Bilal - Something to Hold on to (2nd verse)

At night when I close my eyes
and think of you
your face like freah air
and is clouding mine
of things to do
and I'm wondering if youre feeling the same way
I'm wondering if youre doing the same thing
or is it just me?
Cause I want to be the one and only
and I know that shit sounds corny
but it's the way that I feel
...I just want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
you give me something

Something to hold on
Something to hold on
Something to hold on
Something hold on to

Lupe Fiasco - The Coolest (First verse & Part of the 2nd verse)

I love the Lord
But sometimes it’s like that I love me more
I love the peace and I love the war
I love the seas and I love the shore
No love for no beach - baby, that’s loyal
But she doesn’t see, therefore I spoil
I trip, I fall, run up in raw
I love her with all my heart
Every vein, every vessel, every bullet lodged
With every flower that I ever took apart
She said that she would give me greatness
Status, placement above the others
My face would grace coversOf the magazines of the hustlers
Paper, the likes of which that I had never seen
Her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams
The purpose of our scene, the obscene obsession for the bling
She would be my queen, I could be her king
Together, she would make me cool
And we would both rule, forever
And I would never feel pain
And never be without pleasure, ever, again
And if the rain stops and everything’s dry
She would cry just so I can drink the tears from her eyes
She’ll teach me how to fly, even cushion my fall
If my engines ever stall and I plummet from the sky
But she will keep me high, and if I ever die
She would commission monuments on her bosom, to him
Or maybe she’d retire as well, a match made in Heaven; set the fires in Hell
And I’ll be

The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what
Lord please have sympathy
And forgive “my cool young history” as
The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what
The coolest nigga what

And so began our reign (rain)
The Trinity, her and I can (hurricane)
No weather man could ever stand what her and I can
Hella hard – umbrella? Whatever!
Put plywood on propeller panes
And pray to God that the flood subside
‘Cause you gonna need a sub ‘til he does reply
And not one of Jared’s, you think it’s all arid
And everything’s irie, another supply
That means another July inside my endless summer

Crooklyn Dodgers - Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers (Jeru the Damaja's verse)

Listen cause for your mind I got the right nutrition
We keeps it hard like fat asses and cases of Heineken
Here in Brooklyn, home of the warrior and villain
Trife type chicks Top Billin's, the anthem Rastas smoke marijuana
Enterprising businessmen shoot dice on the corner
Excuse me while I light my spliff but some choose to sip
So bullets hit brains, when bottles hit lips
Clips whatever happend to 38 special
Now it's Desert Eagles, government issue
Probably the same one that killed Noriega
Chips that powered nuclear bombs, power my Sega
Subliminal hypnotism and colonialism
leaves most niggaz dead or in prison
In Crook-land, right hand cuts off the left hand
to spite the hand, jealous of the next man
So violent crimes, black on black plus mad crack to boot
Everybody can't rap, so most hustle and shoot
Make money money, get money take money
I can't understand that concept
cause Jah rules everything around me
Fire burns the unjust like arson larsony
melt MC's with mental telepathy
With precision, we're slicin and dicin
Peace to the East New York, Perverted Monks,
and Mike Tyson

Outkast - In Due Time (Cee-lo's verse)

Strugglin's just a part of my day
Many obstacles have been placed in my way
I know the only reason that I make it through
Is because I never stop believin in you
Some people wonder why we here in the first place
They can't believe because they ain't never seen your face
But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try
Can't wait for nobody to come down out the sky
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let Him do the rest
You've got your life, and got your health
So quit procrastinatin and push it yourself
You've got to realize that the world's a test
You can only do your best and let Him do the rest
You've got your life, and got your health
So quit procrastinatin..

Outkast - Liberation (Big Rube verse)

I must admit, they planted a lot of things
in the brains and the veins of my strain
Makes it hard to refrain, from the host of cocaine
From them whores, from the flame
From a post in the game
Makes it hard to maintain focus
They're from the glock rounds, and lockdowns, and berries
The seeds that sow, get devoured by the same locusts
Cause it's a hard row to hoe
if your ass don't move, and the rain don't fall
And the ground just dry
But the roots are strong, so some survive
So you're surprised, now I'm bustin cries
You got more juice than Zeus
Slangin lightnin tryin to frighten
Plains dwellers, of the Serengeti
But get beheaded when you falsely dreaded
Melanin silicon and collagen injected
Dissectin my pride, fool I don't wanna get it started
We be the lionhearted, without a fantasy
It's like that red sprite, you can't imagine it
unless you lookin at the canvas of life
and not through the peephole of mortality
Single minded mentality
Gettin over on loopholes
Gettin paid two-fold on technicalities
Clickin your heels, scared to bust how you feel
Pack the steel
Pickin cotton from the killing fields with no toe
I don't we in Kansas no mo' though
Midwest or Dirty South
Clean dressed or dirty mouth
Whether robbin preachers or killin Poor Righteous Teachers
You a scared demon
Shouldn't be allowed to spread semen
And your cowardly lies never defyin the jackals who babble
Runnin with they pack, tail between your legs
Though the man on your head say the story
As you downplay your glory
Cacklin, helpin the shacklin of your brethern happen
Just by rappin..
LIBERTAD..
