Deep rap quotes & wisdom: Page 7

We all need help, but first we must believe in ourselves

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

You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen.

Don't believe the hype, it's a sequel

As an equal, can I get this through to you?

My '98 booming with a trunk of funk

All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk

Give us opportunity and see what we do with it

What can I say about these streets that I be walkin'?

Not too much cuz where I from niggas ain't motherfuckin talkin

We'd rather listen and watch

Hidin' like thieves in the night from life

Illusions of oasis makin' you look twice

You used to be so cool, what the fuck happened to you?

Look at what all this rapping and money-stacking will do

Because nobody knows your vision better than you do. Nobody can tell your story as you can. You have to live it.

A woman can bear you, break you, take you

Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and when people start getting it confused, that means they need to sit down with some real people.

Money controls the world and that's it

Your job is to inspire people from your neighborhood to get out.

But with knowledge of self from off the shelf

Made things seemed complicated now small like elves

Freedom ain't a function it's a mode

You better hold this very moment very close to you (Right now)

Stop wastin' your money on marketing schemes

And pretty packages pushin' dreams to the fiends

A dope MC is a dope MC

With or without a record deal, all can see

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

Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish

But I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America

As a motherfuckin' drug addict, like you didn't experiment?

Word, fake people ain't worth a turd

They only want to be your friend because of what they overheard

I’d rather invest in some real estate… Invest in some assets as opposed to trick off my money on some liabilities like diamonds

'Cause niggas done sold their souls, and now their souls is hollow

Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu'

Tryna cash his microphone check, two-one-two

Wanna believe my own hype, but it's too untrue

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!

Used to be a time I'd see it and not say it

Now I understand that woke folk be playin'

At school you dropped Math, Science and History

And then you get on the mic and try to act smart

It seems like blessings keep falling in my lap

It’s amazing what a kid can learn in the company of adults and just listening to them talk.

There's only one rule in the real world

And that's to take care of you, only you and yours

If you’re not sincere with it, you shouldn’t say anything at all.

Most people stop for signs but I've driven through it

Take the King's English, paint pictures so vivid

That the listener will swear to God they lived it

Wins and the losses, it come with being bosses

But there's a serious side in everything I say

Life is too short for you to wait 'til the next day

Just straighten up your life and you can start right here

Drop the cocaine and the bottles of beer

We got arms but won't reach for the skies

But it ain't what you cop, it's about what you keep

When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall

And in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call

Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove

For the first time in my life, I see I need love

You got a past, but that's in the past

And we all know that, you can't press rewind

Best friends become strangers

That's how it is

You betta stop trippin on dem stereotypes

Cause in the ghetto there's a good life

You can be a gangsta in your frame of mind. If you know how to get money, that’s your gangsta.

There are two types of people. Those who think they have to do a variety of things but are not able to handle a single one of them, and those who excel in one particular area and thus can enter any other field freely.

What are you so afraid of?

Is it love or wasting your time?

I should distance myself, I should keep it relentless

My selfishness is what got me here, who the fuck I'm kiddin'?

Everything will come to you, what you deserve will come to you.

You can be the richest man in the world, but if you are unhealthy, your money means nothing!

It's like a never-ending cycle that just seems to come full circle

Everybody's gotta be so fuckin' hard

And I'm not excludin' myself, 'cause I been stupid as well

Everybody wanna ride waves (Okay!)

And jump when the ship don't sail (Whoo!)

He taught me to not be pressured by the timing that people want you to do things, but always to work in the timing of God and your intuition and your heart

Maybe this the album you listen to in your car

When you driving home late at night

Be the truest form of yourself. If you go with what everybody else is doing you may risk falling into the crevices and the cracks, because there's so many people doing the same thing.

I'm book-smart but the streets gave me all my knowledge

So there ain't nothin' for you when you comin' out the projects

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

Music should be your escape.

You gotta know your own formula, your own ingredients

Nothing ever come to those that just wait

Don't ever lose sight of your goals, just keep straight

The square's self aware and dares to self edit

We gotta start makin' changes

Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers

And that's how it's supposed to be

How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? Uh

This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh (Uh-huh)

Just another case about the wrong path (Uh-huh)

The last thing I'm paying attention to is how fast it is. The first thing I'm paying attention to is whether you're talking about something and are you making sense.
