What Are Some Lyrics That Really Speak To You?

Or you just think are cool or w/e cool

Give me some of the faves you have!

Here are w few off the top of my head

''Families buying dog food now Starvation roams the streets Babies die before they're born
Infected by the grief''- Stevie Wonder, Village Ghetto Land

''To her, death is quite romantic / She wears an iron vest / Her profession's her religion / Her sin is her lifelessness / And though her eyes are fixed upon / Noah's great rainbow / She spends her time peeking / Into Desolation Row- Bob Dylan, Desolation Row

''It's a holiday in cambodia, it's tough kid but it's life. It's holiday in Cambodia don't forget to pack a wife''- Dead Kennedys, Holiday in Cambodia

"Every artist is a cannable, every poet is a theif, They steal their insparation and sing about their greif." - U2, The Fly

''Everything dies baby that's a fact,But maybe everything that dies someday comes backPut your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City- Bruce Springsteen, Atlantic City

''Men see their dreams and aspiration-a Crumble in front of their face,And all of their wicked intention To destroy the human race''- Bob Marley, Chant Down Baby

''Excuse us for the news, You might not be amused But did you know white comes from Black
No need to be confused''- Public Enemy, Fear Of A Black Planet

''I saw a cop beat a priest on the TV and they know they killed our heroes too We sing the death song kids because we've got no future and we want to be just like you''- Marilyn Manson, The Fight Song

''Crime is increasing, trigger happy policing, Panis is spreading God know's where we are heading''- Marvin Gaye, Inner City Blues

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

I usually don't pay attention to lyrics, but I identify with a song called Assault And Battery by Howard Jones because I'm vegan.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Talk Habibi

Cyber Single - Prince

You Are wonderful

Beauty - Dru Hill

Summer breezes

Moonliight teases

Friendly invasion

Late night persuasion

I wanna give you

Everlasting Love - Rufus

I seen her in the subway, on my way to Brooklyn
Hello, good looking, is this seat tooken
On the A-train, picking at her brain
I couldn't get her number, I couldn't get her name
I said I still like your style of fashion
But I hate your high sidity attitude wit a passion
Is it because brothers like to hawk alot
Is it because your shine don't chalk alot
She turned away, no play, I said ok
You don't really look good, hope you have a bad day
Sat back, relaxed though the ride was tight
I was thinking of the rhymes I wrote last night
Next stop was mine, a familar scene
I was meeting my friend, killer Ben in Fort Greene
Where the girls are real, they tell ya how they feel
If you're soft, you're soft, or if you're hard like steel
See i don't bend and I won't rust
And I don't break and I won't bust
Stomped up the street and did I hear a treat?
Hard high heels tappin' on the concrete
I took a peek, it was the girl from the train behind me
Did she live in the area, was she trying to find me?
Hm, I didn't wanna play myself out
I played it off, stopped and I bought a Guiness Stout
Now was she shy, she didn't walk by
She came in the store then she even said hi
Curiosity- at a high velocity
Maybe possibly she had the hots for me
i said if we're playing games then we're gonna play mine
I'm a lay the rules 'cause it ain't much time
If you hide your feelings, and it aint hard to find,
I wanna know what's on your mind

Whats On Your Mind - Rakim

Im not talking bout movin in

And I dont wanna change your life

But theres a warm wind blowin and the stars are out

And Id realy luv to see you tonight

Id Really Love to See You Tonight - Parker McGee

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the
heavens;
Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the
same.
First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted
forever,
But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke
our hearts.
You said, "Hope we meet again."
I said, "Yes, just tell me when."
Please don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.

Dont Make Me Wait Too Long - Stevie Wonder

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant ---- to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother---- him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

Fragile Sting

Mathematics of Love - George Clinton

We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all.
