Quote ! Report We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense
Who could ever foresee, we used to stay up all night at slumber parties
Now I'm trying to rock this bitch to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears, know she's wishing we were still close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make it mine, D'Evils

Quote ! Report D'evils 2nd verse obv.

Never Change, 3rd Verse.

The streets robbed me, wasn’t educated properly
but fuck ya'll I needed money for Atari.
was so young my big sis still playin wit Barbie.
young brother big city 8 million stories.
old heads taught me youngin walk softly
carry a big clip that'll get niggas off me
Keep coke in coffee

change is cool to cop but more important is lawyer fees
that’s how it is now
that’s how it always be
I’ll never change this is always me

from now to my doom
drink army from one cup pass it around the room
that’s the ritual, big gran I aint forgot you fool and all that bullshit you

rival crews get cha black suits up
I’ll never change

Quote ! Report not his best by any means
but i did like this verse

Fear not when or fear not why, fear not much while we're alive
Life is for livin not livin uptight, 'til you somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die, I'll be alive for a million years, bye-bye
So now for legends I'm forever young, my name shall survive
Through the darkest blocks over kitchen stoves over Pyrex pots
My name shall be passed down to generations while debatin up in barbershops
Young slung, hung here, show that the nigga from here
With a little ambition just, what, we can become here (yeah)
And as the father passed the story down to his son's ears
Younger get, younger every year, yeah
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know
Don't ever let me go, that's how you let me know, ba-by

Quote ! Report With the same sword they knight you, they come good night you
Wait shit, it's only half if they like you
and that's only half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask  Michael
see Martin, see Malcolm
see Biggie, see Pac, see success and it's outcome
see Jesus see Judas
see Caesar see Brutus
See success is like suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you you ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now
And the question is, is to have had and lost,
Better than not having at all?
Because I'm...

Quote ! Report I speak through music, I reach you dudes
We can get deeper in the dirt than cleat shoes
I refuse to lose
I peep you creeps three months in advance
I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YA, JUDAS!
The man that I am and damn you dont know
The harder you go at me the harder I flow
Lets do this
I'm just a mirror reflectin your image
The minute you switch up your face I pick up the pace
There's nothin to it
Pull hammers from my waist
We can clap at this amateur pace
If that's what's crackin
Or we can play this on All Madden
Can you even fathom not havin a fear in the world
I'm cool in my afterlife
If I'm readin these chapters right
Please what have you, I breeze through Matthews
Bleed if I have you, you cowards die a thousand deaths
Fate fucks face-down on your house's steps
Are yall even gettin this message?
I aint bein aggressive
But if you testin my life then, shit I gotta answer
Gotta cut off the cancer, young'n, pull your pants up
You gettin too big for ya britches
You fuckin wit a dude that did it wit digits
Breathing's a privilege
Dont you know... when youre defeated?
Wont you throw? Throw in the towel
I'm better with vowels
I'm a man of principles; damn-near invincible
In my own mind now that my soul's aligned
I didnt know before now my role's defined:
Take hold and control what's mine
COME AND GIT MEEEEEEE
Come and take my life, you comin wit me
Come and try to take me for granted
I'll take you off this planet
Dammit, man this is the gift from God
This aint have to stand
'Til your arms are too short to box
Plus we knuckle up unorthodox
You can't take me off my grind GET OFF MY COCK
Whatchu thought? It's da ROC

Quote ! Report not necessarily his best but ive always liked the 2nd verse from moment of clarity.

