Rhyme Of The Day


Turntable

Recommended Posts

-"Just think, just think, what if Malcolm X returned

or Dr. King returned, tell me what have we learned?

As we takin our turn, tell me what have we earned

or is the ice and the cars our only concern

Mo' money, mo' money, you be yellin it out

And on TV can't you see you be sellin us out

So in 2010, look to 2002

Who you think they gonna respect, me or you?"-KRS-ONE "Take It To God"

"Who was there for when there was no-one around?

Who had some time when there was no love to be found?

Tell me baby, baby why u keep on doubtin me?

Mama used to tell me, Misery loves company

Now that I'm grown I see what she meant (just what she meant)

Why is it people hate to see things when its right?

And for some reason they come and try to mess up their life (tell me why)"-Keith Sweat "Trust Me"

I must post this whole song:

[Akrobatik]

Yeah, it was written in the books of Europeans we were savage

That our history was insignificant and minds below average

But how can one diminish the work

Of the most imitated culture on this earth

Fast foward to 2000 and now

You see it everywhere you look, speech, music, fasion and style

It's black dialogue

Go ahead kid, try it on

It's much harder to master than precision with firearms

Corny nig**z switch it up and rent it to Viacom

But it was taught to me early on by my mom

Master yourself, for maximum outreach potential

Respect that you get from that will roll exponential

Preferential treatment, brings us heat when

It only goes to those who rock the diamonds and sequence

They invite the kiddies to the video show

To watch the fake t***y models all act like ho*s

I guessed it goes the more ignorance the more pressed

But everywhere I look I see black people with more stress

But does that mean we should be shucking and jiving

F**king and kniving just to keep our bank accounts thriving

See I walked the path my elder laid out

Cause acting like a monkey for white folks is played out

I get my own money, on my own turn

Got heat for everybody, watch the microphone burn

[Mr. Lif]

let me tell you about my nig**z nowadays

Nowadays nig**z acting like slaves because it pays many ways

A, to get the pu**y - B, to get the cars

C, the jewels around their neck

But their demise is not farfetched

Step with that Uncle Tom, f**king palm action

And my TV's always off because I see something truely black then

Aww sh*t, got a call from Brother Malcolm

Awakening from the grave, he's asking "what the fu*k happened"

I said these ni***z all want homes in the Hamptons

It's Dimension shows so they do what white man asks them

Throwing money at the screen that other brother ain't catching

Yes, hellish foes, and now they rest in peace, thanks for asking

They rather teach eachother how to fire chrome than to buy a home

There's power in the land that we own

You need capital to start to win the capitialism

Take the money from the sales and find a place to be living

Rather black landlords than white chalk on the floor

Our mentalities for casualites are keeping us poor

And the poor teach the rich how to work

Rich teach the kids how to invest

Hence we dying from stress

And the rhythm from the drums shine its own sun

My father said, "you think a brighter day ever gon' come"

I said, "pop, rock the beat box

and I'm a empty out my mind cause I'm around till I drop"

Yo, Martin and Malcolm knew it

Black dialogue

Grandma Moses drew it

Black dialogue

Stevie Wonder seen it

Black dialogue

Many aim the steam with

Black dialogue

Jim Brown, ran with

Black dialogue

Huey Newton had a plan with

Black dialogue

Chuck D took a stand for

Black dialogue

KRS is the man with

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue

The whole world is after

Black dialogue

"When I was born there was a rainbow formed with no sun

Roy G Bid marking the path for the chosen one

An angel, my grandma, told me before she died

Smart folks don't need to put no cursing in they rhymes

So from CD to TV to movies back to rhymin'

My lifestats makes Jordan's six rings seem common

Ya'll hate, I retaliate, just by being great

Big Will the enemy of your mental state

With the same rhyme I used to burn your idol in a battle

To subdue you into saying, "Look, I don't wanna battle,"-Will Smith "I'm Comin'"

"This is the way it's supposed to be

It's supposed to be like you more close to me

It's supposed to be about our families

It's supposed to be about avoiding catastrophe

But it's all about salary and flattery

Distrust, lust, hate and tragedy

It's supposed to be about you and me on the same route

Were you there in eighty-six when I first came out?

