I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

Honestly this is an all-time great hiphop verse to me. And to think these young whores only have Nicki Minaj to look up to these days :(

no its not...youre letting the nostalgia cloud your judgement

Nah breh, the fact that it's one of the biggest hits of all time, and Lisa managed to sprinkle in a legendary real ass verse on some mainstream shyt...Honestly only Lauryn Hill lyrically has ever done some shyt like that female wise...If not Top 10 Top 25 without a doubt

this isnt even her hottest verse.

on some real chit, it always gets ignored on here when i say this, but she is a legendary female mc. she's clearly better than some of the so-called all-time great femaler rappers. and she hopped on tracks with a bunch of female legends and chitted on them. only jawn that was on a track with her that came nicer was da brat.

top 20 female rapper. definitely.

Do disrespect to Lisa, but You saying that like its a compliment nukka? :smugfavre:

I dare you to name 20 other female rappers, with or without having to google that shyt, and see if your names don't start getting shytty after like 8 or 9 :dwillhuh:


In no order:

Lauryn Hill
MC Lyte
Roxanne Shante
Da Brat
Yo Yo
Queen Latifah
Left Eye
Lil Kim
Foxy Brown
Missy

Who else is there? Trina? Remy Ma? Gangsta Boo? Nicki Minaj? :noah:

i can name PLENTY of dope and/or important female rappers.

SALT N PEPA
remy ma - are you insinuating that she aint hot?
mia x
ms jade
lady of rage
eve
rah digga
II Tru
da 5 footaz
deadly venoms
charli baltimore
vita

thats in no order but thats enough for a top 25 right there. and theres other good ones that i didnt even mention.

i'd throw left eye in the top 20. she would be even higher than that if she wouldve dropped an album.

gangsta boo was alright. why the hate?
