ABSOLUTELY LINES PART 1

NURI OTUS

WHAT IS THIS? Hip-hop is one of my passions, so I especially appreciate strong lyrical content.

This is a series called “Absolutely (fire) Lines” where I show you some of the best hip-hop stanzas out. Each presentation will feature 5-10 songs depending on how amazing the game is.

** Disclaimer: I’ve censored the lyrics for profanity. But definitely know that artists use powerful words for bold statements. Every word counts.

LETS GET IT!

“So don’t matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers

Or tell Georgia State “Marcus Garvey got all the answers”

Or try to celebrate February like it’s my B-Day

Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays

Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements

Or watch BET cause urban support is important

So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?

When gang banging make me kill a n**** blacker than me?

Hypocrite!”

THE BLACKER THE BERRY– KENDRICK LAMAR

“I heard a little little homie talking reckless in Vibe

That’s quite the platform you chose, you should’ve kept it inside

Oh, you tried

It’s so childish calling my name on the world stage

You need to act you age and not your girl’s age

It gets worse by the annual, my career’s like a “how to” manual

So I guess it’s understandable, man

Oh, you gotta love it”

6PM IN NEW YORK - DRAKE

“I hope you get a paper cut on your tongue

From a razor in a paper cup

I hope every soda you drink already shaken up

I hope your dreams dry like raisins in the baking sun

I hope your t*tties all saggy in your early 20s

I hope there’s always snow in your driveway

I hope you never get off Fridays

And you work at a Friday’s that’s always busy on Fridays”

BABY BLUE – ACTION BRONSON FT. CHANCE THE RAPPER

“Always gon’ be a bigger house somewhere, but n**** feel me

Long as the people in that m****rf**ker love you dearly

Always gon’ be a whip that’s better than the one you got

Always gon’ be some clothes that’s fresher than the ones you rock

Always gon’ be a b**ch that’s badder out there on the tours

But you ain’t never gon’ be happy till you love yours”

LOVE YOURZ – J. COLE

“Uh, m***rf****in’ microphone checker

Keep that grip tight, like my Smith & Wesson

Ike with the mic, which n**** tryna turn up?

Hit you with the hurtful f****n truth, like Sojourner

M****f***n’ microphone eater,

Spittin’ hot s***, hit ya dome with the heater

Wouldn’t wanna be ya, dish lyrical fajitas

Got dragon balls, like my name was Vegeta”

CHRIST CONSCIOUS – JOEY BADA$$
