Black Entertainment : What are some of your favorite lyrics?

[kente417mojo]

Very nice lyrics. I love Amel Larrieux ever since she was in Groove Theory. She has a really good song on her first their album called "Did you know" but I don't know they lyrics.

AfroBoricuaRoni....don't get all mushy now. Just kidding. No problem, I'm glad that you guys enjoy lyrics the way I do. Glad I'm not the only one who actually hears the words nowadays. There are so many lyrics I like that I know I'll be posting some more soon.

 

[SensualReality]

(Alicia Keys)
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can`t find a man who knows her worth

(Lauryn Hill)
Showing off your *bleep* `cause you`re thinking it`s a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know i only say it `cause i`m truly genuine
Don`t be a hardrock when you`re really a gem

(Lauryn Hill)
Why for you to increase, i must decrease?
If i treat you kindly does it mean that i`m weak?
You hear me speak and think i won`t take it to the streets
I know enough cats that don`t turn the other cheek
But i try to keep it civilized like menelik

(Lauryn Hill)
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now i`m on hope road
Every man want to act like he`s exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent

(Iriscience)
I`m a poet, with the warrior spirit inside
Chokin rappers out like hicks on and pride
We all share the same sun givin us light
But remember, sink or swim, time winnin`s a fight

(Lil Scrappy)
I speak my mind cuz bitin my tongue hurt.

(Lil Kim)
People steady try to make me into somethin` I`m not
That`s why I had to cut the grass, so I could see the snakes
Copped the house on the hill so I could see the lakes
What you thought? I`m a girl, couldn`t make it alone
Time to turn the heat up and get back in the zone

great topic kente

classic lyrics from the blastmaster himself krs-one
the song entitled the bridge is over:
one love
khasm



Intro:

I say, the bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over, hey, hey!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over

Verse One:

You see me come in any dance wid de spliff of sensei
Down with the sound called BDP
If you want to join the crew well you must see me
Ya can't sound like Shan or the one Marley
Because Shan and Marley Marl dem-a-rhymin like they gay
Pickin up the mic, mon, dem don't know what to say
Sayin that hip-hop started out in Queensbridge
Sayin lies like that, mon, you know dem can't live
So I, tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
Tell them again, me come to tell them agaaain
Tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
Tell them again, me come to te-ell them
Manhattan keeps on makin it, Brooklyn keeps on takin it
Bronx keeps creatin it, and Queens keeps on fakin it

Verse Two:

Di-di di-da, di di-di, dida di-day, aiy!
All you sucka MC, won't you please come out to play, cause
Here's an example of KRS-One, bo!
Here's an example of KRS-One
They wish to battle BDP, but they cannot
They must be on the d### of who? DJ Scott LaRock
Cause, we don't complain nor do we play the game of favors
Boogie Down Productions comes in three different flavors
Pick any d### for the flavor that you savor
Mr. Magic might wish to come and try to save ya
But instead of helpin ya out he wants the same thing I gave ya
I finally figured it out, Magic mouth is used for suckin
Roxanne Shante is only good for steady f###in
MC Shan and Marley Marl is really only bluffin
Like Doug E. Fresh said "I tell you now, you ain't nuthin"
Compared to Red Alert on KISS and Boogie Down Productions
So easy now man, I me say easy now mon
To KRS-One you know dem can't understand
Me movin over there and then me movin over here
This name of this routine is called Live At Union Square
Square, square, square, ooooooooooooooooooooooo
What's the matter with your MC, Marley Marl?
Don't know you know that he's out of touch
What's the matter with your DJ, MC Shan?
On the wheels of steel Marlon sucks
You'd better change what comes out your speaker
You're better off talkin bout your wack Puma sneaker
Cause Bronx created hip-hop, Queens will only get dropped
You're still tellin lies to me
Everybody's talkin bout the Juice Crew funny
But you're still tellin lies to me....

Lauryn Hill "To Zion"

Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,
"Lauryn, baby use your head"
But instead I chose to use my heart

Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
For I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face

Lauryn Hill "Everything is Everything"

I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception
Instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game,
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? We're so confused
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything

Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
So convinced that they might fall
Let's love ourselves then we can't fail
To make a better situation
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication
