Oh yeah, I'm making it tough. What's the best song of all time, considering all things (production, lyricism, flow, etc.). Just don't give me a song only because it's one of the most highly respected songs, unless you really believe that.

Edit: I don't know mine yet, I have to think about this.

    deliverence - Bubba Sparxx ? by Timbaland

    That's a good track homie, but to me, there's about 4 or 5 better songs just off of that album. Deliverance is one of the few examples of an artist's, Bubba Sparxxx, second album bein a lot better than their first. I like Sparxxx but that Dark Days, Bright Nights album was garbage. The Charm was o.k., but not near as good as Deliverance. He should stick with Organized Noize production. Eventhough Timbaland and Mr. Collipark (DJ Smurf) are good producers, the combination of Bubba and Organized Noize worked best. Tracks like "Nowhere", "Take A Load Off", and especially "Warrant" ft. Attitude, are slept-on classics. Attitude's from my city (Birmingham, AL) so I've known about him for awhile. He's done a few big features and I think he's got the potential that given the right opportunity, he could be big.

    Who Do You Believe In ( 1 of the best n one of 2Pac's greatest )

    [Tupac Talking]

    Heavenly Father
    Hear a ? down here
    Before I go to sleep
    Who do you believe in?
    Who do you believe in?

    [Tupac]

    I see mothers in black crying
    Brothers in packs dying
    Plus everybody's high
    Too doped up to ask why
    Watching our on downfall, witness the end
    It's like we don't believe in ? cause we living in sin
    I asked my homie on the block why he strapped
    He laughed
    Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast
    It's just another murder
    Nobody mourns no more
    My teardrops getting bigger
    But can't figure what I'm crying for
    Is it the miniature caskets?
    Little babies
    Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy
    Maybe its just the drugs
    Visions of how the block was
    ? came and it was strange how it rocked us
    Perhaps the underlying facts they hide
    Explain genocide
    It's when we ride on our own kind
    What is it we all fear?
    Reflections in the mirror
    We can't escape fate
    The end is getting nearer

    [Chorus] 2x

    Who do you believe in?
    I put my faith in ?
    Blessed and still breathing
    And even though it's hard
    That's who I believe in
    Before I'm leaving
    I'm asking the grieving
    Who do you believe in?

    [Tupac]

    Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
    I hate the man in the mirror
    Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
    Times of Armageddon
    Murder in mass amounts
    In this society where only getting the cash counts
    I started out as a beginner
    Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner
    I make my money and vacate, evade prison
    Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven
    And all the Hennessey and weed can't hide
    The pain I feel inside
    You know
    It's like I'm living just to die
    I fall on my knees and beg for mercy
    Not knowing if I'm worthy
    Living life thinking no man can hurt me
    So I'm asking
    Before I lay me down to sleep
    Before you judge me, look at all the ? you did to me
    My misery
    I rose up from the slums
    Made it out the flames
    In my search for fame
    Will I change?
    And I'm asking

    [Chorus] x2

    [Kadafi]

    Faith in Allah, believe in me, and it's plastic
    Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead ? in caskets
    With they chest plates stretched like elastic
    And what's worse I'm on front line
    Holding down camp still mashing
    Heard my cousin
    One of the old heads from the block
    Just came home October of 95
    Back in Yardville stuck with a three to five
    If he don't act up
    Now he realize
    If you don't stay wise
    Then in this game you ?
    Talk to my baby girl
    Give me the word on what she heard
    One of the grimmies is snitching
    Diamond a stool pigeon
    I talked to him
    He said he didn't
    My man said he did, in fact he sure
    Cause he just came home off a bid

    [Chorus] x2

    Who do you believe in?
    Is it Buddah, Jehova
    Or Jah? Or Allah?
    Is it Jesus? Is it ? ?
    Or is just yourself?
    Definitely, not to be imposed
    Even a demon
    Cause this is the joy of the movement
    Men, to believe in yourselves
    But for sure, the higher power
    Resides only to ride through the heart of the true
    From the soul, of the man
    For truth never has an alibi
    In the poetry or in this round
    That's what pulls our words together
    Just to understand
    That every man is his own man
    And only man can satisfy the man
    Only the soul of the man
    The feelings of the man
    The for realness of the man
    You can't shake the man when you feel the man
    You know the man
    And you gotta call yourself because you are that man

    Tupac over Female Singing

    Who do you believe in? (I put my faith in ? )
    Put my faith in ? , and
    Blessed and still breathing
    Even though it's hard (who do you believe in?)
    That's who I believe in (even though it's hard)
    Before I'm leaving
    I'm asking the grieving (who do you believe in?)
    Who do you believe in?
    Who do you? (blessed and still breathing)
    Oh, blessed (before I'm leaving, I'm asking the grieving)
    Oh, blessed (who do you believe in?)
    Yeah yeah

    till fade ...

    Nas - One Mic. The combination of coordinated production, lyrical display, and that insane crescendo makes this the most powerful songs out of any genre I've ever heard.

    One Mic is a helluva choice. For people saying they can't name one, that's the point of this thread.

    I understand it's difficult, maybe I should have entitled the thread "If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life." I also understand that if that were the thread title, one would get sick of listening to the same song over and over again. But for the sake of effort, try to make a determination on your favorite song, because so far this thread has been really diverse and I like the answers.
