after quickly thinking about this, this verse was one of my favorites:

"I come from a place where they say, death comes too soon
Where the hoods on the block, dance to a different tune
Every night and every day, hotels of foul play
Turns fatal, when this hostile land of AK's
On any date, not wait to pump them rounds
The reminder; it's a murderer stomping ground
With one less witness, gunned down in the staircase
Who had led his crew, but he was moving at a snail's pace
Many suspects, many possible motives
Just kept coming with unstoppable explosives
The weak fold in these most extreme conditions
While the rivals quickly strengthen their position
The mission was to move in, with sheer brute force
And lives, they get lost, on a collision course
The streets are fascinating, so they gotta explore it more
But not without walking through some hurricane corridors
Become the most wanted, life can seem haunted
Thugs and agents who work closely up on it
Patriotic hustlers that kill for presidents
Conceal the truth, but can't hide the evidence
A man died holding some dice that he was shaking
Like a bank stop, but no valuables was taken
Shot at 8:45, but he died at 9
A video was the most precise witness to the crime"

I like this verse

" know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers
The doctor dont wanna take procedures
He claim my heart can't take the anastesia
It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beeping,
Hey chick, im at a lost for words
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gone be fine?
But i'd be lying, the family crying
They want her to live, and she trying
I'm argueing like what kind of doctor can we fly in
You know the best medicine go to people thats paid,
If Magic Johnson got a cure for A.I.D.'s
And all the broke mutha****ers past away
You tellin me if my grandma was in the N.B.A.
Right now she'd be ok?
But since she was just a secretary
Working for the church
For thirty five years
Things sposed to stop right here
My grandfather tryin to pull it together, he's grown,
Thats where I get my confidence from
I asked the nurse "did you do the research?"
She ask me, "can you sign some t-shirts?"
***** is you smokin reefer?
You dont see that we hurt
But still..."

And "Drive Slow"

get to voting

please

For me, there's a tie for the best verse... but neither of the songs are singles so...

The first verse is from 'Carbon 15's, A.K.'s & Mac-11's' by Boyz N Da Hood (the verse his Big Gee's - the first verse)
" I took a sip and then I take my pistol
then I hit my sack and grab the phone
think I'm 'bout to call my sistuh
'cause I need more gats!
n*gga just bounced outta prison
and made the decision on how he gon' act
in the back of the club, swoll up like the Hulk and bustin'
and talkin' 'bout who he gon' slap
whoooooooo? meeeeeeeeee?
Southwest Atlanta O.G.?
Great with the hands like the gingerbread man
but I'll pull a four-fifth just as fast as I can
Y'all n*ggaz ain't used to the pain
don't even think y'all folks ain't got no gats
don't even think y'all n*ggaz ain't seen no blood
I can tell by the way y'all act
I can tell how you talk, you ain't got no walk
tell by your chest, you ain't got no heart
I can tell by your walk, you ain't got no game
thangs on us, plus thangs in the car
Bopped and banged and popped and drained and pained and
dropped and named him dead
now thank that stainless!"

The second verse is on "Bitches & Bizness" by Boyz N Da Hood (the verse is Whiz's - the first verse)
"The bizness is bitches
the pussy I keep in my pocket
the n*ggaz keep watchin'
they know I be rockin' my watches
D's keep knockin'
they know I be shootin' the spot up
we Boyz N Da Hood
strickly distribute the product
my n*ggaz get slizzard
I'm smokin' and chillin' in Proda's
f*ck a 9-to-5
we gon' just do what we gotta
I'm in my chevy thang
everything's runnin' proper
don't come too close
'cause I'm subject to f*ck with my chopper
we in da streets
who got da weed?
I got a couple ki's (kilos)
wanna eat? f*ck with me
you don't wanna see me pissed off
f*ck her 'til my dick soft
n*gga this is riff ruff"

I had a few others from Jakki, Zion I, Grayskul and Little Brother, but I ended up just going with these three.

Plus honorable mentions for Percee P's verse on Torture Chamber, and the one long GZA verse on Queen's Gambit.


''We used to flock together, birds of the same feather
Shared the same clothes, same hoes, same treasure
When everything was fair, everybody gained pleasure
But everything changed when came the rain weather
Whatever, for unexpected shit like that
I keep an umbrella just in case it get like that
You was the cat, who used to smile up in my face
Come up in my place, in the 'fridgerator stuffin your face
Stuck in your ways, somethin was strange
I shoulda known you was nothin but snake
The way you used to rattle on about yourself
It was all about you, what could I do?
I was just like - nah, I was nothin like you
See I was real, you was the cat that used to front
First time you did that shit behind my back, so what?
Second time I had a problem with yourself, hold up
Third time we had to talk, I was like what the f*ck...
Is this? It used to be a friendship
Then this Decepticon Transformed into a Benedict
I can't think of no other reason
other than the fact that you was jealous of the life that I was leadin
Tryin to deceive me, you only deceive you
What you thought was invisible was only see-through
I used to love you like you came out my own mother
But the man behind the mask could never be my brother.''

-One Be Lo (Deceptacons, verse 3)


''Half of these rap lyrics ain't thought provoked
Just alotta beef, til they get caught in smoke
But the problem is never cured, on top of that
Most of them be swingin' wild and then drop the bat
Many curious spectators, watch the human drama
This rap cat was all in the street without his armor
A homicidal attempt, that had failed
He flew off the roof, on the fence, got impaled
He talked a good one, but it was make believe
Much too low, for the human ear to perceive
He confused science fiction with science facts
He couldn't separate the block, from the recorded tracks
Need a rhyme or the tactic, gotta work your magic
Detailed and graphic, but the outcome is tragic
Something built to a complex network
With a panoramic vision, designed by experts
I be the ice breaker, for you unskilled skaters
I increase the heat significantly, just on paper.''

-GZA (Illusory Protection, verse 1)


''One last vein to poke made it too dark to see this
Scenery slips they line up to go in the ground and leave us
To repeat this till I'm sick and I won't feed this
To my little girl who kept me in this world to beat this,
As a little kid taught to follow Jesus
Get to the front line I'm being lead by elitists,
So when I speak words and I don't mean this
It's like how only in a cloud do I know what serene is,
Unable to wake up or delete the reasons
It be the same bed I made up to sleep with demons
Whether, sick sane or a pattern repeated if I,
Spit pain I knew how to relieve it
If at, sixteen I had started to treat it
Till my, shit changed whether or not I would need it
To trace back to the face before the fetus
If the departure was wrong from the gate then she is.''

-Cage (Shoot Frank, verse 1)