And you know about how they runnin' this game out

It's supposed to be about fun and getting' the pain out

But it's all about clout and poppin' them chains out

Instead of forgiveness, we poppin' they brains out

It's supposed to be about seekin' in the seek out

You witnessin' injustice, you got to speak out

If you claimin' you love this, you got to release doubt

Knowledge is what I'm all about"-KRS-ONE "It Ain't The Same"

Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade

Where's the enemy? Who do I invade?

Bullets of Teflon, bulletproof vest rip

Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips

Cause I got a family that waits for my return

To get back home is my main concern

I'ma get back to New York in one piece

but I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets

Sky lights up like fireworks blind me

Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me...

President Bush said attack

Flashback to Nam, I might not make it back

Missile hits the area, screams wake me up

from a war of dreams, heat up the M-16

Basic training, trained for torture

Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya

Addicted to murder, send more bodybags

They can't identify em, leave the nametags

I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor

Casualtys of war..

Rakim-Casualtys of War

'Aint a rapper dead or alive f'n wit me

Ask the last bitch that tried to come and get me

Talk about paper, I can talk about broads

I can talk about movies, I can talk about awards

F the fantasies, yo I got all four"-LL Cool J-"G.O.A.T. Intro"

Yeah, I pray every day for a better life

I think it's gon' get better but it's like I'm never right

Make about it Christ, I'm on both of my knees

There's no hope, that why I'm smokin the trees

Damn, all for the chees, I lost both of my mans

That's why this toast is in the both of my hands

Damn, and I'll sell coke and birds 'fore I go to work

I go to the Range more than I go to church

My whole mentality twisted, but this reality isn't it

I ain't tryin to be fatality listed

And yo reverend, gettin dough is like goin to heaven

And goin to jail, like goin to hell

But before I go in the grave, I'll go in the cell

Just send my son mo' dough in the mail

Oh well, but I got god on my side so I'm beatin the case

This life crazy but I'm keepin the fait..

"When young sons fantasize of borrowing flows

tell little shorty with the big mouth the bank is closed (yeah, word up)

The symbol on my arm is off limits to challengers

You hold the rusty swords I swing the Excalibur

How dare you step up in my dimension

Your little a** should be somewher cryin on detention

Watch your mouth better yet hold your tongue

I'ma do this s*** for free this time this one's for fun

Blow you to pieces, leave you covered in feces

with one thesis ("LL Cool J is hard")

Every little boy wanna pick up the mic

and try to run with the big boys and live up to the real hype

But that's like pickin up a ball, playin with Mike

Swingin at Ken Griffey or challengin Roy to a fight

Snappin, you ameteur MC's

Don't you know I'm like the Dream Team tourin overseas

For rappers in my circle I'm a deadly disease

Ringmaster, bringin a tiger cub to his knees (uhh)

In the history of rap they've never seen such prominence

Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)

Now let's get back to this mic on my arm

If it ever left my side it'd transform into a time bomb

You don't wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize

And you don't wanna make me mad n*** you wanna socalize

And I'm daring every MC in the game

to play yourself out position, and mention my name

I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name

Go platinum for every time your grimy a** was on the train

Watch your mouth don't ever step out of line

LL Cool J n****, greatest of all time"-LL "4,3,,2,1"

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight

You see the same damn thing

It's just a different day

And no one really knows why this is happening

But it's happening

And everywhere you go it's just a different place

You get the same dark feeling

See the same sad faces

No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world

We are all the same

And in that moment there's no one to blame

But the world is black

And hearts are cold

And there's no hope

That's what we're told

And we can't go back

It won't be the same

Forever changed

By the things we've seen , seen

Living in this place

It's always been this way

There's no one doing nothing

So there's nothing changed

And I can't live when this world

Just keeps dying

It's dying

People always tell me, this is part of the plan

That God's got everybody in his hands

But I can only pray that God is listening

Is he listening

Good Charlotte-The Wolrd

Those Dudes got some deep lyrics on they`r new CD..I gues they aren`t "Thats the anthem get you`r dam hands up" boys anymore..

The Voice of the Singer is great on some Tracks..He could make a Soul album..

I was in the game before publishing was an issue

Your platinum now, but next year I'm gonna miss you

Oh don't see my name

You don't see my spot

Heres a hint

Look closer to the top
