I'm Jay-Z on a bad day, Shakespeare on my worst days

Rap lyrics for captions
Caption-length rap: 50 one-line lyrics of 80 characters or fewer, from 39 artists, each short enough to drop under a photo or into a bio. Tap the copy button on a card and the line goes to your clipboard with the artist and song attached. Every lyric is matched to its Genius page, so the wording is the real one, not a half-remembered version. Lines are grouped by mood, and JAY-Z, Drake and 21 Savage are the most represented names. No artist is allowed more than four lines.
Confident
Everything I'm not made me everything I am
"Who you callin' a bitch?"
Last name Ever, first name Greatest
I'm top 5, dead or alive, and that's just off one LP
I make you famous, turn around, then make you nameless
Funny
I knocked out so many teeth, the tooth fairy went bankrupt
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't
My emancipation don't fit your equation
Lord, I thank You for this man, but can You come back and get him?
Couldn't afford a car, so she named her daughter Alexis
Coke like a caterpillar, I make butter fly
Can't burn his cross 'cause he can't afford the gasoline
Nigga that bitch thicker than... peanut butter in the freezer
My weed is loud and you smokin' libraries (Damn)
Can't stand on business, I keep fallin' like Alicia Keys
I chose money over fame, how I end up with 'em both?
I don't look for trouble, I'm already trouble
Money
More lines
Go hard or go home
A loss ain't a loss, it's a lesson
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant
My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send
If they don't know your dreams, then they can't shoot 'em down
You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
Just when I discover the meaning of life, they change it
Fools swear they wise, wise men know they foolish
You can hug that block all night, it ain't gon' hug you back (Facts)
Knock me down nine times but I get up ten
But you can never walk on water if you still fear the sea
I guess it took ten years for me to be an overnight success
Out of everybody I met, who told the truth? Time did
Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned 'em into goals
They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Loud in our laughter, silent in our sufferin'
'Cause everybody dies, but not everybody lives, ah
I used to sell dope, nigga, now I can't vote (Vote)
Your postcode don't make you a gangster, you're not bad your area is
These niggas ain't thugs, the real thugs is the government
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt?
The more you sweat in training, less you bleed in combat
How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us?
You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed
Don't be flirtin' with your gift, you better marry it—you nervous?
House on both coasts, but I live on the charts
Didn't choose this dirty game, this dirty game it chose me
I gotta make it to Heaven for going through Hell
No, I wasn't born in Ghana, but Africa is my momma