The music business hate me
Cause the industry ain't make me
Hustlers and boosters embrace me
And the music i be makin
I dumb down for my audience
And double my dollars
They criticize me for it
Yet they all yell "Holla"
If skills sold
Truth be told
I'd probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli
Truthfully
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain't been rhymin like Common since
When your sense got that much in common
And you been hustlin since
Your inception
Fuck perception
Go with what makes sense
Since
I know what i'm up against
We as rappers must decide what's most impor-tant
And i can't help the poor if i'm one of them
So i got rich and gave back
To me that's the win, win
The next time you see the homie and his rims spin
Just know my mind is workin just like them

Quote ! Report So many great ones...Impossible to choose a favortie but ill go wit


Mannerisms of a young Bobby DeNiro, spent spanish wisdoms
in a whip with dinero, crime organized like the pharoah
I cream, I diamond gleam
High post like Hakeem, got a lot of things to drop
Brooklyn to Queens, I gotta keep my steam
Niggaz wanna try to hem my long jeans
Uptown fiend for Jay-Z to appear on the scene
In the meanwhile, here's somethin dope for y'all to lean
Liason for days on in
Money make the world go around so I made some to spin
Can I Live, did dough, with my nigs, dividends flow
like the Mississippi riv', lookin jig'
Can't do for dolo, had to turn away when Tony killed Manolo
That's real, mixed feelings like a mulatto
Thug thought he was O.G. Bobby Johnson
I played him like Benny Blanco, mano a mano
you ain't ready, I find no trigger straight up shoot my guns
horizontal, get your weight up, I am
two point two pounds you're barely a hundred and twenty-five grams
Wouldn't expect y'all to understand this money
Do the knowledge, do the few dollars, I'm due to demolish
Crews Brooklyn through Hollis to a hood near you, what the fuck...

Quote ! Report Feelin' it, Verse 1


I keep it realer than most I know your feelin it
Cristal on ice I like to toast I keep on spillin it
Bone crushers I keep real close I got the skill for this
On my back the fliest clothes lookin ill and shit
Transactions illegitimate cause life is still a bitch
And then you die but for now life close your eyes and feel this dick
Since diapers had nothin to live for like them lifers but
Makin sure every nigga stay rich within my cipher
We paid the price to circular success they turned my mic up
I'm 'bout to hit these niggas wit some shit that a light they life up
If every nigga in your clique is rich your clique is rugged
Nobody will fall cause everyone would be each others crutches
I hope you fools choose to listen I drop jewels bust it
These are the rules I follow in my life you gotta love it
Jiggy jigger lookin gully in the joint
If y'all niggas ain't talkin 'bout large money what's the point?
Forever King

Quote ! Report "Friend Or Foe"

Check one check two, you know what to do
Primo, cold crush when I give it to you
Friend or foe yo, state your biz
Ya tend to dough, ah, there it is
Me, I run the show, oh, and these kids
Don't like nobody commin around here fuckin wit they doe for shit
You enterprisin though,
And I like it
But fuck with the big dogs though, I gotta bite ya,
Look, its out of my hands
And you gettin money round here, its not in the plans
So hop yo ass out of that van, head back to kansas
I'm sendin niggas back up in campuses
Chance is slimmer than that chick in calvin klien pantses
Let me guess, they said it was money round here
And the rest is me stoppin you from gettin it, correct?
Sorry to hear that, my guess is you got work at the hotel
I'll take care of that, you'll see, now please
Give me the room key
You're twitchin, don't do that, you makin me nervous
My crew, well, they do pack, them niggas is murderous
So would ya, please put your hand back in sight
They don't like to see me nervous you can understand that, right?
You draw, better be picasso, y'know the best
Cause if this is not so, ah, god bless
You leave me no choice, I leave you no voice
Believe me son I hate to do it just as bad as you hate to see it done
Now calm your boys,
Cause I'm findin it a little hard to concentrate with all the noise
Get the point, I'll let ya go,
Before ya leave, I guess I aughta let you know, I need those keys
And promise you never, no matter the weather
Evaevaevaevaevaevae vaevaeva come around here no mo'

Quote ! Report one of my favourite verses. def not his best, but his flow on this beat. it's pretty amazing.

