I think Mengista Haile Mariam is my neighbor
Whoever it is moved in and put an automated gate up
Repainted brick walls atop which now cameras rotated
By eight the place is dark, one light burns later
Razor wire like a slinky, rumor is a parcel bomb took the secretary right eye and pinky
On evenings he take a snifter of whisky on the veranda, I wonder what he's thinking
In the morning the maid brings coffee from the kitchen
Some nights strange music plays, I lay in bed and listen, downstairs I hear my mother breaking dishes, my father's tripping
It's been quite bad lately, high tension
Galvanized steel security fencing
To get through the day, give myself a mission
Anything that gets me out the house is a blessing
His bodyguard chews khat and spits black in the rhododendron, blacked out Range rumbles when he starts the engine
Avocado tree hangs over the property line, Iwatch from as high as I can climb
The dog looks up and whines, the hills are alive with land mines, I live in my mind
Not sure what I'm looking for, but I'll know when I find
My mother sent the gardener to look for me, but the sky is a great place to hide
Yeat on Nvr again & Boldy james on weekend's in Perry's
was gonna make a thread on this but i'll just drop it here but soulja boy on first time

Lupe first verse on On Faux Nem
!https://youtu.be/UInFzXM73ycedit: got beat by 6 seconds smh
this verse is great too
I've admired many cities through the windows of hotels
From the window of a plane I've seen the window of a cell
The plane started to fly, the rain started to fell
Thats LaGuardia and Rikers, a airport next to a jail
I took a picture looked like my window was crying
'Cause it was sad 'cause all they saw every day was somebody flying
And they was trapped, this s*** is wack
But it was crack under my wall like a plaque
Keep yours eyes on the prize and your thumbs on the apps
Facts - I wish that they was lying in their raps
How does that transpire
To be so damned by God, you want your friends to be goddamned liars?
All we talk about are our goddamned priors
Shiny metal boxes on top of goddamned tires
Goddamned tired
If I say I didn't indulge, my pants would be on goddamn fire
'Cause I'm a part of the problem
Sometimes the P-, sometimes the -roblem
Fame, all in the name of martyrdom (Yeah)
I wish that you were lying
What's the difference between a posthumous album
And a life insurance policy?
Spotify
A dollar's worth what a dollar buy, go monetize
Mr. Morale is barely in my top 10 for the year but the last verse of Mother I Sober really hits like nothing else. That's classic Kendrick.
Rappers die too much
That's it, that's the verse
Lupe is one of the only people who could have pulled something like that off and have it work but man did it hit
Also some of the verses on these Triz EPs by Mach and Spook’s verse on “Fatwa” but none of that is streaming, unfortunately.
Pusha - Just So You Remember, first verse. Whole song is great
Smith + Cross verse from Billy too.
Yeat makes words?
None of my business
