...lets start a weekly thing...quote the lyrics you felt most off whatever music you listened to this week..wether it was the first time you heard the song or the 49th...if theres s'thing that jus left you ready to start a conversatin with yourself...or jus made you happy..share...
these are what stuck with me last nyt..

talib : "the question was rhetorical; the answer is horrible"
mos def: "alot of things have changed..alot of things have not"
DMX: "What is it about who i am that makes me so incredible; what is it about what ive done that makes it unforgettable.."
Jay-z: " Only God can judge me..so im gone. either love me, or leave me alone"
Erykha Badu: "if we were made in his image, then call us by our names"
(this is from the song 'on & on'...plse feel free to tell me what u think shes talking about...i think shes referring to black ppl being ref. to as 'negroes'...anyone else???)
i just discoverd another one in the song i just posted...(one more chance..biggie..)
"i'm not the only client..im the player president"

i keep reading posts about how mashada ain't as intresting no more so...heres our challenge...n PLEASE lets be above commercial shyt with no depth...

great idea ...like a week in review of what we been all bumpin....aight ...ma shyt is like off the hook..jst heard it like a sec ago...its off the chains ...ba none other than NAS
..off the illmatic album

"It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's death
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express throuh song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell"

what yall think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tight..tight..BUT...

The music business hate me
Cause the industry ain't make me
Hustlers and boosters embrace me
And the music i be makin
I dump down for my audience
And double my dollars
They criticize me for it
Yet they all yell "Holla"
If skills sold
Truth be told
I'd probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli
Truthfully
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain't been rhymin like Common Sense
When your sense got that much in common
And you been hustlin since
Your inception
#### perception
Go with what makes sense
SinceI know what i'm up against
We as rappers must decide what's most impor-tant
And i can't help the poor if i'm one of them
So i got rich and gave back
To me that's the win, win
The next time you see the homie and his rims spin
Just know my mind is workin just like them
(The rims that is)

argue now!
:-*

Big, slide into the mode, time to drop a load
My life is goin downhill like some cardboard in the snow
My bank account is frozen, I
don't think that I can get out this hole
Feel like the figure four leglock
Like the jury went away and then they came back deadlocked
I can't move, I can't eat, I can't even breathe
Can't even buy a decent sack without the stems and the seeds
No trees, no P's to ease the stress of everyday livin
But homeless people gotta suck it up wherever they livin
The unforgiven or the unwillin, live a life of sinnin
And expect to be as pure as an infant in the beginnin

[Interlude]
But what about repentance?
What about the tension?
What about you eating dinner in the devil's kitchen?
But what about repentance?
What about committing the same sin
over and over again and again and ah..

'church' by outkast....

anything that comes out of Nas' mouth is quotable

D.G.E.T. · (#9 (**permalink**))

while ya'll be quoting 'em
nigga I'm tottin' 'em
tryin to come up and sh1t yeah I'm casing 'em
for that paper I'm chasin then
I walk like I talk
hard sh1t ta break brick, stone and rock
while ya'll be on mashada round tha clock
I straight pull, aim, and cock this glock
ta shoot knowledge up and down your block
drop rhyme packages like santa, check your sock
I get love though from nairobi to bangkok
I got my girl virgin checkin up on stock
rocking mics outta sight like Mr. Spock
I got love but you gets none for hate
talkin bout whatcha get is whatcha take
you dem niggaz in suits creepin over my gate
to take from my peoples when it's dark and late
but I see you one day meetin' your weight
no more harambees now everybody knows you is fake
you say you're sorry but it's too late
you in prison huggin and kissin yo date
you hear somebody laughin' f.uck it's fate.

seems like most of you are rap fans so a bit out of my element but will post my lyrics tu. I am feeling

Open Arms - Tracy Chapman

i'll be open with my heart
i'll let you in
i'll be open with my thoughts
i'll be your best friend
if you need some attention
baby these are open arms
open arms open arms open arms open arms

dont have all the lyrics but this here is a fantastic song. infact almost all her songs are killer..
