DMX - Fame
Take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessing
Sent to live and die, on earth as a lesson
We each have a star, all we have to do is find it
Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded (WHAT?)
They'll tell you that you're bright, and say you have a future
When you turn your back, same cats'll try to shoot ya
Niggaz ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the fence
Forget what you do, when you talk, see what you really meant (aight?)
That's what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin (uh)
They talk all day but say, nothin (uh)
It gets so dark (what?) the pain's so intense
Since this first rain it's like it's rained ever since (WHAT?)
Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow (whoo)
Never got a plate on time but I grow (whoo)
Live your life, STAY on the line but I go (UHH)
Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know
X used to be my all-time favorite rapper. Now I'm not so sure. But I'll always dig him.
Mos Def - Verse in Pharaoh Monch's Oh No
Say my name, say my name
Observe how I stake my claim, I independently lay it down
And played my game, my own two raise my flame
Cause dick ridin ain’t my thang
I earned what they said I wouldn’t
I got it the way they said I couldn’t
But now I’m gettin it and they whole grill is crooked
Mad cause I’m gettin caked out from my bookings
When y’all was askin permission I just stepped up and took it
What!? the kid’s better buy my rookie card now
Cause after this year the price ain’t comin down
And if you got a joint bubblin then get money now
Cause in a minute, there’s gonna be some real trouble comin out
Just a warnin, as usual some cats wont heed it
The hard headed always gotta feel it to believe it
It’s a shame that jealous gays is too short to see it
But when they face hit the cement, they nod in agreement
We could play nice and decent, or dirty like the 7-1 precinct
Call it a day or make it a long evenin
You keep on schemin, man give me some more reason
To have the women in your mama’s church screamin lord jesus!
Harder than y’all cause I’m smarter than y’all
I know that deep down it’s got to be bothering y’all
Pay attention, watch fly gon’ get larger than y’all
Put your pride on the rocks, make you swallow it all
Just crazy man.
