Ay yo, this is a thread to just post some of your favorite lyrics and greatest lyrics from songs...
Didn't see a thread for this, and if there was one, it's too old right now...

I just felt like sharing this piece of total brilliance from Chino XL, it's worth reading more than once to get it completely. :D


"Wordsmyth"- Chino XL

CHORUS)
Perfection
flawless masterpiece, no mistakes
Back in the1800s I was burned at the stake
Metaphor Mephistopheles,
Degrees I’ve achieved
The brain fluid it takes to believe
would equal the seven seas
I could reveal the true name of God
But you would go insane upon hearing it
Release enough winds to
blow down pyramids
I’m the Michelangelo of syllable
Since I freestyle
Genesis been biblical
That’s something you got to give in to

(Verse I)
Since born in my mama’s vaginal sauna
As a sonogram, I’ve been fond of phonics
It’s ironic, even as an embryonic
Fed through an umbilical
don’t that sound biblical?
I’ve been a terror
Since I teareth out of the uterus
Because evil plans were made to defeat us
As a fetus
Though now I walk in infamy
As a child they had it in for me
Was raised with guns in infantry
In diapers and in infancy
The childhood of a hood
that was raised in the hood
Cops said “put your hands in the hot sky”
I put my hands down on the hot hood
I can’t whine or drink wine
Nine planets planned it
‘Til it became apparent
My parents shouldn’t have been a parent
State to state we ran some
I wasn’t worth no ransom
Money, won’t you hand some?
A ••••• wasn’t handsome
Raise the mind like Charles Manson’s
New I was some man’s son
But which one?
That made me strong
created my poison tongue…

CHORUS

(Verse II)
Why you cut school?
Cause you ain’t feel too good
I cut school
cause my cuts ain’t heal too good
Through all the physical abuse
My mind escaped
through the gift of wordplay
I memorized encyclopaedias and dictionaries
I wrote anthems from antonyms
Harmonies from homonyms
Created cinema from synonyms
Was livid to eliminate
that illustrious life you’re livin’ in
Wrote rhetoricals in rhythms
Made rhymes out of religion
Use a prefix as a crucifix
Or suffocate you with a suffix
Wrote lectures so infectious
They’re known to infect the listeners
Who dissin’ us?
Yo punks you wait – I punctuate
My karma’s the comma
That put you inside of a coma
Hyphen, semi-colon, dot, dot
Leave you semi-swollen
Question: You pregnant?
Oh you’re not? I love you, Period.
To sum it up, language is my essence
$$$$ed up in all my adolescence
Till my Mom’s was out of lessons
Laws, I store convenient
Still I rob a convenience store
Love Mom, $$$$ Mom,
$$$$, I don’t love me no more
Mentally it didn’t register, $$$$
Empty the register, $$$$
You just a cashier, $$$$
Give the cash, here
Or I’ll shoot you in your cabbage
Hijack a getaway cab, $$$$
Words ain’t makin’ me no loot
Don’t change now Dow Jones average
Regardless, we’re Godless
They stole my innocence
In a sense, the judge sentenced me
To 3 lifetimes sentences
To put my life in times and sentences
Art my dark archnemesis
They want me off the premises
That’s what the premise is
Locked on a tier
where you can’t shed a tear at
I studied more Shakespeare
Than any African can shake a spear at
And the whole world fears that
And it hurts
I got caught for killing time
But then I got with words

CHORUS

(Bridge)
People can say whatever they want about me
But agree that I am the Wordsmith
They can try to ignore everything that I’ve achieved
But agree that I am the Wordsmith
I am the Wordsmith
The love of words is deep in my brain
Must be to silence my pain
I am the Wordsmith

(Verse III)
I’m in a game full of morons
And they keep putting more on
I tutor the Torah
I’m in the core of the Qu’aran
The mind’s what I represent
And mc’s better re-present
I’m taking this rappin’ bull$$$$
to the fullest extent
I have reservations
why Indians are on reservations
Told that board of education
I was bored of education
As far as this go
I leave you deader than Disco
Rocking sex and violence
Over sax and violins
Through your minds camera lens
You’re in need of an ambulance
I’ll knock you to the asphalt
It’s your own $$$$ fault
Your last thought
I’ll never sell my self short to be famous
And taking it up the anus just ain’t us
The world could get the penis
Of this classically trained pianist
My P.O. was p.o.’d
Handed me a cup, told me to “pee in this”
The linguist musician
My college position is that my intuition
Told me I wouldn’t be affordin’ tuition
My education’s all on my own
I might have been born yesterday
But I rhyme like there’s no tomorrow…

well im listenin to unholy confessions by A7X so im just gonna post the lyrics. cuz im bored lol.

