Favourite Hip Hop Verse

Lowkey - Playing with fire

I wanna get paid. and this is a serious business
but these days hip hop clearly is twisted
my theory is this, rap is too materialistic
too many spitters are in this merely for riches
they're lying to kids who get inspired to spit
by rappers rhyming bout the ice on their wrist
spend a whole verse describing their whip
while mtv shows you around the inside of their crib
they got nuttin' better to rap about but their bank accounts
say they're gangstas but can't walk around their own manor now
or cant walk street without an entourage of bodyguards
claim to be killers in their bars and kids copy fast
so you've got rappers who aren't murdering people
making tracks about murdering people
inspiring young youths to start murdering people
listen to their verses the words are just evil

Don't ever get it twisted, I like money
But from a distance the shit is quite funny
Think twice before you make the decision
To spit it, little kids mimic
Everything their hear in your lyrics
It shocks me (what does?)
Some rappers ignorance, I don't care what you say
Music does have a influence
high-grade these days got more highs in it than cannabis
But no one I know gives it a scientific analysis
You're probably smoking it now, Joking about, the next man
Because you know there's a drought
Every year there is a couple man murked at carnival
And in the Source blud there's more adverts than articles
Sitting depressed I analyze bits of the press
So many rappers try and glamorise prison and death
Even though I don't agree, still I wish them the best
But why can't we promote living instead

Sometimes I feel to take these Nike crepps off
Cos they were made by a slave in a Chinese sweatshop
say that to man in JD, what can they say to me?
All of us are supporting modern day slavery!
The tick tricked us into thinking we can't live without it
We're not the only ones blud, think about it
I'm not better, cuz I am rapping it on the beat
but In a way I'm worse, cos I ain't practicing what I preach
and like all other people I'm hooked
It's like living in a library but never reading a book
They don't want you using your mind
cuz then you might search for an answer you couldn't find
they lead us down all the wrong path ways and alleys
money can get you anything, but money can't make you happy
Rappers should be telling the truth of all people
but they've forgotten money's the root of all evil
