Favorite lines from hip-hop? (house, punk, rock, cassette, beastie boys)

Dr. Luncheon Man · 03-14-2004, 07:36 AM

I suppose these are more verses than lines...but anyway

Broken glass everywhere
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

melle mel - the message

I wasn't 'poor', I was po', I couldn't afford the 'o-r'

big L - lifestyles of da poor and dangerous

Street's disciple, my raps are trifle
I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle
Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split
Play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone ****
Verbal assassin, my architect pleases
When I was twelve, I went to hell for snuffin Jesus

nas - live at the bbq

I'm back
Back to smack attack
Those who wack and lack my experience
On the microphone holding my own ground
Dominating forces
Change the sources, punks takes losses
Enough cause it's me on the mic
Feeding on words, small like a nerd
Haven't you heard this change of rhyme
Continuing the land of time
For my incredible, highly elevated
Smooth in the mind, more sophisicated
Motivated, as I relate it verbal
Dissing a mouse and smacking any gerbel
I bought a Saab, a 1990 Turbo
Shining, fog lights in the front
I'm by myself, no seats for a stunt
'Cause I want it like that, I got it like that
I have it like, I need it like that
It's better like that, I made it like that
I bought it like that, I'm living like that
For you wack MC's
Who go on the mic and blow on the mic
And perpetrate frauds and making mistakes
Like an amateur but I'm a 20 year veteran
And better than, including the rest of them
I chew 'em all and spit out the best of them
One by one, I'm teaching my son
To ease back
Ease back

kool keith - ease back

my favorite is from jay-z's 99 problems-

The year is '94 and my trunk is raw,
and in my rearview mirror is the motherfukin' law
I got two choices yall, pull over the car or
bounce on the devil, put the pedal to the floor
now I ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
plus I got a few dollars, i can fight the case
so I, pull over to the side of the road,
and I heard, "son do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?"
'cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low?
do I look like a mind-reader sir? I don't know
am I under arrest, or should I guess som mo?
"Well you was doin' 55 in a 54"
"lisence and registration and step outta the car"
"are you carryin a weapon on you? I know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin' outta ****, all my papers legit
"Do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?"
well the glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk and the back,
and I know my rights, so you gon need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack? are you some type of lawyer or somethin?"
"or somebody important or somethin?"
nah, I ain't passed the BAR, but I know a little bit,
enough that you won't illegally search my ****!
"We'll see how smart you are when the k-9's come"
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one
HIT ME

that's mostly from memory, so some of it might be wrong
