sometimes as a legend, they’ll disrespect your legacy, if you don’t protect your legacy.

Deep rap quotes & wisdom: Page 6
Why they ain't give us a cure for AIDS?
Father, forgive me, I'm scared of the karma
'Cause now I see women as somethin' to nurture
Not somethin' to conquer
Only love is consistent because only love is unconditional.
And I heard 'em say
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow, today
Had dreams of retiring and burying the money
Back when I was young with more experience than money
Power given to yourself is what's valuable, what matters.
Yo, the reality of it all, everybody can't ball
Praying for the future but I'm dealing with the past
Look beyond the surface, don't just see what you wanna see
Each word that I say may cut you like a knife
And totally influence and change somebody life
In our thoughts, if I follow my heart to save myself
Could I run away from fifty-mill like Dave Chappelle?
Make your first million and don’t make it your last
Don’t come if you ain’t ready, don’t try to make it too fast
You can’t learn shit, if you never make it to class
Tear after tear, in the puppet man's hands
Every time you take a stance you do the puppet man's dance
I exchange my negative for a positive
You never lived in your truth, I'm just happy I lived in it
But I finally found peace, so peace (Gone)
We don't do the same drugs no more
Some come around when they need some money
Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies
You think you've made it, you're just a lucky man
Guess who controls your destiny, fans
I done seen people suffer, hate turned into love
Lost some people to get here
But they watchin' from up above
Ain't no blood on my money, ain't no Twitter in Heaven
That compared to Nelly numbers is considered not winning, but that's only considered not winning compared to Nelly numbers.
Hip-hop music can make you dance and bob your head, but it can’t make you cry or touch your heart like reality rap
Yo, I put the truth on every page I jotted
I got to a space where I don't give a fuck what people think I should sound like, look like, or do
I can't play by anybody else's rules
So, in a sense I sensed that all your innocence had died
These average rappers is acting up for the dough
Yeah I tell you what I believe but I back it up with what I know (oh!)
You see the clout, you don't see the real me
If I was sick, you niggas wouldn't heal me
Therefore I'm healin' myself, gettin' in tune with my God
Slowly revealin' myself, buildin' my wealth
They don't miss you 'till you gone with the wind
And they tired of dancin' like a Ying Yang Twin
You can't have the Yin without the Yang, my friend
Real niggas bring balance to the game I'm in (Yugh)
You gotta take the highs with the lows (The highs with the lows)
Get in stack a bank and get the fuck out
Because a D-boy's life is cool at first
But in the end it's the pen or even worst, a hearse
And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about, 'cause the tongue is mighty powerful
Rule number one, don't step across the line that I drew
Number two, don't take credit for something you didn't do
Number three, check your heart, every man has a call
That power trip is something. Not that I’m anti-police but I’m pro-freedom.
Money tree, branches break when they not sturdy enough, uh
I feel the Aryan in my blood, it's scarier than a Blood
Been looking for holy water, now I’m praying for a flood
I don’t want nobody gassing me up 24/7. How you gon’ make me the best version of myself if you’re just pretending everything is gold?
You can't buy no relationship
I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception in
Instead of what is truth
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
you can’t just jump on some wave, either, you know what I mean? You can’t bastardize somebody else’s shit. You have to take informed risks, I guess. Calculated risks.
Be eager to run with crowds, stay in your lane
Pass this knowledge on to your team, but carry the flame
'Cause it's yours and yours alone to brighten your way
Man are dead or in jail, that's useless
Tell a yute, "If you've got a brain, then use it"
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
Move in silence, gotta be a prophet, is it really worth it?
This street shit open game
One minute you him, the next minute you right back on your knuckles
People are always coming up to me, thinking I've got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself.
I'm a count my blessin', trouble but never no stressin'
Just called it a lesson
I find myself to be quite confident as a person but you’re going to have that piece of doubt in the back of your head because we’re human.
People want the truth. Even if they can't handle it, they want it.
I write to fight, don't bite, to reach heights
The mic makes right, give me the spotlight
So I can prove the pen is mightier than the sword
LL hard as hell, the lyrical lord
I'm a gangster rapper, that's who I am. I happen to make fun records at the same time, that's what I do.
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
You don't make a G a day you can't sit in the spot
Put his struggles on display for 'em, 'cause he gotta go and face the drama
With a different face from the one that he use to face his momma
If you look close, you'll see it consist of a smile that hurts
An ice grill, and a trace of trauma; little bit of his father
And he tell me "Girl, you the best"
But I already know what I am, yeah, yeah
Never slack, never overreact, let your money stack
Look at where you're going and not where you at
You gon' get there if you work hard
When you make it, you'll get exactly what you work for
Good mornin', this ain't Vietnam, still
People lose hands, legs, arms, for real
Little was known of Sierra Leone
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
Easy come, easy go, E-V gon' be lastin'
Jealousy, let it go, results could be tragic
Consumers need to go back to the days when they would stop in front of an object for a long time because they loved it.
