    Nice - I had forgotten about that Roots track.

  • Had to do the first part of Thieves in the Night:

    "Give me the fortune, keep the fame," said my man Louis
    I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
    I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
    He looked at me, he thought about it
    Was like, "I'm clueless, why?"
    The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
    Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
    And so tomorrow comin' later than usual
    Waitin' on someone to pity us
    While we findin' beauty in the hideous
    They say money's the root of all evil but I can't tell
    You know what I mean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills
    Or is it the mindstate that's ill?
    Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
    Over money and religion there's more blood to spill
    The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
    What's the deal?
    A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
    But my language universal they be recitin' my quotes
    While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat
    of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked
    Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth
    Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth
    Survival tactics means, bustin' gats to prove you hard
    Your firearms are too short to box with God
    Without faith, all of that is illusionary
    Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary

    Not strong
    Only aggressive
    Not free
    We only licensed
    Not compassionate, only polite
    Now who the nicest?
    Not good but well behaved
    Chasin' after death
    so we can call ourselves brave?
    Still livin' like mental slaves
    Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice
    Hidin' like thieves in the night from life
    Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice

    Not sure if it get better than this...

  • ^init. Hella shit.

  • The Notorious B.I.G. - "Warning"

  • Suckers back to pull their style's transsexual
    Lesbians dance with the funky heterosexual
    You on the mic, and when you rhyme, I start to jerk off
    Let my dog lick you, German Shepard want to bust off

    I tell your legs and swat 'em, MC's having anal sex
    Step around like a Tampax, and step up next
    I enter New York, no problem with my dick out
    California porno star, my ass, you can lick out

    Saying, "What?", with sperm dripping down your partner's butt
    I see MC's in my face with their ass up
    Let me put my cape on, my rubber and my mask up
    Not, no horror-core shit, this is porno-core

    Kool Keith - Sex Style [Full Album] - YouTube

    Whole album is hilarious (and very puerile) though. And very, very NSFW.

  • Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys , Size ain't Shit -

    I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
    I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
    I been a stupid-ass motherfucker ever since
    The penitentiary became my residence
    It wasn't nothin' for me to disfigure
    You little nickle-and-dime-assed niggaz
    Shank a motherfucker in a minute
    And if a riot was goin' down I was in it,
    Get off work and discuss my pardon
    Chill out and smoke weed with tha warden
    Take a motherfucker like you
    And without remorse this is what I'll do:
    Punk you out and make you be my bitch
    And let a nig get shit on his dick for 1 cigarette!!
    Any harder then my dick and you're talkin' shit
    Carry on motherfucker-
    before the state convict me of assult or something hyper
    and I'll end up right back at Riker's, Like a sniper
    I'm scoping you out,
    You won't even know when I'm takin' your ass out,
    I'm equipt and viscious, tolerate no misses,
    Rougher than Ulysses when it comes to bitches
    bitch, yea I'm talking to you, some a yall niggaz are bitches too
    you gotta be crazy as hell to try ta fuck up ******
    **** cuz your size ain't shit.

  • Oh, Nas' verse on Verbal Intercourse.

    "Through the lights, cameras, and action
    glamour, glitters, and gold
    I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe"

  • One of my favourite P.E. lyrics from the hazy shade of criminal track -

    Only if I had one more time to kick
    The rhythm that keep ripping down the door
    So the real criminals get exposed behind the clothes
    Doors and the suits that make and break the law
    Looking for my own cause I had enough bull
    I can't understand it must be crooked way they planned it
    Police supposed to keep the peace
    But I can't trust 'em
    So I keep my piece
    Loaded & cocked
    Cause I don't miss the block
    I'm talking about the ones who don't get chained to the rock
    Those who got away with the dirt and the grime
    While we go away for the neighbourhood crime
    Never liked what I saw in the law
    Indiana tress hanging us instead of leaves (yeah)
    We hanging from the roof (yeah)
    By real criminals

  • This life goes passing you by
    It might go fast if you lie
    You go and you live then you die...