"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
"Try not to lose you."
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
unmasked fear.
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.

Nothing hurts my world,
just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood,
you'll be the one to fall.

"I wish I could be the one,
the one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
I know it's hard to fall.
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."

Nothing will last in this life,
our time is spent constructing,
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Constrict your hands around me,
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
this air tastes dead inside me,
contribute to our plague.
Break all your promises,
tear down this steadfast wall,
restraints are useless here,
tasting salvation's near.

AH!!

Nothing hurts my world,
just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood,
you'll be the one to fall.

"I wish I could be the one,
the one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
I know it's hard to fall.
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."

AH!!

I'd have to say 'use your fist and not your mouth' by Marilyn Manson, but I like alot of other ones, but I'll just post this one:

Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!

I am overground, outselling it
Since God thinks I don't exist
The beatings happen per minute
This is not blue collar white corrective politics
I'm on an hate, american style, kick

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on! Come on, come on!)

I'm on a campaign for pain
And when I get elected
I'll wipe the white off your house
The smile off your face

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on! Come on, come on!)

I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want even be myself

I said no, this isn't your song
We can't all get along
It's too hard to hold hands when your hands are fists
My hate pop won't ever stop
I'm $$$$ing glad we're different
This is my hate american style
hit

Don't bring
Don't sing it
Use your fist and not your mouth

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on! Come on, come on!)

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on! Come on, come on!)

I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want even be myself

Understanding by Evanescence. I made the best part of the song red, it REALLY makes you think!!!

"You hold the answers deep within your own mind.
Consciously, you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind works.
Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always there."


(Can't wash it all away)
(Can't Wish it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
(Can't cry it all away)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we idolize
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We're supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

"You're not alone, honey."
"Never... Never."

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, No,no, no ,no.

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

(Can't fight it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away
(It all away)
"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"Because I'm dying too."
"Because I'm dying too."
"Because I'm dying too."
"Because I'm dying too."
"Because I'm dying too."

I like Evanescence. They're good.
I can't really pick a specific song because I LOVE Bright Eyes and all their lyrics are amazing, but here's one I'm just thinking of now. It's called "Don't know when but day's gonna come"

Is it true what I heard about the Son of God
Did he come to save, did he come at all
And if I dried his feet
With my dirty hair
Would he make me clean again

They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will just go black
It will just go back
To the way it was before

I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
And every man wanted her and so did I
And so did I
But she up and died
In a fit of vanity

Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they will kill a man for what his father has done
But what my father did
You know it don't mean $$$$
I'm not him

And you think I need some discipline well I've had my share
I have been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair
And I held my tongue
I didn't plug my ears
No I got a good talking to

Now I don’t know why but I still try to smile
When they talk at me like I’m just a child
Well I’m not a child
No I am
Much younger than that

And now I have read some books and I have grown quite brave
If I could just speak up I think I would say
That there is no truth
There is only you
And what you make the truth

So I will just sing my songs and I'll pass a hat
Then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back
No I don't look back
Because the road is clear
Layed out ahead of me

I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
And we will share a drink
Yeah we'll share our fears
And they will know how I love them
They will know how I love
They will know how I love them
I am nothing without their love

Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will all go black
It will all go back
To the way it is supposed to be

Is it true what they say about the Son of God
Did he die for us, did he die at all
And if I sold my soul
For a bag of gold
To you which one of us would be the foolish one
Which one if us would be the fool
Which one if us would be the fool
Which one if us would be the fool

Could you please start explaining
You know I need some understanding
I could do with some explaining
You know I want to understand

Gotta be Papa Roach - Broekn Homes

I can't seem to fight these feelings
I'm caught in the middle of this
My wounds are not healing
I'm stuck in between my parents
I wish I had someone to talk to
Someone to confide in
I just want to know the truth
I just want to know the truth
Broken home
All alone
I know my father loves me
But does my father even care
If I'm sad or I'm angry
You were never ever there
When I needed you
I hope you regret what you did
I think I know the truth
Your father did the same to you
I'm crying day and night now
What is wrong with me
I cannot fight now
I feel like a weak link
Push it back inside
It feels bad to be alone
Crying by yourself, living in a broken home
How could I tell it so y'all could feel it
Depression strikes me hard like my old earth would tell it
To me, her son, she told me I'm the one
Pain bottled up about to blow like a gun
Stories that I tell are nonfiction
And you can't take it back casue it's already done
Broken home


Main reason, is because it is the story of my life... to a point

"Diamonds and Guns" by The Transplants

Taken more shots than carl malone
Battle looms, your doom, injustice entombed
Who got the diamonds? who gonna find them?
Who gonna find them when the time comes?
Diamonds and guns, diamonds and guns

[chorus:]
It’s a wicked world that we live in it’s cruel
And unforgiving
It’s a wicked world that we live in it’s cruel
And unforgiving

Knock, knock, knock, who’s that? it’s momma, son
Lookin’ for the $$$$ who took the money and run
Now the daylight’s gone and there’s no more fun
And who’s the $$$$in’ $$$$ who stole all the heroin?
Heroin, heroin, it’s all gone
Smoked it all up, and now you got none
And now you look around and that’s not the plan
This is not what you had in mind

I shot in heaven, now I cry
No one lives forever, in fact we all die
From those who bust shots to those who stuff cops
To those who serve rocks on all the hard blocks

Every last soul must pay the last toll
In the dice game of life, who gets the last roll?
Is it the one with the suit? the one with the sack?
The one who hides behind his $$$$in’ gun and his badge?
Negative outlook? well that’s how I’m livin’
And like he said, it’s a wicked world we live in
It’s a wicked world we live in

I’m wiggin out, flippin’ out, heart is what I’m rippin’ out
I’m slippin’ out, I’m dippin’ out, killin’s what I’m livin’ out
Pick ’em, let me pick ’em out, spin and let me whip it out
Gat to your face with the $$$$in’ bullets stickin’ out
Missin’ out, diss and bout, blood’s what you’re pissin’ out
84 I’m crazy crazy horse, shootin’ up, I’m illin’ out
Rippin’ out, I’m trippin’ out, different now, I’m pimpin’ out
Any color at my belt and ouch while theyre clippin out
Criminal I’m hittin’ out, in l.a. no gettin’ out
2 1 3, pack your p, fly wicked style
Listen now, I’m sinnin’ out, a 6-pack I’m sippin’ out

[chorus]

HYPNOTIZE
Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square Was fashion the reason
why they were there They disguise it hypnotize it Television made you
buy it

I'm just sitting in my car
And waiting for my

She's scared that I will take her away from there Her dreams and her
country left with no one there Mezmerize the simple minded Propaganda
leaves us blinded

I'm just sitting in my car
And waiting for my girl

I'm just sitting in my car
And waiting for my girl

I'm just sitting in my car
And waiting for my girl

I'm just sitting in my car
And waiting for my girl

Maxwell's silver hammer is awesome, even if you've never heard it before.


I also like Paul Simon - the sound of silence. ^^

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come with talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone
Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared
To stir the sound of silence

Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made
And the sign flashed its warning in the words that it was forming
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence


*cough* Yeah. Both are 100% more awesome if you know the tune. I could go on and on about Belle and Sebastian and Arrogent Worms, but I shan't, because I doubt 99.99% of ya'll wouldn't get it and the other .1 percent would laugh at me for my crappy taste in music. :shakefist:

So what if I'm obssessed?

<div align=center>My Medea Lyrics
Album : Warm Strangers
Artist : Vienna Teng </div>

inside the labyrinth walls
there lies a tiny child who sleeps alone
and as the daylight falls
the wind becomes so wild across the stone

for I have made her prison be
her every step away from me
and this child I would destroy
if you tried to set her free

so come to me my love
I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry
can never have enough
for you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky

for it's my thoughts that bind me here
it's this love that I most fear
and this child I would destroy
for I hold her pain most dear

no haven for this heart
no shelter for this child in mazes lost
heaven keep us apart
a curse for every mile of ocean crossed

for I must die for what I've done
a twist of fate a desert sun
for I see what I destroy
sweet reflection knife into me
for I see what I destroy
I can see what I've begun
