"When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose." - Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

[OnePimpTiger]

Forgot this one:

"He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is.

...

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

...

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Kicking hippies ***** and raising ****."
- Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother - Jerry Jeff Walker

Gangstar--Work

Are you working?
What kind of work do you do?

Uhh...
("Boy, what is it you want to do when you grow up?)

Aiyyo I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
I've been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate

Now I'ma start collectin props, connectin plots
networkin like a conference, cause the nonsense is yet to stop
Jakes shake me down, haters wanna take me down
Break me down, CLAP all they heard was the sound
Yo I scoped it out, I took your weak dream and choked it out
Your women don't really got no behind., she just poked it out
on the deelow, I'm sayin, you versus me though?
We can do this stuff right here, in front of your people
See time is money kid, and BS walks
And to me, it's funny kid when you meat heads talk
I see Feds stalk, they wanna dig up the dirt
Son is it me they hawk, cause I be puttin in work Son?

Aiyyo I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
I've been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate

You cornballs get stonewalled, blackballed I own y'all
The veteran, runnin my plan I'm the better man
Crazy raw, doin my job like the mob
Blazin y'all, and disappearin in the fog
or a mist, and chicks can't resist what I kick
They be beggin for attention or some more of the dillznick
Word up baby, someone may have to get hurt up baby
Stuff is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy
Platinum respect like the force of a tech
keep you hittin the deck, feelin heat in your chest
Bangin your thoughts with the hot onslaught
A kid got shot on the spot for goin where he should not
Viciously, I make history, instantly
Those other lame *** loser *** men, they can't mess with me
I'm doin my thing now, to lamp later on
Paid in the shade, with some fly gators on
But now I'm grimy as they get, mud on my pants and shirt
I bet you men out here know, I be puttin in work

Aiyyo I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
I've been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate

John Prine-illegal smile

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin' .. no fun

Chorus:
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin' to get away
From all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought... what then?
Well I went to court
And the judge's name was Hoffman

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun

there's too many great artists with great lyrics....i'm just going to give you some Canibus lyrics for now


I stand outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, selling reefer
puffing a chalice with the beefeaters
getting so high that whenever I drop sh**
it will land on the window of an airplane cockpit
Canibus with the hot sh**, crazy hot click
n***** is bloody, idiots thinking they can stop it
I'll increase my strength to a superhuman extent
your rhymes aint worth sixpence
and if you can hear, smell, see, touch and taste
then you don't need six senses to feel me punch you in the face
from Princeton to Clapham Commons
my lyrics invade Europe like Josef Stalin to murder cats for rhyming
spitting fire, with gasoline for saliva
drunk as Lady Diana's driver with reporters behind her
alcohol in the hands of a minor
i got you panicking like bombs set with 30 second timers
clear the building, evacuate women & children
f*** what you feeling, i came here to kill them
straight sh**in, from New York to Great Britain
and when we do shows, we make the Queen pay admission


I speak in frequencies dogs would have trouble hearing
Canibus is the lyrical version of german engineering
raw methaphors keep you high for months
fly around the earth twice without refueling once............
I'll battle you on the net, I'll battle you in the flesh
I'll battle you over the phone you can call me collect
I'll battle you for the respect, I'll battle you over a blank check
I'll battle you with a gun to my neck
I'll battle you standing over the toilet, with my d*** out
I'll battle you juggling a hand grenade with the pin out
or in a stolen car with the VIN number ripped out
drinking a Guinness Stout doing a 360 spin out


I'll hop into the backseat of a cab and rhyme
until the meter says nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
line for line, i'll battle any type of MC at any time
whether they signed or unsigned, with many lines
more lines than a million pairs of Adidas
more lines than the bible quoted from Jesus
more lines than an african herd of zebras
rappers just aint f***in with the Canibus Sativa


Canibus is an animal with a mechanical mandible
comin to damage you, spittin understandable slang at you
I be the all seeing lyrical, hammerhead sharp peripheral
with 360 degree visual
when the signal is given, MCs get biten with venom
from a poisonous algorithm liable to kill 'em
my style will get in 'em, way up in 'em
my face don't belong in The Source
it belongs on the Shroud of Turin, for certain
I grab mics and murder sh**
it's wickeder than Satan worshippers going to Catholic church services
you heard of this lyrical verbalist, slash herbalist
the wrath of my cold-blooded verses is merciless
rap snap, get your *** cracked like bear traps
contaminate your air sacs like tear gas
and I swear black, try to battle me, you won't last
I'll turn your *** into the artist formerly known as,
you gay *** ***, I'll blow you to ashes with tactics
strip you naked and make you hug a cactus, you b*****d

1958- A Day To Remember.
You've sunk lower than I've ever seen,
and even though you deserved this
I tried to catch your fall
I've grown so tired of your childish threats
Know that I'll never run from anything

And I'll burn the building if I knew you'd die
And I'll pray you're a failure
And that you won't make it out alive
[x2]

Here's where we prove all your fairytales wrong
This all stops tonight
Swim in your sea of smoke
Until your lungs lose the fight
It's over
This all stops tonight
Or prove me wrong

What have you become trough your jealousy?
You've threatened my life, my friends and family
This is your last wrong turn in your life
and this dead end leads to a blood bath
your blood bath

And I'll burn the building if I knew you'd die
And I'll pray you're a failure
And that you won't make it out alive
[x2]

Here's where we prove all your fairytales wrong
This all stops tonight
Swim in your sea of smoke
Until your lungs lose the fight
It's over
This all stops tonight
Or prove me wrong

You'll never stop us with your one-man army
We would burn him alive
You'll never stop us with your one-man army
If you're such a man then bring the fight
[x2]

This is me calling you out
You want to talk like a man, then be a man
Stop talking like you're something (We're paging 1958)
You always have so much to say but it's never to our faces
I'm right here
(We're paging 1958)

We're all one and the same
We're moving on, and living our dreams (We're paging 1958)
We're all one and the same
We're moving on, and living our dreams (We're paging 1958)

[Stlouisrams1600]

This is also one of my favorites.
Up Against The Ropes- August Burns Red.
Pushed up against the ropes, you wouldn't last another round.
I never wished for you to suffer like this.
You would not listen.
We will survive, the strong, the fortunate, the never ending.
We will survive through thick and thin.
Looking in the mirror, seeing a trouble reflection.
This is our darkest hour.
Remember what you said when we waved our goodbyes.
We're all dead in the end, so live life while you can.
You've abandoned me.
You've abandoned all of us.
We've forgiven you, so forgive yourself.
I have little sympathy for this divorce story.
Stand in front of the jury, with no happy ending.

[lizbalt]

We got problems
Yeah we got cancer
We lose our girlfriends
Our mothers our brothers

Then we gain some friends and we love them for them
And we’ll be great parents great uncles, cousins
Our hearts are little clocks screaming “TICK tock
Tick tock!”
Apple. Apples- Trophy Scars

I remember when we were just sixteen and dreaming
Drinking in the basement just shouting and screaming
Listening to our favorite records all while thinking
Someday we're gonna be there on stage all singing
Remember breaking hearts and getting hearts broken
Lying to our parents about what we were smoking
Solving all our problems with bottles and women
Even though we knew we were better without them
Assistant. Assistants- Trophy Scars