    O-oh-oh-ohh

    If life goes passing you by
    Don't cry
    If you breaking the rules
    Making your moves
    Paying your dues...
    Chasing the cool

  • Ice-Cube from the Kill at Will E.P. , in it's entirety

    "The Product"

    I was told, cause I didn't witness the whole act
    In and out was the movement of the bozack
    It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin
    Then the nut came gushin
    And it was hell tryin to bail to the ovary
    With nuttin but the Lord lookin over me
    I was white with a tail
    But when I reached the finish line, young black male!
    One cell made two, and two cells made fo'
    and so on, so now I'm a embryo
    Then I got a hunch
    that I'ma be on lockdown, for nine months
    Chillin, with my mother to guide me
    And nuttin but a stomach to hide me
    from all that worry and bullshit
    Nine months later, I elbow pull and kick
    cause my time is up and I don't care
    With one big push, I'm outta there
    June 15th, it's just my luck
    In 1969, a nigga is the product

    "Ghetto ass nigga, you ain't shit,
    and you ain't gon' never be shit!"

    I learned how to walk and talk and all that
    They put me in school, but it don't matter
    Cause I'm sittin in history
    Learnin bout a sucker, who didn't give a fuck about me
    They try to shape us
    But I know Uncle Sam is a motherfuckin rapist
    So I stopped payin attention
    Ice Cube, headed, straight to detention
    Fuck that shit, I roam the hallways
    I'm sent home and I don't got all A's
    A high school dropout
    My father had beef so I tried to knock pops out
    But I got tossed, he's the boss
    I'm out of there and mad cause I lost
    Now bein on my own is a factor
    So I become, the neighborhood jacker
    Gimme your car, run your jewels
    Makin a livin robbin fools
    And if I let my nine rang out
    You know, it'll make your brains hang out
    So what's your fate?
    Am I the nigga you love, or the one you love to hate?
    The wrong answer is said, the nigga fled
    I pump lead, now he's in a puddle of red
    And if you got a buck, you're shit out of luck
    Stuck up by the motherfuckin product

    "Uh-uh motherfucker you gots to get a job
    if you wanna stay in my motherfuckin house"

    "Many young men reject the traditional values
    that are important to their parents.
    Church, school and family
    have been replaced by street, turf, and gang."

    Twenty-one now, and paid in full
    Feelin bad, from all the shit I pulled
    on people back in the day
    Plus, I got a little baby on the way
    So I'm tryin to go straight
    I'm with my baby's momma, out on a date
    Til the punk ass cops ran my plate
    Now I'm on a bus upstate

    "Oh, the young nigga done caught a case!"
    "Sittin in the mess hall, sayin my grace" [LL Cool J]

    Sent to a concrete hoe-house
    Where all the products go, no doubt
    Yo momma, I gotta do eleven
    Livin in a five by seven
    Dear baby, your man's gettin worn out
    of seein young boys gettin they assholes torn out
    And then he got shanked with a spoon
    And he was 'sposed to get out soon
    Is it my fault, he was caught in production
    Where a young black life means nothin
    Just because, I didn't want to learn your grammar
    you say I'm better off in the slammer
    And it's drivin me batty
    Cause my little boy, is missin daddy
    I'm ashamed, but the fact is
    I wish pops let me off on the mattress
    Or should I just hang from the top bunk
    But that's goin out like a punk
    My life is FUCKED!
    But it ain't my fault, cause I'm the motherfuckin product

    "He ain't shit"

  • Not read the whole thread but this deserves to be here.
    Jeru The Damaja - Can't Stop The Prophet

