Post some of your favourite lyrics, maybe mention why you like them too but eh, sometimes they speak for themselves!

“I bought some rockstar ashes
From the back of Rolling Stone
I guess he wouldn’t mind it
They couldn’t sell his soul”

Tiger In My Tank - Eels

(I’ve always loved E’s lyrics, he’s so funny and often very insightful.)


“Average MC’s is like a TV blooper
MF Doom he like D.B. Cooper”

Hoe Cakes - MF Doom

(Again, naturally funny lyricist who never took himself too seriously. This is one of my favourite utterances from his gifted pen.)


“What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells”

Bulls On Parade - RATM

(Few lyricists manage to succinctly distill their anger with as much wit and bulletproof cadence as Zack.)

Genuinely Generous
"Stank pussy smellin' like Cool Ranch Doritos" - Danny Brown, Monopoly

"I buy a hot dog stand if I'm tryna be frank" - 2 Chainz, Out of Sight (RTJ)
 
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
-Ice Cube

Pass me the scalpel, I'll make an incision
I'll cut off the part of your brain that does the bitchin'
Put it in formaldehyde and put it on the shelf
So you can show it to your friends and say "that's my old self"

-MCA, Beastie Boys

And porn speaks to its splintered legions
To the pink amid the withered cornstalks in them winter regions
...
Don't tell me what the poets are doing
Those Himalayas of the mind

Also this entire song


Especially this line
"They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we've got the bombs"

... I'll never try to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
But I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I am a saint
I just don't want to live that way


I like the clever poetry conveying the humble but confident and self-aware humour(32 flavors and then some) in the imperfect but striving way it deals with rejection.

I am Become Bilbo Baggins
I find most lyrics from 90s/00s hip-hop funny, but only because they were sometimes lusciously outrageous.

Here are some examples.

Fight music D12/Bizarre

You know why my hands are so numb? (No?)
'Cause my grandmother sucked my dick and I didn't cum
(Oh) Smacked this whore for talkin' crap
So what if she's handicapped?

The bitch said Bizarre couldn't rap

And who can forget this corker from DMX.

I got blood on my hands and there's no remorse. And got blood on my dick 'cause I fucked a corpse
