Because I heard it earlier and god bless the dead that man was a prophet

".. and if we don't we'll have a race of babies that hate the ladies who make the babies " -Tupac

Whole song but damn if this line ain't true right here on the coli.

 

[ItzDaKiing]

I rather die enormous than enormous than live dormant, that's how we on it/live from the main event, you can bet a trip to Maui on it...

I'm watching every nikka watching me closely/shyt is butter, for the bread they wanna toast me/I keep my head; both of them where they suppose to be/hoes will get you sidetracked and clapped from close feet...

Can I Live? Had so much quotables but does are my favorites.

Fixed.

 

[Reactor1804]

I catch a few flashbacks about, going through the struggle
How we used to make dollars, from all the snow we shoveled
In a broke neighborhood, where the kids often dream
About a lavish life, that is mostly seen in the screen
Where some dreams are quickly cut short, due to gang violence
From loud guns, that kept witnesses, in deep silence
Was it bad timing? Jealousy from too much shining?
Or a set up, from a girl that he wined, kept dining
It's a known fact, they will attack, cause it's like that
And depending on the, kind of impact, that strike back
In a town where the talk is cheap and, beef is brief
A mother sobs uncontrollably, and exhibit the grief
Large holes in the front door, of a housing tenement
Allows room to retaliate, so conflict is imminent
This hate in the brain, destroys the cells like cancer
Even experts are stuck with more questions than answers

Peace to the god GZA!

"Long as your momma love you, don't ever love a women" - Wale

 

[So-Chi]

Another one, especially when it comes to relationships...

"Sometimes I think I'm from another world
when I'm trying to tell a woman just exactly where I stand at
I want a girl when I want a girl
and when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that." - Phonte, "Slow It Down"

Came to post this and the bars that come a little after it:
"And that's some hard shyt to explain
To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing

Until I had to figure that I don't wanna play around
But I don't wanna settle down
And that's a man's dilemma.."

 

[L. Deezy]

I tried to learn the game
and the only thing I found incredible
Everything I tried to learn see, I already knew
And it's embedded in my heart now --Nas

^^^^^Most of mine are from Street Dreams remix.. but, this probably hits closest to home. We out here chasing all the wrong shyt early on with friends and girls and money... and then it hits you like.. wow, what your parents were telling you about life early on was straight up real...

Nike make a killing off us, we kill each other, it kills me to see that

"..cuz everybody real until you catch 'em being fake" - Fab

"it's easy to love me now,
but would you love me if
I was down, and out,
Girl, would you stilll have love for me?"

"Trade the Grammy plaques, just to have my granny back
I Remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack
Chasing the stardom will turn you to a maniac
All the way in Hollywood, and I can't even act
They pull their cameras out and goddamn he snapped
I used to want this thing forever, y'all can have it back" - Ye
