[music] Post A Verse/Rhyme/Portion of your favorite song

If that verse doesn't get you ready for war I don't know what does. The entire song in that case.

 

Truly, words to live by.

 

you gotta sing high, then even higher
gotta look sensitive, mess up your hair
but not like you meant to, sing things like ‘you’re beautiful’
and then repeat the line. and then repeat the line.
repeat the line...

 

They think they're crazy but they aint crazy lets face it, **** basically
they just playin sick, they aint **** They aint sayin ****.. spray'em Fifty
A to the K, get in the way I'll bring Dre and them wit me
and turn this day into ****in mayhem you stayin wit me?
Dont let me lose you, Im not tryin to confuse you
when I let loose with this uzi and just shoot through your Izuzu
You get the message am I gettin through to you?
You know whatz comin you mother****erz dont even know do you?
Take some Big and some Pac and you mix them up in a pot
Sprinkle a little Big L on top, what the **** do you got?
You got the realest and illest killaz tied up in a knot
The Jugganautz of this rap **** like it or not
Its like a fight to the top just to see who died for the spot
You put your life in this - nothin like survivin the shot
Y'all know what time it iz az soon az Fifty signz on this dot
**** what you know about death threats, cuz I get alot
Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the towers
some cowards ****ed with the wrong building they meant to hit ours
Better evacuate all children (50 Cent: woo)- nuclear shower
theres nothin spookier, you're now about to witness the power of ****in Fifty

 

sayin' goodbye at the cemetary
tho' memories fade
I got your name tated on my arm
so we both ball till' my dying days


-2pac

 

It's a poem that can be a hymn, and I love this verse:

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

 

profound impact on me as a child

 

I smoke 2 joints in the morning
I smoke 2 joints at night
I smoke 2 joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright

I smoke 2 joints in time of peace
And two in times of war
I smoke 2 joints before I smoke 2 joints
And then I smoke 2 more

 

Canned music, canned music, playing on the radio
Canned music, canned music, with out a doubt it doesn't go
Favorites on the jukebox are only half the show when it's
Canned music, canned music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said I feel like dancin', She feel like stepping out
I took her with the van, where the band was on the stand, playin'
Live music live music

She got us on the dance floor, to me it was a sight
I never seen my baby movin', like the moves she made on me that night
I did not have a chance the way that music made me dance, it was ah
Live music, live music

The rhythm was all around us, we was really steppin' out
My baby said I'm livin' for this music, I asked her what it's all about
She said I'm just a silly girl, this stuff has got me in a whirl
It's just some live music, live music

And that was the night she left me, danced herself into my memory
My baby had to leave me for the drummer, I guess I'll never solve that mystery
I think I've learned my lesson just don't get too near the band when it's
Live music, live music

A little before she left me, I asked her what it's all about
She said she feel like dancin', she feel like steppin' out

There are men lost in jail
Crowded fifty to a room
There's too many rats in this cage of the world
And the women know their place
They sit home and write letters
And when they visit once a year
Well they both just sit there and stare
See how we are
Gotta keep bars in between us
See how we are
We only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are
Oh see how we are

 

I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a ***** he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some punk that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

 

But I do know one thing though,
B!tches they come, they go,
Saturday through sunday monday,
Monday through sunday yo,
Maybe i'll love you one day,
Maybe we'll someday grow,
Till then just sit your drunk ass on that f***in runway hoe...

 

Don't have to blow twenty thou' to get to know honey's style
Show her the town, steal her heart, no money down.

 

Isn't it a shame this ain't a movie?
Then U could rewrite my every line
I'll take all the blame, yo baby, I'm sorry
But I didn't like the way U were, so I had 2 make U mine

 

I walked away and heard the sound
The sound of my own heartbeat
My Heart is beating all alone
I found out
I'm not the one you're looking for
I'm not the one you wait for
It's easier to look away
You
You don't see me
But I know
You
You're all I need
I held out my empty hand
And I touched the gentle wind
I know I'll forget this all someday
This feeling would be gone
Goodbye
That was all I could say
There's so much more to say
I wish you'd call my name
Take my hand
But again,
My heart will break again
Every time I say " I love you"

- So much more to say

 

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not.

 

Words to live by my friend

 

Did his momma really tell him that?

 

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
Doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone
