Have you ever heard a line in a song and thought "dang, that was a good one"? Yeah, that is me all the time and I just have to share. I would first like to say that I never really listened to rap growing up, but the older I've gotten and the more exposed to the songs I've become, I have taken the time to actually listen to the lyrics written by some very talented people and it seriously blew my mind. I'm just a little mixed Asian girl with zero rap knowledge, but at least I know it's more than just rhyming a bunch of words together. It is an ART.
Now there are probably way better ones out there but these songs baffled me (in the best way possible) when I heard the lyrics, so let's get into it.
1. "I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker" — Beyonce "Partition"
Queen B, you are too clever!
2. "You can pay for school but you can't buy class" — JAY Z "Swagga Like Us"
It's true, you can't. This is Beyonce's husband, by the way! Power couple!
3. "Swimming in the money come and find me, Nemo" — Drake "Forever"
Ha ha like Finding Nemo, get it? Too good.
4. "Real Gs move in silence like lasagna" — Lil Wayne "6 foot 7 foot"Â
Just think about it...
5. "Yes, I am Weezy but I ain't asthmatic" — Drake ft. Lil Wayne "Miss Me""
For those that don't know, Lil Wayne often goes by "Weezy" as a stage name. Bravo, Wayne.
So there you go, a few of my favorite (and appropriate) rap lyrics that gave me a good laugh. I am inspired and want to be a rapper now. Look out for my mixtape, coming soon!
