I'm sure people familiar with battle rapping have heard this before, but this topic is more about actual grown man bars or lines used in a song.


Two of favorites are from 2 of my least favorite rappers:

Eightball: "? I had to struggle because my father aint cliff huxtable" (Crumbs to Brix)

Jeezy: "its hard to be drug free/ when Georgia Power won't give a ? lights free" (Go Crazy)

    "Another day to face, I'm share cropping in the paper chase
    Take a deep breath and clear my database
    It's afternoon I'm talking **** to my alarm clock
    Cause I gotta face this world of capitalistic onslaught
    Don't stop when I jump in the whip, tryin to get it off
    Beltline got me rushin like Barichnakof
    Pushin 80 miles per hour to this, call center
    Tryin to pick up a check I only see twenty percent a
    Until the weekend, it sound crazy when I'm sayin it
    But sleep is nice, got me forgettin what day it is
    Until my son two days with out speakin, looking for
    Reasons to keep my heir from goin off the deep end
    I take this **** personally, I'm makin moves
    But this treadmill lifestyle ain't workin for me
    It's from ya crib to ya lab to ya job to make a profit
    And at the days end you still got nothing accomplished
    And it's just the way it's goin down, but on the real
    I think I need to slow it down and slow it down"

    "It's cool to imitate, just grow into your own
    -Don't let the green grass across the picket fence
    Turn you into Mr. Smith without a purpose or a home
    Underneath he is a Jedi on the surface, he's a Clone"

    "Many actions excused
    In the name of getting cash
    Is adversely impactin our youth
    With mental slavery, the shackles is loose
    And its hard to cut chains when they attached at the roots
    So what the new black activists do
    For our freedom, is just being them
    Do what you're passionate to"

    "Don't let your ego get ahead of you,
    believin all the hype from the pipelines you fed it through
    I'm from that school of thought: there's never nothin left to prove,
    so I keep yappin' 'til no ones left to confess it to
    -I said I talk in the mirror,
    convinced that that's the only time anybody hears ya.."

    "I rather be in the clouds than have my vision cloudy"- Krayzie Bone (Fly Away)

    .
    I think if Adam would’ve had another squeeze he might//Not have ate those fruits from the leaves of light//
    Far as Eve, it couldn't have been the more deceiving wife//
    Seeing ? had a weak spot, she was right

    I just call it how I see it, she in love with him
    And he in love too but still be ? all of them
    Can you imagine you in lock with one breeze for life? Waking up in the morning, laying down at night

    With the same face looking at you all the time
    Realizing now that happiness was hard to find?
    You wanna go out and try to find that smile and face
    Plus she's always mad and her sex ain't great

    And she don't suck ? like she used to do
    Force a ? into trying to find him something new//
    And on the real, I done seen it when it went like this//
    But girl, there's one thing happening that you can't forget- Scarface (Girl you Know)

    Life is but a dream to me
    I don't wanna wake up
    Thirty odd years without having my cake up
    So I'm about my paper
    24/7, 365,366 in a leap year
    Jay Z - Beach Chair

    But still got boys on the block and fam, smokin rock
    So please, miss me with that conscious ?
    I spent many a sleepless night because of it
    Until I had to shake that ? off and reach the conclusion
    That every now and then you gotta ask yourself
    Do you really wanna win or just look good losin?
    Phonte - Dreams

    I let you stay in my crib, now you know where I live
    when you was hungry, fed you a hot meal, look at the hand you deal
    me crudball business giving ? inches so here, take a foot
    luck only counts in rabbit's feet and horseshoes,
    experience is sometimes the best teacher until we get our own plate
    I hope you don't mind me eating off of yours...

    I know how it feel to wake up ? up
    pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
    people look at you like yous the user
    selling drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser
    but they don't know about the stressed filled days
    baby on the way, mad bills to pay
    that's why you drink tanqueray, so you can reminisce
    and wish you wasn't living so devilish..
