Favorite Lyrics

haha really? is there any specific reason? or just general dislike? his new album pretty much sucked balls, but i really liked organic music, and A sample and drum machine.
 
Very true. I don't HATE him... but I tend to skip over his tracks real fast. So much better music out there.

Also, I have to know who that song with the Bert and Ernie conversation in the beginning is by, and the name of the song. Some guy named Benefit? I could tell just by reading the lyrics that guy has an outrageous flow, I really wanna hear it.
 
he is DEF overplayed. and not as amazing as NS makes him seem. but i still really like that verse. but hes def a rapper that has like 3-4 tracks ill love on an album, and the rest will be bleh.

kind of unrelated but has anyone heard commons newest album? ive heard it blows compared to his older stuff
 
Gah, the names make it so hard to find... searched for "benefit so sick blogspot", which is a pretty surefire way to find underground hip hop, and all I got was people saying they're "so sick" of nothing being done to "benefit" starving kids in Africa on their blogs. Torrents and megadownload had similar issues... oh well.
 
Sit around and watch the tube,but nothing's on

Change the channels for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a dog in heat

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to my own cell

And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going blind

And I smell like shit

I got no motivation

Where is my motivation?

No time for the motivation

Smoking my inspiration

Sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling

Call me pathetic, call me what you will

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one she's got

When masturbation's lost its fun

You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored

I'm going blind

And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

I was slipping away to paradise

Some say,"Quit or I'll go blind."

But it's just a myth

I think everyone should def check out cloud cult, they are othere worldly. Best underground band out there!
today is a good day to flex the muscles of the weary
a miracle is a miracle even when it's ordinary
we will walk on the water even though it seems scary
if someone will show us the way

i shook hands with the man who honestly thinks he's
the grandson of Jesus with the penchant for pinches
he served us communion of cola and twinkies
guess everyone has their own view

he stood on his soap box and told us a parable
of a man with eyeglasses so small they're unwearable
and the moral of the story is it all looks terrible

depending on what you look through, *what* you look through

he said "do unto yourself as you do unto your neighbour
it's not an eye for an eye it's a favour for a favour
and it's okay if this world had a billion saviours
'cause there's so many things to be saved

take my words with a boulder of salt
or blame it on your devil
always the scapegoats fault
we all point fingers when it comes to a halt
can somebody show us the way, show us the way...
 
liscense to ill, i promise i wont turn the whole world to cloverfield.

on the real, yeah i will, ill destroy it and then rebuild , just for thrills

sometimes you got to do it, sometimes to show the tough love, no one is above

what you are hearin i do, no matter who else include, im saluted

*I probably got all kinds of words wrong in the last line

 
One of my favorites recently has been Insight, the guy is a lyrical mastermind (on the level of Del, Chali 2na, and Qwel) plus he does all his own beats (which are dope as hell). He even has one album where he does sic different voices/flows/styles so it sounds like a supergroup but it's just him. Here's a sampling...

 
Did NS disable embedding without the button? God dammit... one more time...

IF I OWNED A MIDGET by BENEFIT. haha i love this song, it always puts me in a good mood. i have a midget kid in my class and i thought about him when i heard this song. now i call him little gordo.

(verse 1)

Life's got me mad

But if I had a midget I'd be glad

To watch him jump around on my nintendo powerpad

He'd have a big head short legs and long torso

The name that I give my pet midget is little Gordo

I'd teach him tricks like backflips and side kicks

When company came over he'd perform and get tips

While I'm eatin at night, in the kitchen he'd be able

To get the food scraps that I threw under the table

If my midget was ever bad and acted enraged

Then I'd take him to the bathroom and put him in his cage

But If he kept acting up and really made me sick

I'd hang him upside down and poke him with a stick

Little Gordo would be good most of the time though

He'd like to wear a helmet and run around yelling Kaiyo

I'd take him for walks in the park on the weekends

And if he saw other midgets he'd say Can we be friends

He'd only need a 3 foot coffin when he was dead

And he'd be in the guiness book for the world's biggest head

What a funny little fellow, but don't call him a shrimp

Or he'll attack your leg cause Gordos a tough gimp

He'd have a pogo ball that he'd bounce on for hours

And dirty little fathead Gordo would'nt take showers

When Halloween came, he wouldn't be a chump

Gettin all the candy goin round as a tree stump

(scratching/chorus)

Midget is a midget

Midget Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Midget

Midget is a midget

Hey you guys- Word

Midget is a midget

Midget Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Midget

Midget (wo-wo-wo-wo-word) is a midget

Like a midget in a urinal, I was gonna have to stay on my toes

(verse 2)

