>sleep is the cousin of death
No it's not. Hypnos is the twin-sister of thanatos.

Not even a hip hop fan, but lyrically speaking Illmatic is one of the greatest albums of all time.

VISUALIZIN THE REALISM OF LIFE IN ACTUALITY
FUCK WHO THE BADDEST A PERSON'S STATUS DEPENDS ON SALARY
AND MY MENTALITY IS
MONEY-ORIENTATED
I'M DESTINED TO LIVE THE DREAM FOR ALL MY PEEPS WHO NEVER MADE IT CAUSE YEA
WE WERE BEGINNERS IN THE HOOD AS FIVE PERCENTERS
BUT SOMETHIN' MUSTA GOT IN US
BECAUSE ALL OF US TURN TO SINNERS
NOW SOME
REST IN PEACE AND SOME ARE LIVIN IN SAN QUENTIN
OTHERS SUCH AS MYSELF ARE TRYNA CARRY ON TRADITION

Is it this, this is not it, I'm falling off again
Pull a card, read, upside down head, it’s not all bad
On the timeline, I don't make sense
Add it up, make it make sense, add it up then
Add it up, make it make sense, like in past tense
I don't offense, I defense, yes, I defense
Add it up, make it make sense, make sense

>>13569350
I switched my motto
Instead of sayin' "Fuck tomorrow"
The buck that bought a bottle could have struck the lotto

Eh, it varies. Try not to be a historicist when it comes to (specifically) mythology.

damn, that is based desu, i like how it sounds even when not rapping

My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
I never find him home
I go to his house
Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don't live here no more
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Always likes to roam
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Now he has no home
Where will Foot Foot go
What will Foot Foot do
Oh, Foot Foot
I wish I could find you
I've looked here, I've looked there
I've looked everywhere
Oh, Foot Foot
Why can't I find you?
Foot Foot, where can you be?
Foot Foot, why won't you answer me?
Foot Foot, Oh Foot Foot
Wherever you are
I want you to come home with me
I don't have time to roam
I have things to do
I have to go home
Oh, Foot Foot, where are you?
If Foot Foot didn't like to roam so well
He would still have a place to dwell
Foot Foot, please answer me
I know where you are
You're behind that tree
Foot Foot, please come to me
Foot Foot, now that you're here
Won't you come home
Foot Foot, promise me this
That you will never again roam

There was a sports car on the road (on the road)
I thought I knew the fellow that drove
That little sports car was slippery as an oyster
Following it was like riding on a rollercoaster (rollercoaster)
Around the corners and over the bumps
Every minute, faster and faster, my heart thumped (my heart thumped)
Well, finally he stopped to get some gas
If I was to catch up I had to move fast (to move fast)
I stepped on the gas and just made the corner
Wow, I was almost a goner (goner)
When I got there he was gone
I don't know where I went wrong (I went wrong)
The time went fast, it was late
I knew I had no time to waste (time to waste)
I turned around and headed for home
I learned my lesson never to roam
I learned my lesson never to roam
Never to roam
Never to roam
Never to roam
Never to roam

>LIFE'S A BITCH AND THEN YOU DAH
>DAS WHA WE GET HAH
>COS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU GONNA GO
>repeat for 3 minutes

Until the night is over, hold on, hold on
Hold your horses back from the fickle dawn
I have got some business out at the edge of town
Candy weighing both of my pockets down
Till I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
And knowing how the common folk condemn
What it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
Being a woman, being a woman

But always up the mountainside you're clambering
Groping blindly, hungry for anything
Picking through your pocket linings, well, what is this?
Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain
Little sister, he will be back again
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain
Spiders' ghosts hang, soaked and
Dangling silently, from all the blooming cherry trees
In tiny nooses, safe from everyone
Nothing but a nuisance, gone now, dead and done
Be a woman, be a woman

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

And like a medicine bottle
In the cabinet I'll keep you
And like a medicine bottle
In my hand I will hold you
And swallow you slowly
As to last me a lifetime
Without holding too tight
I do not want to lose
The thrill that it gives me
To look out from my window
And scowl at the houses
From my world in the bedroom
It's all in my head she read
In her girlfriend's self-help book
It's all his own making
A war with himself
Like two sides of a wall
That separates two countries
He shuts out the world
And wants only to love you

My favorite color is red
Like the bloodshed
From Kurt Cobain's head
When he shot himself dead

Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Although she needs you more than she loves you

And I know it's over
Still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
It's over, it's over, it's over

I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me and said:

"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know because tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they are in each other's arms"

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
It's over, over, over

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
It's over, over, over

Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love

Now hear ye hear ye want to see Thee more clearly
I know he hear me when my feet get weary
Cause we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers are role models we rap we don't think
I ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
Well if this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreaming about
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out

>>13569366
>Real rappers are hard to find... like a remote... control

His origami dream is beautiful
But man, those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down

Imagine being this much of a pseud

Rappers who would be /lit/?

