Deep rap quotes & wisdom

See, to live is to suffer

But to survive

Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering

A loss ain't a loss, it's a lesson

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

I say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots (Oh)

Everything I'm not made me everything I am

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman

Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?

But every now and then, I wonder if the gate was put up

To keep crime out or keep our ass in

Only thing worse than death is a regret-filled coffin

So try before you die or always wonder what if?

Out of everybody I met, who told the truth? Time did

Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman

You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy

Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests (Nope)

Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess (Haha)

The code words to killin' a black man by police is, "He's got a gun"

I am no longer trying to survive

I believe that life is a prize

But to live doesn't mean you're alive

Oh well, guess you lose some and win some

Long as the outcome is income

The more you sweat in training, less you bleed in combat

Gotta keep it on me, I don't wanna die young

I rather be judged by twelve, than carried by six

You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed

Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die

Horoscopes often lie

And sometimes, "Y"

Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain

We cannot be trusted with the stuff that we come up with

The machinery could eat us, we just really love our buttons, um

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

Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours

But you ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours

Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game

Overlookin' his tomorrows, and they finally came?

I'm only scared of God and the man in the mirror

And although it seems heaven-sent

We ain't ready to see a black president, uh (Oh-ooh)

My soliloquy may be hard for some to swallow

But so is cod liver oil

Here's a jewel: love your enemies and hate your friends

Your enemies remain the same, friends always change