    [The Prophet]
    I, leap over lies in a single bound (Who are you?)
    The Black Prophet
    One day I got struck by Knowledge of Self
    It gave me super-scientifical powers
    Now I, run through the ghetto
    Battlin my, arch nemesis Mr. Ignorance
    He's been tryin to take me out since the days of my youth
    He feared this day would come
    I'm hot on his trail, but sometimes he slips away
    Because he has an army, they always give me trouble
    Mainly - Hatred, Jealousy and Envy they attack me
    They think they got me
    But I use my super-science and I twist all three
    I see sparks over that buildin' - they're shootin' at me
    I dip, do a backflip
    Then hit em in the heart with sharp steel bookmarks
    Ignorance hates when I drop it
    But no matter, what he do.. he can't stop the Prophet

    [Deceit]
    Yo Prophet, yo Prophet, c'mere real quick
    Yo I just saw Ignorance downtown, let me put you on

    [Girl #2]
    Word, he down there buggin'
    He got them illin' out, they shootin' and everything else

    [The Prophet]
    Let's continue the saga, mad mad drama
    I met this chick, she said she knew where Ignorance was at
    I said, "Where?"
    She said, "Downtown"
    He had babies havin' babies - and young niggas sellin' crack
    I think the bitch is lyin, it's a set up
    I can smell it, but Ignorance is runnin' rampant
    Aight baby show me the exact spot
    Meet me at Hoyt and Schermerhorn at 3 on the dot
    So I hops up on the A-Train, I'm bein' followed
    My seventh sense senses danger
    I turn around, it's Anger
    And he brought a mob along, it's the same old song
    Despair and Animosity got broke with the swiftness
    I don't know what they think this is
    I feel a sharp pain in my neck
    Now I can't see, I'm like Hiram
    They hit me with the dart filled with the pork chop serum
    I tried to hold on but before long I dropped
    When I awoke I was locked in the barber's shop
    Trapped in the barber's chair
    Oh no, they're gonna try and cut my hair
    But that can't stop the Prophet

    [Anger]
    Yo Prophet!
    Ignorance is tired of you followin' him around
    We about to put an end to that RIGHT NOW
    Anamosity (YEA!) Despair (YO WHASSUP?) Get him!!

    {DJ Premier cuts and scratches: "Can't a damn thing stop me"}

    [The Prophet]
    A few minutes passed by, I hear a buzzin' noise
    It was that chick with some of Ignorance's boys
    She said, "Prophet, we got you beat;
    By the way I'm Mr. Ignorance's wife, Deceit
    But enough talk; now for your hair cut.."
    When the clippers touched my hair, they blew the fuck up
    After the explosion there was no one left
    Cause I know Dim Mak/poison hand/touch of death
    My vision's still kinda blurry, but I see a clue
    Ignorance is at the library
    I hurry, with lightning speed like The Flash
    He's at the big one, on Grand Army Plaz'
    When I get inside the doors shut and the lights go off
    Damn, another trap
    I hear a hissin' sound, I smell a funny smell
    I gasp, I can't breathe
    Ignorance is laughin' at me
    Waitin' on my downfall, but he can't stop the Prophet

    [Mr. Ignorance]
    Well Prophet
    It seems like you're in a bit of a jam
    I hope you can unstick yourself
    Oh, and what you did to my wife, it was nothing
    I have others
    Hahahahahaha... hahahahaha.. hahahahahah

    "The saga continues!"

  • I'm on a mission, that niggaz say is impossible
    But when I swing my swords they all choppable
    I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
    Child educator, plus head amputator
    Cause niggaz styles are old like mark 5 sneakers
    Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers
    Don't even stop in my station and attack
    While your plan failed, hit the rail, like amtrak
    What the fuck for? down by low, I make law
    I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four
    Round the clock, that state pen time check it
    With the pens I be stickin but you can't stick to crime
    Came through with the wu, slid off on the dl
    I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells
    (when the mc's..) now come aboard, it's medina bound
    Enter the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
    It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
    So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels
    Niggaz are fascinated how the shit begin
    Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin
