong
