"Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
600 million on a football team
And her baby dies just like a dope fiend"
Om jag nånsin faller i avgrunden ja då åker jag på värdekortet hela jävla vägen fram till pärleporten,
där st. Per står och väntar med handen på gallret och en iskall stor stark och en varm hamburgertallrik
"If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And if you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life
In my grip I would never ever let you down" - J.Ivy
"Lever orden i eviga tider likvid lingvistik med musik omgiven av mystik
mikrofonmetafysik, inte ens professorer i matematik kan räkna ut min skit"
- Pst/Q - Supersiamesiskt foster
...more to come.
"..bygger sjukare meningar än epileptiker lekande gäster med gester under elshockstester.." Från samma "låt":. Sjukt galen ordlek..
Finns så många att välja mellan, men här är vissa jag gillar mycket för stunden. Talib Kweli är en mästare på dessa.
Black Star - Respiration
(Mos Def):
"The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis
Shinin, like who on top of this"
(Talib Kweli):
"Killers Born Naturally like, Mickey and Mallory
Not knowing the ways'll get you capped like an NBA salary"
Talib Kweli - Ghetto Show
"If lyrics sold, then truth be told
I'll probably be just as rich and famous as Jay-Z
Truthfully I wanna ryhme like common sense
Next best thing I do a record with Common Sense"
Talib Kweli - Beautiful Struggle
"You try to vote and participate in the government
And the muh'fuckin' Democrats is actin' like Republicans
You join a organization that know black history
But ask them how they plan to make money and it's a mystery"
"They call me the political rapper
Even after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politics
I don't even follow it"
Talib Kweli - The Proud
"I remember Oklahoma when they put out the blaze
And put Islamic terrorist bombing on the front page
It's like saying only gays get AIDS, propaganda"
"The President is Bush, the Vice President's a Dick
So a whole lot of fuckin' is what we gon' get"
"Kurt Loder asked me what I say to a dead cop's wife
Cops kill my people everyday, that's life"
"But it's hard for me to walk down the block
Seeing rats and roaches, crack viles and 40 ounce posters
People broken down from years of oppression
Become patriots when they way of life is threatened
It's a hard conversation to have
We lost kids, moms and dads, people ready to fight for the flag
Damn, when did shit get this bad?
America kill the innocent too, the cycle of violence is sad"
