The G.O.A.T Simple Lines/Bars in Hip-Hop...

[H. Selassie]

What are some lines you love that don’t necessarily have any intricate wordplay or punchline but hit hard when you hear them? One for me was...

“Then I bow my head, and beg for forgiveness
Once I say my prayer, everybody back to business!” - Rick Ross (Mafia Music)

This line is hard to me on some Don/Boss shyt. Having to do a bunch of dirt to get to the top, having a moment of reflection, then back to being ruthless.

"You can't see like Stevie, I'm on TV"

I'm like every time I hear Havoc say this.
