Late 808

 

A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!

One Be Lo – The Ghetto

City runnin wild, cats don’t give a fuck

Junior High students don’t say no to drugs

Liquor stores don’t ask shorties for their ID

This is a place where don’t nothin surprise me

 

Rakim- Know the Ledge

Shells lay around on the battleground

Dead bodies are found throughout the town

Tried to put shame in my game to make a name

I’mma put it on a bullet, put it in your brain

 

I aint no joke- Eric B. & Rakim

You like to exaggerate, dream and imaginate

Then change the rhyme around, that can aggravate me

So when you see me come up, freeze

Or you’ll be one of those 7 mc’s

 

Sabac Red- The Commitment

Reflect upon greatness, embrace it to your balance

Ultimate awareness comes from when you seek the truth

See, life is a journey, plans and patience

Know that you’re worthy, transformation

 

Nas- Halftime

You couldn’t catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer.

That’s like Malcolm X catching the Jungle Fever

 

Ice Cube– I ain’t the 1

I’m a menace to society

But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me!

After the date, Ima want to do the wild thing

You’re talking lobster, I’m thinking Burger King

 

Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg- Still Dre

I’m representing for the gangsters all across the world

Still hitting them corners in them low low’s girl

 

Immortal Technique- Industrial Revolution 

I’ve been nice since niggas got killed over 8-ball jackets

and Reebok Pumps that didn’t do shit for the sneaker

I’m a heatseaker with features that’ll reach through the speaker

and murder counter revolutionaries personally

 

Stop the Violence Movement- Self Destruction

It’s time to stand together in a unity

Cause if not then we’re soon to be

Self-destroyed, unemployed

The rap race will be lost without a trace

 

Kool G Rap- Men at Work

I’m alone but my tone is a sharp tune

Developing pictures in your brain like a darkroom

Rappers are captured and tortured with rapture

In 3-D is a G coming at you

Big Daddy Kane- I Get The Job Done

I love a young lady that’s beautiful

But one that’s smart for me, is more suitable

In other words, to make it simple and plain

You gotta have a brain in order to be Ms. Kane

 

Lean Back- Terror Squad

Now we livin’ better now,

Gucci sweater now,

And that G4 could fly through, any weather now,

See niggas get tight, when you worth some millions.

That’s why I sport the chincilla to hurt they feelin’s.

 

Hypnotize- Biggie

Dead right, if the head right, biggie there every night

 

Snow- Informer

Come with a nice young lady

Intelligent, yes she gentle and irie

Everywhere me go me never lef’ her at all-ie

Yes-a Daddy Snow me are the roam dance man-a

 

Big Daddy Kane- The Symphony

And battlin’ me is hazardous to health,

so put a quarter in your ass, cuz ya played yourself

Like a game in the arcade. You need a far aid.

I’m walkin’the path that Allah made

 

Terror Squad- Lean Back

Now we livin’ better now,

Gucci sweater now,

And that G4 could fly through, any weather now,

See n….. get tight, when you worth some millions.

That’s why I sport the chincilla to hurt they feelin’s.

 

Doug E Fresh- La di da di

I said, “Cheer up,” I gave her a kiss

I said, “You can’t have me, I’m too young for you miss.”

She says,”No, you’re not!” then she starts crying

I says, “I’m nineteen,” she said, “Stop lying!”

 

Big pun- Fire Water

I’m investin mils on a hunch over lunch, puffin chesterfield, who wants to test the real scandalous?

 

Big Tymers- Still Fly

Can’t pay my rent cause all my money’s spent

But that’s okay, cause I’m still fly

 

K-Otix- Untitled Ft Headkrack

With more power than a spark plug

Termite cause to live wire

A rhyme writer that spit higher than split fire

We street fighters with kicks tighter than Ryu

 

Ice cube- No Vaseline 

I started off with too much cargo dropped four n….. now I’m making all the dough

 

Easy E- Real Mothaphukin G’s

Talkin’ bout who you gon’ squabble with and who you shoot

You’re only sixty pounds when you’re wet and wearin’ boots
