Couple bars...

Today I do a simple post, full of simple quotes

‘Cause too many times, hot rhymes are defined by similes and punchlines

I mean, don’t get me wrong, those are fine

But what about the kind that speaks to the soul instead of the mind?

Might not make you say oooooh or press rewind

Instead, you simply say, I was just there

Or he’s speaking what I’m living ‘tween the bass and the snare

Or this is my life that I’m hearing on these tracks

Or he’s feeling what I’m feeling I can hear it in his raps

Funny when you realize you’re not alone

You find a friend in the person on the microphone

Something you can relate to in something they wrote

And it wasn’t complicated, it was just a simple quote - Just K

My prayers seem too long
I fall asleep before the ending, don't even get to say Amen - Andre 3000

They say a white man’s yes is a black maybe - Common

And they say it's the white man I should fear
But it's my own kind doing all the killing here - 2pac

Niggas fear what they don't understand, hate what they can't conquer - Nas

Do you really want to win or just look good losing? - Phonte

Sometimes you’ve gotta stand by your failures to recognize your success -Joe Budden

See Martin See Malcolm

See Biggie see Pac see success and its outcome
See Jesus see Judas see Caesar see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide is a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified - Jay-Z

Picture me inside the misery of poverty,
no man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived - 2pac

Standing on stage in front of thousands
Don't amount to me not havin my father
That's real talk, I know a lot of y'all got 'em
But you need him way more when you gotta go without him
And I'm without him, but that's life y'all
Sometimes you gotta learn to swim with no lifeguard - Lil’ Wayne


I remember being kicked out the house
'cause I looked just like you
Said I'd be nothing but a crook
just like you…

But dog I can't see it at all, sh*t
We never kicked it at all
We never pitched or kicked at a ball
dog, you never taught me sh*t
how to fight, ride a bike, fix a flat
none of that sorts of sh*t - Beanie Sigel

All my life I been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a f*ckin' abortion - Notorious BIG

I turn my TV off, cause I don't wanna look at the news
Hard times seeing people crying, Arabs and Jews
Fighting for they religion, niggas living like niggas
Mexicans on the border, white boys saying kill em
Politicians playing puppet, gotta answer me this
Do you believe you really God? My answer is this… - Scarface