Sometimes my friends would chase Gordo with a gun

It be fun

Because midgets wobble when they run

They're so close to the ground and so easy to kick

They're so slow in the head and so easy to trick

Gordo could do somersaults his special thing

At the fair I would make him enter mudwrestling

Sometimes he'd wear stilts and pretend to be tall

Then I'd kick him over- and then i'd laugh at him fall

Silly little Gordo, just be yourself

I'd put wood on his head, and he'd just be a shelf

He'd do funny little dances but that's irrelevant

At the beach Gordo got attacked by pelicans

He had a girlfriend once, but she was an ogre

It didn't last long cause he couldn't fuck her sober

Gordo had a problem, Gordo wet the bed

so i'd make him wear diapers on his ass and his head

He'd have to clean up his own cage himself

And if he lost a little weight he'd be a keebler elf

He'd really be something, my mangled little munchkin

Plus his head would be larger then any big pumpkin

This perfect little fool would make a perfect footstool

Sometimes I'd kick him in his head and say "bitch be cool"

I'd have a great life, I'd be happy I know

If I only owned a little pet midget named Gordo

(scratching/chorus)

 
This is how I represent I rock the mic 110 percent
It's intimate, I keeps the party moving like a imigrant
Binary Star, superstar its no coincidence
Every verse is intricate, this ain't a circus in a tent
We don't get down like them clowns and the kids
I'm use to being indegent, who said its all about the Benjamin's?
I wanna fortune, I wanna make music and hit the lottery
Fortunately my music is never watery
That's how its gotta be, as far as I can see
Maybe you should grab a telescope to see my veiw its like astronomy
It aint all about economy
so the fact that these wack emcees is making G's don't bother me
Honestly, my number one policy is quality
never sell my soul is my philosophy
High velocity, lyrics like Nastradamus make a prophecy
I told you cats a long time a go it ain't no stoppin' me
I bomb your set that's not a threat its a promise
Got everybody ridin' on my wagon like the Amish
But still I never claim to be a big rap star
So no matter who you are its still Allah who act God
Better believe this, most rappers can't achieve this
I'm bad to the bone but x-rays can't even see this
See I'm strategic I letcha money talk bullshit walk
While I keep it rollin' like parapalegics
Whoever's on the microphone let it be known
You in danger, I got next(necks) like the Boston Strangler
You ain't never heard an emcee speak like this
And Rodney King ain't never felt a beat like this

Senim Silla:Get a grip on yourself cuz you ain't grippin mines
Life and times, outta lies rap guys outta line careers I finalize
collide with this seranade cyanide you apply for Silla's high
The thing that makes killa's high
Hang 'em high by the gold link necktie
And drain 'em dry into tempest eye now you ain't God
so you ain't that high wanna be aeronautic
And get swatted for actin' fly
Masterminds crafty rhymes, I'll rip from drafty lines
that chill spines like the Alpines, runnin up on some natural binds
A close encounter of the worst kind
Go ask the cats that heard I'm lyrical turpentine
Who wanna taste mine I gotta carry hill on the wasteline
God give the bassline so let the phlegm fly
I survive seven-five through the M-ine, when I forcefully Jedi
On the wooze I red-eye, heads fly bet I, sharpshoot dead-eye
Snooze crews bed bye, Mary lou flippin' I pistol pump grippin
I stompin, I semper-fi represent, temper high, signify
Walkin round ain't nothin similar
Like a Gemini, in this perimeter sublimin-ie
Cats be cut dry more why I wet guys
I be rainin precipitation 'til it's one inch your neck high
Less fly kids misguide, without an alibi
Who said you rap tight? You come unraveled by
Slice of this rap scalpel, guys quick as apple pie
I'm learned in old schools of thought and shit you baffled by
Conceptual intellectual fireslide
Silla oxide rhymes flow like a rockslide
you musta forgot I, have your ass knockneed and cockeyed
Bruised, battered, broken up, walkin, cut dipped in peroxide
Death to the Pop Fly

My Last Words Megadeth

My life's on time,

But again my sense is late.

Feel a mite unsteady,

But still I have to play.

Six to one's the odds,

And, we have the highest stakes.

And, once again I gamble with my very life today.

Highly polished metal,

The oil makes it gleam.

Fill the terror chamber,

Your mind begins to scream.

Your life is like a trigger,

Never trouble till you're squeezed.

Now you crack a smile,

As you give the gun a tease.

Place the pistol down,

Now give the gun a spin.

Soon as the spinning stops,

Oh no, the game starts in.

A hateful way of vengeance,

A bit of playful sin.

Load another bullet,

Now the second round begins.

A couple grains of powder,

A couple grams of lead.

A touch against the trigger,

A touch inside the head.

Take another drink, and

Raise the last bets.

Think about my last words,

They might be what I just said.

A click comes from the hammer,

That couldn't drive a nail.

Sense the numbing cold blue,

Or the red of Hades' grill.

A fraction of a second,

Do you lose, or maybe still,

Pass it to the left,

And collect your mighty kill.

Add another bullet,

The third round begins.

Soon as the spinning stops,

Oh no, the game starts in.

Please, no I.O.U.'s,

No markers for death.

Does anybody play? Anybody,

Somebody, anybody play.

You, you, next victim, you next to die.

You, you, next victim, you next to die.

You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.

You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
 
"Don't get smart or sarcastic
He snaps back just like elastic
Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics
We break wise guys just like matchsticks"

"You were a still born baby, your mother didnt want you but you were still born."
"So I guess life is mean, and death is the median, and purgatory is the mode that we settle in."
 
Sun set and sun rise I'm my own personal light show

Flipping switches...moving from basin bottoms to plateaus

The Earth...manipulates itself beneath me

I stand still...stagnate. Can't kill...this lagged state

Life...manipulates itself around me, but I'm dead still

Upright...but dead still

Word is still born...I will not stoop to the level of the stoop that y'all chill on

If the building's boarded up and the children of the corn

-er Liquor Store don't want to kick it no more...

because holes have filled the wall, sneakers are scuffed & toes have become sore

I saw y'all walk from the hood of tough luck

Yeah, if these walls could talk they wouldn't shut the fuck up

Jump in your pick up truck. Drive from the mountain range

Cash the chips in on your shoulder, cut your losses, die young, count the change

How strange...you think these clouds look lovely?

Smoke signals...manipulate themselves above me

No symbols...are below me enough to overlook

I know you read my every move, I wrote the book

Mind not the blemishes that are on my premise. Endlessness is my "to be continued..."

Notice the nervousness in my footnotes when being interviewed

Shaking uncontrollably. "How you doing?" "Not bad...how about you?"

Brought it right back to me like "What've you been up to?"

I don't talk to freaks. I even ignore my neighbors who live down the stairs

I walk the streets. And they don't know that I'm famous in 2000 years

So I say shit loud in their ears and I spit a wretched verse in their face...

Disrespecting their personal space

In a split second, curtains and drapes get closed

They think they've shut me out, but I can see their ugly mouth in the shape of "O"s

I'd break their windows with a stone that has a note attatched

that says "I hate Jim Crow, and here's a poem to let you know the haps:"

"I've got a golden axe and I chop cherry trees down

Dead to this world. Bury me now."

I am from a distant place that sits and waits for my belated time to come

but its too late I've missed my fate. I "F" with the deaf, blind and dumb

My father taught me one thing...how to fire a gun

I don't bother...this is survival for fun

I have become the most sinister sin city slicker

cynical dim witted trixter

critical shit grinning hipster

Whisper...to my earhole...tell me not to be fearful

Be careful

not to make any...sudden...movements

Show me your sole...I like to study shoe prints

You've stepped to me before! I can recognize them stubby toes!

I left them guys with bloody clothes. For a second time...nobody knows

The pain I've seen. Nobody knows the pain I've seen

Nobody knows why I've got a bloody nose or how they made it bleed

Sage Francis- Climb Trees
 
I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
Sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize...

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit

Shut your fucking mouth
I don't care what you say
You keep talking
Talking everyday
First you're telling stories
Then you're telling lies
When the fuck
Are you gonna realize

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I dont wanna hear it-Minor threat
 
well in celebration of digging up an old thread of mine, here are some sick lyrics i have been digging

Dead Wrong - Notorious B.I.G. (just biggies part)

Relax and take notes, while I take tokes of the marijuana smoke

Throw you in a choke - gun smoke, gun smoke

Biggie Smalls for mayor, the rap slayer

The hooker layer - motherfucker say your prayers

Hail Mary full of grace.. smack the bitch in the face;

Take her Gucci bag and the North Face

Off her back, jab her if she act

Funny with the money oh you got me mistaken honey

I don't wanna rape ya, I just want the paper

The Visa, kapeesha? I'm out like, "The Vapors"

Who's the one you call Mr. Macho, the head honcho

Swift fist like Camacho, I got so

Much style I should be down wit the Stylistics

Make up to break up {singing in background} niggaz need to wake up

Smell the indonesia; beat you to a seizure

Then fuck your moms, hit the skins til amnesia

She don't remember shit! Just the two hits!

