so many to choose from but a lot of people probably haven't even heard this Crooked I verse... which tbh, is one of my all time favorite verses
ever
@2:00
"I spent mindless hours, on my rise to power,
with this timeless flow, let my rhyme devour
every beat cuz it's blow, every line is powder,
had the balls to do it, never mind u cowards,
It was all influenced by the n****s before me
the cops called me truant, they ain't livin my story
sent ghetto prayers, God didn't ignore me,
he gave me the strength to succeed; gotta give him the glory
sometimes I feel that I'm the realest he invented
poverty played a good game but I knew I would win it
I went through hell gettin this money independent
so much drama I'm almost too tired to spend it
my English is broken, my features are scarred,
with each of my arms, I reach for the stars,
I'm 'nice' with the wordplay, 'mean' with the bars,
serve 'oxy' to 'morons', hit my team with cigars
Conquer the world with my rap pages,
hit the stages, bring ghetto to Pantages
And my chicks be hood, the keyshia coles n fantasias
I'm Hip Hop, Pumas and fat laces
and I'ma be movin this chronic on hennessy and vodka
I'm an alco-booz-a-moholic
just to prove that I'm brolic, I jump in the swamp with an alligator;
come up with shoes and a wallet - I'm a survivor!"