Anybody seen a knight pass this way
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
His crusade was a search for God and they say
It's been a along way to carry on
Anybody hear of plague in this town
The town I've left behind was burned to the ground
A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried
I'm not a witch God knows my name
The knight he watched with fear
He needed to know
He ran where he might feel God's breath
And in the misty church
He knelt to confess
The face within the booth was Mr. Death
My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles
Why can't God touch me with a sign
Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth
And Death hid within his cloak and smiled

>>13569366
Get down to businees
I think it's time I paid a little visit
To my run down neighbourhood cemetry
To tally up the people I buried
57, 58, 59
All layin' down in the same line
You sorry motherfuckers couldn't handle me
I done fucked up 17 families
So bring it on if you wanna play
Huh, make my motherfuckin' day
'Cause you'll be one dead motherfucker black
I'mma put your ass on your back
I won't play no games wit cha boy
You'll just be one more nigger in the morgue

Based, one of my favorite Geto Boys tracks

No other love can warm my heart
Now that I've known the comfort of your arms
No other love.
Oh the sweet contentment that I find with you every time
Every time.
No other lips could want you more
For I was born to glory in your kiss.
Forever yours
I was blessed with love to love you
Til the stars burn out above you
Til the moon is but a silver shell
No other love, let no other love
Know the wonder of your spell

>>13569438
I guess you're right.

i always blink
cuz i aint scared of death

Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 Gusto
Your luck low, I didn't know 'til I was drunk though
You freak niggas played out, get fucked and ate out
Prostitute turned bitch, I got the gauge out
96 ways I made out, Montana way
The Good F-E-L-L-A, verbal AK spray
Dipped attache, jump out the Range, empty out the ashtray
A glass of 'Zé make a man Cassius Clay
Red dot plots, murder schemes
32 shotguns, regulate with my dunns
17 rocks gleam from one ring
They let me let y'all niggas know one thing
There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King

The highlights of livin', Vegas-style, roll dice in linen
Antera spinnin' on millenniums
20 G bets I'm winnin' 'em, threats I'm sendin' 'em
Lex with TV sets the minimum, ill sex adrenaline
Party with villains, a case of Demi-Sec
To chase the Henny, wet any clique with the semi TEC
Who want it? Diamonds I flaunt it
Chickenheads flock I lace 'em, fried broiled with basil taste 'em
Crack the legs way out of formation
It's horizontal how I have 'em fuckin' me in the Benz wagon
Can it be Vanity from Last Dragon?
Grab your gun, it's on though
Shit is grimy, real niggas buck in broad daylight
With the broke MAC that won't spray right
Don't give a fuck who they hit as long as the drama's lit
Yo, overnight thugs bug ‘cause they ain't promised shit
Hungry-ass hooligans stay on that piranha shit

THE SMOOTH CRIMINAL ON BEAT BREAKS
NEVER PUT ME IN YOUR BOX IF YOUR SHIT EATS TAPES

Yo, pay attention
And listen real closely how I break this slang shit down
Check it, my weed smoke is my lye
A ki of coke is a pie
When I'm lifted, I'm high
With new clothes on, I'm fly
Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks
Money is chips, movies is flicks
Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones
Cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones
A radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox
Fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cop
And if you got rubbed, you got stuck
You got shot, you got bucked
And if you got double-crossed, you got fucked
Your bankroll is your poke, a choke hold is a yoke
A kite is a note, a con is a okey doke
And if you got punched that mean you got snuffed
To clean is to buff, a bull scare is a strong bluff
I know you like the way I'm freakin' it
I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it

A burglary is a jook, a woof's a crook
Mobb Deep already explained the meanin' of shook
If you caught a felony, you caught a F
If you got killed, you got left
If you got the dragon, you got bad breath
If you 730, that mean you crazy
Hit me on the hip means page me
Angel dust is sherm, if you got AIDS, you got the germ
If a chick gave you a disease, then you got burned
Max mean to relax, guns and pistols is gats
Condoms is hats, critters is cracks
The food you eat is your grub
A victim's a mark
A sweat box is a small club, your tick is your heart
Your apartment is your pad
Your old man is your dad
The studio is the lab and heated is mad
I know you like the way I'm freakin' it
I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it

unironically i love this album. early east coast hiphop is /lit/ prove me wrong

The iron horse is the train and champaign is bubbly
A deuce is a honey that's ugly
If your girl is fine, she's a dime
A suit is a fine, jewelry is shine
If you in love, that mean you blind
Genuine is real, a face card is a hundred dollar bill
A very hard, long stare is a grill
If you sneakin' to go see a girl, that mean you creepin'
Smilin' is cheesin', bleedin' is leakin'
Beggin is bummin, if you nuttin you comin
Takin' orders is sunnin', an ounce of coke is a onion
A hotel's a telly, a cell phone's a celly
Jealous is jelly, your food box is your belly
To guerrilla mean to use physical force
You took a L, you took a loss
To show off mean floss, uh
I know you like the way I'm freakin' it
I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it

Bladee good

Holy sword, shadow Bladee, my girlfriend looks like anime
Never had a car but I'm still inhaling the candy paint
Bladee man, Astroboy, I'm smoking on a asteroid
I'm inside a plastic void, I turn into a plastic boy
Drinking liquid acid out of plastic cups, Jurassic boy
Watch on my wrist, it's all black but it's made of gold
Raining gold, I'll break your soul, my mind is using mind control
In a gold mine with an axe and a superstone
Gucci phone, Coca Cola snow, sending super drones
From the iron throne, put you down like a skeleton
In my bones, silver herringbone like the thunder dome
When I woke up one day, everything was gone
