Deep rap quotes & wisdom: Page 3

Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse

I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe

Some move away to make a way, not move away 'cause they afraid

My feelings told me love is real

But feelings known to get you killed

I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York

And return through the womb of the world as a thought

Thinkin' how hard it was to be born

Me bein' cream with no physical form

Now don't you understand, man, universal law?

What you throw out comes back to you, star

Never underestimate those who you scar

'Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard

I’m not in it for the fame. Everybody wanna be seen and held at the highest regard obviously but, you know, you can’t cash that out, you can’t take that to the bank.

It's a cold world, better pack your own heat

I was always taught my do's and don'ts

For do's I did, and for don'ts, I said I won't

Can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze

Please, they got problems of they own

It’s the job of the philosopher to offer for discussion ideas that aren’t popular

Why you don't stack instead of tryin' to be fly?

Talking to my shadow, he advised me not to worry

Said, I should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury

Never looking back or too far in front of me

The present is a gift, and I just wanna be

I trust my gut. But so many people before me have come and gone, and I’m pretty clear on what not to do.

Then I had to realize what I tolerate is optional

And anything I tell myself is possible, is possible (On gang)

You better make the most of it, live to the fullest

Think positive and don't dwell on the BULLSHIT

I can't tell you no better

If you thinkin 'bout quittin, don't ever

God really exists? I'll tell you, like this: it reside inside

And anybody tell you different just sellin' you religion tryna keep your ass in line

Something I try to instill in others is to just be a good person. It's a decision you make a million times a day.

It’s because, in action, the majority of people prefer comfort rather than progression. In theory, people would pick progression every time over being idle.

Got faith in the vessel but know when to keep rowin''

Yeah and get up out your own way when deliverin' a poem

You never lost 'til you lose your crown

And they don't love you till you're under ground

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

I'm a Black intellect, but unrefined

If the world gives you pen and paper, draw the line

There's no longevity livin' off negativity

Wise men listen and laugh while fools talk

Stick up kids don't live long in New York

I ain't a rapper; I'm a motivational speaker. I don't do shows; I do seminars. I really talk to people.

You don't wanna know what it cost to live

What it cost to hide behind eyelids

Justice won't be served by a hashtag, and that's the very reason I ask that

What are we to do? We're scattered around

With no clue of this ugly truth

Its madness that you speak of innocence and guilt

In a prison that was built just to generate some wealth

You can never compete with a person who ain’t competing.

Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend

Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again

You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

We some ordinary people but extraordinary poets

Lame niggas bring you down, real niggas help you grow

I know God ain't put me down here just to be serving no fiends

Tell her be herself, ain't no code switchin'

Half short, twice strong. It means less is more.

I met a critic, I made her shit her draws

She said she thought Hip-Hop was only guns and alcohol

I said "Oh hell naw! But yet, it's that too

You can't discrima-hate 'cause you done read a book or two

Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge

You may not know the hardships people don't speak of

Never mix my feelings with my dealings (Never)

Ain't nobody else's fault, you played yourself

The TV got us reachin' for stars

Not the ones between Venus and Mars

The ones that be readin' for parts

You could try and numb the pain, but it'll never go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh away

Let's have a toast for the douchebags

Let's have a toast for the assholes

Let's have a toast for the scumbags

Every one of them that I know

Shit been fucked up 'cause they don't talk about Christ

Everybody trying to die young but who gon' talk about life?

So misunderstood, but what's a world without enigma?

It's funny how everyone is saying how hip-hop has become too materialistic and violent now. But we were saying it back then.

But at least have the decency in you

To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out

In the streets when I'm eatin' or feedin' my daughter

Nothing ever compares with the strength of a free mind

Eve want her own cash, fuck what you bought her

He spend, you owe, that's what mommy taught her

Everything be good 'til you doin' better than 'em

Wouldn't be real love without rough nights

Artists can have greater access to reality; they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss.

Every problem can't be solved at the ballot box

We unifying Africa like Gaddafi, that's what got Malcolm shot

Stay woke

Niggas creepin'

They gon' find you

Gon' catch you sleepin'

And "no" is kinda hard to say to drugs

'Cause I been havin' problems with myself

Material things ain’t nothing. You feel me? At the end of the day, it’s who you is. You wasn’t born with it, you gon’ die without it.

Why a nigga always want what he can't have?

Of course I do. Shoot, the worst curse is a lie.

Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that’s the foundation for everything great