Her hittin the floor, and me hittin the clits!

Suckin on the tits! Had the hooker beggin for the dick

And your moms ain't ugly love; my dick got rock quick

I guess I was a combination of House of Pain and Bobby Brown

I was "Humpin Around" and "Jump-in Around"

Jacked her then I asked her who's the man; she said, "B-I-G"

Then I bust in her E-Y-E (Yo Big, you're dead wrong)

{Notorious B.I.G.}

The weak or the strong, who got it goin on

You're dead wrong

The weak or the strong, who got it goin on

You're dead wrong

The weak or the strong, who got it goin on

You're dead wrong

The weak or the strong, who got it goin on

You're dead wrong

"I don't care what nobody say"

"I don't care what nobody say"

"I don't care what nobody say"

"I don't care what nobody say"

{Notorious B.I.G.}

When I get dusted, I like to spread the blood like mustard

Trust it, my hardcore rain leaves you rusted

Move over Lucifer, I'm more ruthless, huh

Leave your toothless, you'll kibbitz, I'll flip it

Tears don't affect me, I hit 'em with the tech G

Disrespect me - my potency is deadly

I'm shootin babies, no ifs ands or maybes

Hit mummy in the tummy if the hooker plays a dummy

Slit the wrist of little sis

After she sucked the dick, I stabbed her brother with the icepick

Because he wanted me to fuck him from the back

But Smalls don't get down like that

Got your father hidin in a room; fucked him with the broom

Slit him down the back and threw salt in the wound

Who you think you're dealin with?

Anybody step into my path is fuckin feelin it!

Hardcore, I got it sucked like a pussy

Stab ya til you're gushy, so please don't push.. me

I'm using rubbers so they won't trace the semen

The black demon, got the little hookers screamin

Because you know I love it young, fresh and green

With no hair in between, know what I mean?
 
Simon & Garfunkel's Homeward bound gets me every time

"Home, where my thoughts escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me"

And these are probably my favorite of all time, Winter's Love by Animal Collective

"I love this life in winter time

There's frost cakes in the carpet

In winter time I have no legs

Two stumps of meat below me

A false snow fall could ruin my day

Its mask hung from the street wire

And winters love

Where could she be

She's warming in my pocket

Just a calm and modern day

An early bird in morning

Rush to her then rush to him

Am I a better person?

Evening, I wont give up

The box is better said

I pulled the boy out of his box

And made that boy a man"
 
Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed.

On bended knee is no way to be free

Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently

All my destinations will accept the one that's me

So I can breathe...

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole

Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know

A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul

And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go

Holding me like gravity are places that pull

If ever there was someone to keep me at home

It would be you...

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought

They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought

I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts

I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere

Underneath my being is a road that disappeared

Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead

Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be

Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting

I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me

Guaranteed
 
I'm hot, you're cold

You go around like you know

Who I am, but you don't

You've got me on my toes

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

C'mon girl

I fell so fast

Can't hold myself back

High heels, red dress

All by yourself, gotta catch my breath

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Walk in the room all I can see is you

Oh, you're starin' me down I know you feel it too

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Yo, we're burnin' up in this place tonight

Your Brothers sing it loud and we're feelin' right

Get up and dance, don't try and fight it

Big Rob is for real and that's no lie

Stop, drop and roll and touch your toes

It keeps on burnin' up, more and more

I got JB with me playin' it down

Come on boys, let's bring the chorus around

I'm slippin' into the lava

And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under

Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?

'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Burnin' Up- The Jonas Brothers

;)
 
jay-z come and get me. BEST SONG IN JAY-Z'S CATALOG

I remove your roof nigga let the sun shine in

Thirty-eight waist, enough to put one nine in

Really a thirty-six without the gun I'm thin

but when the gat is tucked, I'm fat as fuck

Ignorant bastard, I'm takin it back to day one

No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun

For niggaz that think I spend my days in the sun

well here's the shock of your life, the glock not the mic

Homey I'm not into hype; trust me, I'm still street

You still fuckin up then trust me I still creep

Yeah I know the platinum chain be lookin real sweet

but reach and I bury niggaz sixty feet deep

S dot Carter turn rappers into martyrs

Seperate fathers from they daughters, why bother

I'm a crook like you, I took like you

I disobeyed the law threw out the book like you

How dare you look at Jigga like I'm shook like boo

I keep the fifth with me nigga, come and get me..

COME AND GET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
