This is a verse by Inspectah Deck from the Wu-Tang Clan off the song "Triumph" (Click Here for lyrics to the whole song). I think this is lyrically the best verse I've ever heard from any genre of music. Can you think of a better one? Drop the lyrics in this thread

[Inspectah Deck]
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B's sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block

A black sheep boy dissolves in hot cream, in sweet moans, in each dead bed and empty home, in each seething bacterium. Killing softly and serial, he lifts his head, handsome, horned, magisterial. He's the smell of the moonlight wisteria. He’s the thrill of the abecedarian. (See the muddy hoofprints where he carried you?) And there’s plenty of ways to claim his crimes tonight, and there’s plenty of things to do on his dime. And there’s plenty of ways to wear his hide tonight. You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine. So why did you flee? Don’t you know you can’t leave his control, only call all his wild works your own? So come back and we’ll take them all on. So come back to your life on the lam. So come back to your old black sheep man. He says “I am waiting on hoof and on hand. I am waiting, all hated and damned. I am waiting - I snort and I stamp. I am waiting, you know that I am, calmly waiting to make you my lamb.”

So Come Back, I Am Waiting by Okkervil River. This entire song is lyrically and musically breathtaking.

Why Don't We Do It In the Road?
The Beatles
from The Beatles, 1968

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

"Song of the Pious Intinerant"
(Hallelujah! I'm a Bum)

The New Christy Minstrels, 1963

I went to a house and I knocked on the door,
The lady comes out and says "You've been here before,"
She gives it a whistle and I run for my life,
And wouldn't you know it's the constable's wife.

Hallelujah, I'm a bum, Hallelujah, bum again,
Hallelujah, give me a handout and you'll be my friend.

I woke up one mornin,' feelin' just fine,
Caught me a ride on the Santa Fe line,
I starts gettin' weary o'ridin' the rail,
Now I got room and board at the Albakirk jail.

(Girl) Why doncha settle down and get you a wife,
(Boy) I'd rather be a bum for the rest of my life,
(Girl) You'll never get rich by just bummin' around,
(Boy) You'll never get happy by workin,' I've found.

If I had a dollar I'd do as I please,
I'd get me some powder for roaches and fleas,
I'd get me a box-car and fill it with cats,
And never be bothered by toe-nippin' rats.

Well, now, I went to college but it didn't work out,
The things that I like they don't teach you about.

(Girl) Now, why don't you work like some other men do?
(Boy) I'd rather just sing if it's all right with you,
(Girl) If you had a job then you'd be my honey,
(Boy) I wouldn't need you if I had lots of money!

If I had my way I'd just travel about,
And sing for my supper when I'm down and out.

You might get to heaven , but don't hold your breath,
We've all heard you sing, and you may starve to death.

Mojo Pin by Jeff Buckley.

Well i'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole

If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so

Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless
I'm there in your arms

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, so...

The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for...

HAPPY BOY- The Beat Farmers

I was walkin' down the street on a sunny day
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
A feeling in my bones that I'll have my way
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

CHORUS:
Well I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Well I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Oh ain't it good when things are going your way, hey hey?

My little dog spot got hit by a car
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Put his guts in a box and put him in a drawer
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

CHORUS

I forgot all about it for a month and a half
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
I looked in the drawer and started to laugh
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

CHORUS

You should check your pants, because you couldn't smell a load of crap if it was that close to you.

Here are some better lyrics:

"uHhh..aashwwwwahhchwoooooooo"

That's my last sneeze spelt out phonetically.

It was real, brought a tear to my eye, and left me breathless.
Yes, the magic of the lyrically gifted.

Polniaczek033 · 03-22-2006, 03:47 PM

you are calm and reposed
let your beauty unfold
pale white like the skin stretched over your bones
spring keeps you ever close
you are second hand smoke
you are so fragile and thin
standing trial for your sins
holding onto yourself the best you can
you are the smell before rain
you are the blood in my veins

"The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" by Brand New
Best song ever, in my opinion. It's beautiful.
