Your fav Music lyrics

Everyone has them. Long or short, old or new, heavy or light...please share..:smt020

"Them belly full, but we hungry,
A hungry mob is a angry mob"
- Bob Marley
---------

"The love I feel for you
You feel for me
One life is all we have to live
Our love is all we have to give...

There are so many things for us
To do and see
Let's take some time to be alone
Lock the door pull out the phone yeah..."
-S.O.S Band

 

Sideshow- Blue magic


Let the sideshow begin.
Hurry,hurry.
Step right on in.
Can't afford to pass it by.
Guaranteed to make you cry.

 

Marley war
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior is finally and permantly discredited and abandoned everywhere me say war
Taken from a speech hallie salse Ethiopia emporer

My fave from public enemy
Verse 2 ( btw a game changer in the hip hop game imo)
As the rhythm design to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you realize the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
From the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange
Chuck d was a boss,, every time some talking head jumps up and makes all rap bad and influencing kids in a negative way that song makes me so you don't know what you are talking about

 

I LOVE War. One of my fav songs of his. Love, love those lyrics. :smt023
I never knew he was quoting Hallie Salse. Thanks for that info.

 

Speaking of WAR

Magic Mountain


Walk in the sun, up on Magic Mountain,
Red mountain wine, everybody laughs.
When the day is done, up on Magic Mountain,
Feeling fine, fine, fine, rollin in the grass.

Yes, were goin high, high, high, high on Magic Mountain.
Were goin high, high, high and never comin down, no, no.
Were goin high, high, high, high on Magic Mountain.
Were goin high, high, high and never comin down, no, no.

See the clouds floatin past,
Just like our troubles, its a thing of the past.
Poor people way down below,
Thats one place I never let you go.

 

If You Could Read My Mind- Gordon Lightfoot


If you could read my mind, love. What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie. 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark.
Or a fortress strong.
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me.
And I will never be set free.
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

 

If you go platinum, it's for nothing to do with luck it means that a million people are stupid as fuck. -Immortal Technique

 

Nice thread.

 

Phonte - The Good Fight


It's like chasin' a high, you just wanna get a hit
Just wanna get a taste, just wanna benefit
Everyday we wake up there's the legitimate
Struggle between doin' what's right, and just doin' some nigga shit
Baby bro wrote me say he feel he lost me
I'm like dude I'm tryin' back the fuck up off me
My single friends say "Te your family's beautiful"
I'm like if only y'all niggas knew what it cost me
This shit don't come with no blueprints
And with every change it seems more like a game you could never win
I tell my peoples I ain't rich but this harvest is the farthest a broke nigga ever been
"Go for ya dreams" that's what they tellin'
Fam in my ear all day and they yellin'
"Keep it real Te", and don't ever sellout
But what the fuck is sellin' out if ain't nobody sellin?

 

Great nomination.

 

I second that

 

Was he a master at simple truth? Great post

 

It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices

Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away

Six senses keeping
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two is a perfect number
But one, well ..

 

If we were made in his image then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in god but the fear us just the same

-Erykah Badu, "on and on"

 

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

 

Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Ice Cube's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day

 

Indeed he was. A penetrating advocate.

 

"I got a jones runnin' through my bones
I'm sorry son, but all your money's gone"-Curtis Mayfield

 

G...In the song..if you know... What is "jones"? Another word for drugs?

 

Kinda. Jonesing is like fiending or really wanting something. In the song he's addicted to drugs and is looking for his next hit.
