My man BoBo just lost his baby in a house fire (Oh yeah)
And when I got on my knees that night to pray, I asked God
"Why You let these killers live and take my homeboy's son away?"

Rap quotes about life: Page 3
The lesson in this shit is we should talk face to face, fuck the messagin'
Meet me in the flesh and you can see that I'm still lil' Destin
If you live my life, you'd be fightin' to live
So just peep the game and don't call it crap
'Cause to me, life is one hard rap
Could be who you wanna be, live how you wanna live
Stunt how you wanna stunt, give what you 'posed to give
Say what you wanna say, feel how you wanna feel
On Doomsday, ever since the womb
'Til I'm back where my brother went, that's what my tomb will say
Right above my government; Dumile
Either unmarked or engraved; hey, who's to say?
She got ironic tattoos on her back
That ain't ironic bitch, I love Rugrats
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
Staring at the bathroom mirror in a stranger's apartment
Can't remember her name, don't remember how I got here
But here I am, thinking about death again
Humbles out the stress, helps the breath get in
History is a snare struggling, rope ever more taut
On my death bed, chuckling about all that time I bought
Afrofuturist Acura Legend on the cinderblocks
Life is what you make it, and it, it still ain't enough (It still ain't—)
Don't get too high to look over blessings
Never come in second, make the most of your seconds
They so precious"
'Cause if we could buy time, every store would sell it
I know people wearing Rollies doing life in can
Isn't it ironic that they couldn't find the time to plan?
Fresh out of school 'cause I was a high school grad
Gots to get a job 'cause I was a high school dad
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream
All I am is everything and nothing at all
All I am is shoulder for your heart to lean on
All I am is love
Regardless of how it goes down
Life goes on, am I right? (Oh, oh, whoa)
Every day gets hotter than the one before
Running out of water, it's about to go down
I grew tall overnight, I woke up one day a man
You better hold this very moment very close to you (Right now)
I don't care about what nobody say or how nobody feel. I'm happy, I'm living my life, and that's what it is.
Perhaps I was foolish, just like the boy that prays to only see the sun
Maybe, life happens like tides
One minute you're low and feelin' shallow, then all of a sudden you rise
It was Grace
Stunned by the last light of the sun
We were swimming in a green sea, as deep as a drum
You know the feeling, young black male, what y'all dealin'?
Take your whole life to get it, it only last you a minute
Mask on (Mask off), fuck it, mask off (Ma—, excuse me?)
Goin' through public housing systems, victim of Münchausen's Syndrome
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out (What's up?)
Hooked it up for later as I hit the door
Thinkin', "Will I live another twenty-four?"
Do you ever think about when you outta here?
Record deal and video outta here?
Mercedes Benz and Range Rover outta here?
No doubt BDP is old school, but we ain't goin' out!
Dre, I ain't mean to turn my back on you
But I'm a man, and sometimes a man do what he gotta do
Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God
I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
No barkin' from the dog, no smog
And mama cooked the breakfast with no hog (Damn)
Pull up in a Rolls Royce finna rock a show
Clique full of bad friends, we at Pappadeaux
Rent due, finna let your baby daddy know
World might end, so I'm living my life
Live for today, plan for tomorrow
Party tonight, party tonight
Life’s a bitch, so I don’t smile
Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone, I grew up amongst a dyin' breed
I'm from the Compton slums, and that's how the West ride
I'm from the city where two of the best died
Breathe in, inhale vapors from bright stars that shine
Breathe out, weed smoke retrace the skyline
You can be the richest man in the world, but if you are unhealthy, your money means nothing!
Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden
We used to kick routines and the presence was fittin'
Take my time to finish, mind my business
A life ain't a life 'til you live it, I was diggin' me a hole
Big enough to bury my soul
Weight of the world, I gotta carry my own, my own
Damn, what happened to the summertime cookouts?
Every time I turn around, a nigga gettin' took out
Shit, my mama got cancer in her breast
Don't ask me why I'm motherfucking stressed
I'm living my life cause that's what I do best
These girls on my bank wanna show me interest
Aye, look pounds or pennies
I don't scrounge off any, I'm fly I am not an insect
To teach the people that they have the power to fight
And not with semi automatic bullets in the night
So everybody, everywhere, listen to this fact
Nobody treated equally, especially the black
Don't owe nobody shit, so what the fuck I gotta cap about?
Colder than a polar bear sleeping in the freezer
'Cause everybody dies in the summer
Wanna say your goodbyes, tell them while it's spring
I don't wear crosses no more, Yeshua was coming back
I ain't scared of losses no more, I see life in that
What happens when a star doesn't burn? A dream deferred
Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody just wanna have a good, good time
I think you know the reason why
Sometimes I wanna get inside the Escalade and crash it
My pain runnin' deeper than the ocean
So much on my mind, I just can't recline
Blastin' holes in the night 'til she bled sunshine
But I refuse to be another violent casualty
Tryna say something, tryna do something, tryna be better
Ain't much time left, I gotta make do, I can't live forever
Don't be mad 'cause I'm doing me better than you doing you
