Favorite Quotes

Life is a beautiful struggle,
People search through the rubble for a suitable hussle
Some people using their noodle
Some people using their muscles
Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle.


- Talib Kweli

Yeah it's all one love, but remember one thing,
This music is my life, not a cultural fling.
It's an expression of the soul when we dance and sing,
And you were blessed to have a chance to even glance the scene.


- Murs

People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.

- James Baldwin

Get busy living, or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

- Red (Morgan Freeman in "The Shawshank Redemption")

Your relationship is between you and God...not you and society.

- [info]soki

They come to me for the lyrical, spiritual, raw shit I spit at you
Original, and I see collective, not individual
Visual, in the mic I'm un-fuck-wit-able


- Talib Kweli

Don't be erratic, be diplomatic, to keep your hearts in tune.

- Billie Holiday

Life is parallel to hell, but I must maintain...

- Nas

Spit sharp wit, like I floss with knives...

- Murs

Yo, my rhymes and lyrics, find spirits like a seance
Since fat Cray-ons, I write and display chaos
My plan is damage, the diagram to where the jam is
I take advantage, until the crowd go bananas
What a rush I hear cuts then I lust to touch
Microphones get clutched by the illustrious
Word spread I inherited, many ways to say the unsaid
Born with three 7's in my head
In time no one can seem to blow your mind as far as this
To find you'll need philosophers and anthropologists
Astrologists, professors from your smartest colleges
with knowledge of scholarships, when Ra be droppin this
Some of the things I know, will be in your next Bible
When I die go bury me and my notebook in Cairo
with the great God from Egypt manifest was write rhymes
align with the stars, I come back to bless the mic


- Rakim

My flesh, no nigga could test
My soul is possessed by D'Evils in the form of diamonds and lexuses
The Exorcist, got me doing skits like Homie
You don't know me, but the whole world owe me - strip!
Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fucking life
So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothing nice
Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly
But now this higher learnin got the Remy in me
Liquors invaded my kidneys
Got me ready to lick off, mama forgive me
I can't be held accountable, D'Evils beatin me down, boo
Got me runnin with guys, making G's, tellin lies that sound true
Come test me, I never cower
For the love of money, son, I'm giving lead showers
Stop screamin, you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if +Jehovah Witness+, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils...


- Jay-Z

The Shiny Apple is bruised but sweet
And if you choose to eat, you could lose your teeth.


- Mos Def

I lay puzzled as I backtrack to earlier times
Nothing's equivalent... to the New York state of mind.


- Nasir Jones

Time gone in a bottle of triple distilled,
Lost in a heartbeat that will never stay still,
Basking in the glory of the look and the feel,
Imitating life as I play to be real,
Contemplating rhythms to pass the time and refill,
The hole in my life one day I rebuild,
But I outpace the beat and fade like the ill,
Drunk off the liquor, and gone off the pill,
Patiently waiting for the spinning of wheels,
To stop in my mind, and finally kill,
The firey demons that will never be chill.


- my first keystyle

Being smart with no faith leads to talking too much
Blind faith with no smarts means you'll fall for any bluff
If you go to Church just for heaven, you just missed the point
Payin tithes with drug money is like Jesus blazin a joint


- scin383

Sh!tty music makes baby jesus cry, and the heavenly host weeps along with him.

- [info]intlpopstar

You tried to teach me better,
But I refused to grow.
God damn, I ain't the young man you used to know.


- Jay-Z

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walkin down the streets I find...
I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more?
I don't even know what I'm hustlin for
You gotta do what you gotta do
Just to make it through
All the hard times that's gonna face you


- Alicia Keys

I'm from the place where the church is the flakiest
And niggas is praying to God so long that they Atheist
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow
Cause the day after we'll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday


- Jay-Z

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He’s battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I’ve felt
What I’ve known
Never shined through in what I’ve shown
Never be
Never see
Won’t see what might have been


- Metallica

Always do exactly what makes you happy (even if it doesn't make everyone else happy).

- Andreá

Religion misoverstood is poison.

- Nas

Yo chill with the feedback black we don't need that
It's ten o'clock hoe, where the fuck's your seed at
Feelin mad hostile, ran the apostle
Flowin like Christ when I speaks the gospel


- RZA