I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I Jack/ I Rob/ I sin,
Ah man, I’m Jackie Robinson
‘cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, Luckily they didn’t get me
Now when I bring the Nets I’m the black Branch Ricky
From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn hippie
I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T,

with no his-story, in my borough, they borrow
With no intentions of returning to-morrow
The Sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
half orphan, mama never had an abortion
papa sorta did, still I managed to live
I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
now please tell me what the fuck's harder than this?
S-Man

Quote ! Report Niggas couldn’t do nothing with me, they put the devil on me
I would have preferred if niggas squeeze the metal on me
Rumors of Lucifer, I don’t know who to trust
Whole world want my demise, turn the music up
Here me clearly, if yall niggas fear me, just say yall fear me
Fuck all these fairy tales, go to hell
This is God engineering
This is a Hail Mary pass, yall interfering
He without sin shall cast the first stone
So yall look in the mirror, double check yalls appearance
Bitch I said I was amazin', not that I’m a Mason
It’s amazing that I made it though the maze that I was in
Lord forgive me, I never would’ve made it without sin
Holy water, my face in the basin
Diamonds in my rosary shows he forgave him
Bitch I’m red hot
I’m on my third six but a devil I’m not
My Jesus peice flooded but thou shall not covet
Keep your eyes off my covert, I’m a bad motherfucker
It’s HOV, just say you love it

Quote ! Report In search of victory she keeps eluding me

If only we could be together momentarily

We can make love and make history

Why won't you visit me? until she visit me

I'll be stuck with her sister her name is defeat

She gives me agony so much agony

She brings me so much pain so much misery

Like missing your last shot and falling to your knees

As the crowd screams for the other team

I practice so hard for this moment victory don't leave

I know what this means I'm stuck in this routine

Whole new different day same old thing

All I got is dreams nobody else can see

Nobody else believes nobody else but me

Where are you victory? I need you desperately

Not just for the moment to make history
Priceless


Jul12 2010 @ 03:44pm
Quote ! Report So now I'm flirting with death hustling like a G

While victory wasn't watching took chances repeatedly

As a teenage boy before acne before I got proactiv I couldn't face she

I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the street

That's where I met success we'd live together shortly

Now success is like lust she's good to the touch

She's good for the moment but she's never enough

Everybody's had her she's nothing like V

But success is all I got unfortunately

But I'm burning down the block hoppin' in and out of V

But something tells me that there's much more to see

Before I get killed because I can't get robbed

So before me success and death ménage

I gotta get lost I gotta find V

We gotta be together to make history
Priceless


Jul12 2010 @ 03:44pm
Quote ! Report Now victory is mine it tastes so sweet

She's my trophy wife you're coming with me

We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly

We'll name him history he'll repeat after me

He's my legacy son of my hard work

Future of my past he'll explain who I be

Rank me amongst the greats either 1 2 or 3

If I ain't number one then I failed you victory

Ain't in it for the fame that dies within weeks

Ain't in it for the money can't take it when you leave

I wanna be remembered long after you grieve

Long after I'm gone long after I breathe

I leave all I am in the hands of history

That's my last will and testimony

This is much more than a song it's a baby shower

I've been waiting for this hour history you ours

Quote ! Report Owww, hoes turn they heads like, owls
I’m the man of the hour
Triple entendre, don’t even ask me how
Con Edison flow, I’m connected to a higher power
Bright life’d make your whole city light up
A trillion-watt light bulb, when I’m in the nightclub
I just landed in that in that G450
Caught the Mayweather fight, ’cause the satellite was crispy
(Uh) Y’all can miss me with that money talk
The smart money’s on Hov, fuck what the dummies talk
I don’t do too much blogging
I just run the town, I don’t do too much jogging
(Unh) I ain’t got a scar yet
‘Cause you fuckin’ around with me and my dogs is far-fetched
Drake, here is how they gon’ come at you
Will silly raps for you tryin’ to distract you
In disguise, in the form of a favor
The Barzini me, watch for the traitors
(Unh) I done seen it all, done it all
That’s why none of these dumb-dumb could dun him off
The summer’s ours, the winter too
Top down in the winter, that’s what winners do
And to these niggas I’m like Windows 7
You let ‘em tell it, they swear that they invented you
And since no good deed go unpunished
I’m not as cool with niggas as I once was
I once was, cool as the Fonz was
But these bright lights turned me to a monster
Sorry, mama, I promised it wouldn’t change me
But I would’ve went insane had I remained the same me
Fuck niggas, bitches too
All I got is this money, this’ll do
