i've been inspired by the illest lines/quotes thread, well lets see em.
Back to my brain like my brain is a home
While I roll with the fame I still aim at the throne
All my peers all sleep and I'm the only one not weak
Or am I unconscious dreaming I'm making a speech
Is this reality or my memory getting milage
Am I staring at the sun or blood vessels in my eyelids
Do I make music or is music making me
Is this really all death or just my awakening
Cage- Among the Sleep
[M.D.] Not strong
[T.K.] Only aggressive
[M.D.] Not free
[T.K.] We only licensed
[M.D.] Not compassioniate, only polite
[T.K.] Now who the nicest?
[M.D.] Not good but well behaved
[T.K.] Chasin after death
so we can call ourselves brave?
[M.D.] Still livin like mental slaves
[both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
[both] Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Talibe Kweli and Mos Def- Thieves in the Night
From graffiti in New York, on the walls and trains
DJ's in California, to the shores of Maine
B-Boys on the floor, who be doing they thang
To MC's, behind ropes, who had titles to claim
Gza- General Principles
She like music, got me heavily booted
when I'm out with her feelings be mixin'
chemical elixirs, caught her like a sickness
and can't get rid of it, these sexual addictions
tangle witted in my opposite sex friendships
with too many emotions, got me bent up
and it's real ill when something going on
but nothings being said trying to figure it out
wrapped all in your head just spit it out and I'll
truly understand what the problem is
'cause you got me twisted tryin' to stress birds
kickin' that f word
****in around, flirtin' and stressin' my nerves
Cannibal Ox- The F-Word
all the head splitting tears, cement breaking
weeping for these people walking in their sleep
My talk is not as cheap
And my thoughts are not as deep
As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep
"All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way."
-Aesop Rock (Daylight)
"Forgetting the things you want
Versus getting the things that you need
And tell me how bad do you want it
And tell me how much of it's greed"
-Haiku D'Etat (Wants vs Needs)
"When a mother****er steps out his place
And gets slapped in his mother****in face
Just because the mother****er tried to base
The G.O.D., the G.O.D.
And while I see his whole click passes by
Mother****ers think they qualify
And for those niggaz want to try
The G.O.D., the G.O.D."
- Gza (Swordsman)

And they say that a man ain't supposed to cry,
We live...amongst the stress and trouble,

We live...where there is no God in the sky,
But we live cos we can't die.''

some days, some nights
some live, some die
in the way of the samurai
some fight, some bleed
sun up to sun down
the sons of a battle cry
Shing02- Battlecry
its stress in these days of iceness
life is too short and priceless
pop your corks in the middle of a crisis
celebrate life till you lifeless
and may your soul go where Christ is

When you see me in the street
with 2 left feet and one eye closed
(its No Doze!!!)
Probabaly Statering with a bunch of my punks and diggin with drums
(No Doze!!!)
They say death is cousin of sleep, so im ready to go
(No Doze!!!!!)
Vast Aire- Fallen Awake
Yo Chris I think they think you know too much
Yeah Sis I think you put coke up your nose too much
They cut my hands off so I couldn't hold too much
They try to kill me through my dick with these hoes too much
You stack dough too much
You smack hoes too much
Well you can blame it on the mint leaves I roll too much
They cut my hands off so I couldn't hold too much
Don't stand off, bullet holes show too much
Some days will stay a thousand years
Some pass like the flash of a spark
Who knows where all our days go
Out here we lie together
Outside the thunder gathers
Why care about the weather
It always ends in dark
I looked west in search of freedom and I saw slavery
I looked east in search of answers and I saw misery
Some days I just don’t worry, I let it walk through me
Some days I walk into the very depths of me
So out here to the east of Eden I let my conscience be
I was waiting, I was watching
Would it ever be before me
And I found that hope and a lucky card
Were all I had to walk with me
-BIG COUNTRY - East Of Eden
They're doing the best for you,
Well that's what they say,
I know what you're going through.
You travel alone,
The journey is long,
With only a name,
In search of a home.
The world is ruled by science and money, That's all that exists.
How much longer must we live and die for THIS!
DAVE DAVIES - Doing The Best For You
Days drift into days,
His life just slips away.
People so blasé,
Everything's a cliché.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
Just an illusion.
Just an illusion.
Moonlight over the high-rise,
At the end of the day.
The little man is asleep in his bed,
Tucked up, safely away.
In his dreams he's taken away by alien beings to another
galaxy, deep in space. To a planet where a man can live
out his fantasies, and experience unimaginable pleasures.
But morning comes and soon the realities of life will
shatter his illusions, and the clichés of the world will
bring him down. But still he's waiting for a change.
Days drift into days,
His life just slips away.
Everything ya do 'n' say
nothin but a a cliché.
THE KINKS - Clichés Of The World (B Movie)
touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
(I love it when you call me Big Pop-pa)
Throw your hands in the air, if youse a true player
(I love it when you call me Big Pop-pa)
To the honies gettin money playin niggaz like dummies

If you got a gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the

"Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the past times
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope"

Thieves in the strobe deep freeze your pose. For the disease that grows underneath your toes holds up a reason y'alls gold never seems to glow. Now we can all breath slow once the fiend's exposed.
