    This thread should be interesting

    "My style be profiled as a metaphor joke/
    see everywhere you want me be everywhere you find me/"

    I forgot who said that it was off Chino XL "Here To Save You ALL" someone else said it

    I took it as he said the word profiled I took it to mean a literal meaning that ties into the find me part

    metaphor joke well you can make a metaphor out of anything you want to

    also pro-filed broken down he could be saying he a pro with this rap ? ,and you got to be intelligent to make a metaphor out of anything so basically his style encompasses all so he is just saying he real dope

    Twice upon a time there was a boy who died
    and lived happily ever after but that's another chapter

    live from home of the brave with ? dollars
    & beauty parlors & baby ballers & bowling ball Impalas
    & street scholars that's majoring in culinary arts
    You know how to work bread cheese & dough
    from scratch
    but see the catch is you can get caught
    Know what ya sellin' what ya bought so cut that big talk
    Let's walk to the bridge now meet me halfway
    now you may see some children dead off in the pathway
    it's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy lady
    It's lookin' bad need some hope
    like the words "maybe", "if", or "probably"
    more than a hobby
    when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall
    I'm sorry y'all I often drift I'm talkin' gift
    so when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
    of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
    Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you
    Now question is every ? with dreads for the cause?
    Is every ? with golds for the fall? Naw
    So don't get caught in appearance
    it's Outkast Aquemini another Black experience Okay

    -Dre 3000


    the bolded, but the whole verse really

    They tryin' to censor the influencer
    Just makes me sicker, influenza, (yeah)
    I'll abide by the censorship,
    Soon as they ride I'll get back on my ? ? ,
    Can't reverse [song lyrics reversed]
    The boy-game Advanced, complete the genesis,
    I've broke bread with societies menaces,
    I've dedicated sentences to the dead, and said hold your heads to my ? doin' sentences,
    I send condolences to the victims but, threats two the witnesses, (Ugh)
    On my path I was facing a paragraph, Myself,
    So they sentiments is felt,
    When you hate your own and discriminate of self,
    In a cell gotta make your home, cause you might never make it home,
    Suicide on your side might commit it with your belt,
    Keep your pants on homie, (uh)
    Streets are damn so lonely, like only,
    A bunch of ? won't help (nah),
    That's the enemy of stealth,
    Plus if they get caught how you gonna keep your heart fatigue,
    The hustler's diet is the enemy of health, give you heart disease (uh),
    Arteries hard but it's hard to leave the bread alone,
    Aren't we hard headed, headed for harm, but don't threat it homes,
    From the twist tied to the butt,
    We be rippin' it up
    Frm the horror to the cure, don't force the issue,
    To you my ? in the war, may the force be with you (like uh)

    "E'rything is perception (I mean) e'rything is deception (but!)
    But ? ? with him cause I be the exception (look)
    I got a warm reception way before any song hit
    I think too outside of the box to be cornered
    I'm too real to be fickle
    Grounded but too fly to meet a ? in the middle
    Too big to be belittled
    Wise way beyond my years, here's the motto of a man-child (what?)
    Why try to fit in when you a standout? Ohh"

    damn don't get me started on Lupe lyrics...I can listen to food and liquor today and find new ? I didn't get at first...

    Most recently:

    "Uh, said she was a fan of mine
    Knew she was New Jersey, but said that she was Anaheim
    Butterflies turn to suicides, now it’s phantoms flying"

    -? Money

    "Not wonders I'm Scott Summers, so don't make me take off my stunners"

    -Past My Shades

    and i raise you lol
    one of the doest things ever

    Cuz no one does it better...
    I said do it, do it, cuz no one does it better...

    [Lupe: talking in background]
    What down Charlie? How you doin'? Good, hey what up Joe? I'm just chillin', know what I'm sayin'? Chillin', ain't nothing, yo...

    [Lupe: talking]
    I said nah man, there's people out there better than me. I just do what I do, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, aight...

    Uh, I can't feel a field ? pain
    devious skill that make a strong will ? wane
    since a lil ? hang
    with the killers and distributors of cane
    they dismemberers of swishas then refill it with the jane
    then they tilt it and they lit with a flame
    then they took a pull of killer to the brain like (inhale noise) ah
    evil minded like Crane/Krang
    they became they deranged like the rover that I rolled
    that was the waynes that I drove when I was a little bit older
    mayne declaring war on the deck like they the joker
    all wild ducking from Bruce Wayne while they poker
    with the devil and our moonlitten ghetto
    hello my name stickers on the stickers of the veins in rehab
    remembering the feelings when they used to get mellow
    when they was all back of a nickel like Monatello
    in the underworld had to be smarter than Donatello
    no honour amongst fellows
    it's harder than sittin' with a blind man and tryin' to describe yellow
    got me feelin' like killer Joe
    my life the album
    know the classics by heart and exactly how the filler go
    repeat it on my way to the liquor store, Charlie

    [Lupe: talking in background]
    What's up? What down, what down? You know, how are you (...) what you in for? (...) stupid ? ...

    [Lupe: talking]
    You know I'm sayin', it's why I do what I do. I be aight, we all be aight. We just gotta learn how to stay in our lane and do what we know how to do. You know...

    Cuz I can't feel a field ? chains
    though I covet mine, so I covered mine in bling
    then I bumped into a ? and covered mine in shame
    then I bumped into a ? and uncovered mine again (uh)
    diamonds done under minded mayne, they give a ? with no mac another kinda game
    see money talks in another kinda slang
    detectives can't decipher as they listen through the wire
    as I accept the call and listen to the life of
    gettin' religion and making wudu in the sink of your cell
    reciting al-faatihah in the kitchen
    indeed on his dean and in addition to doing dishes
    listen as I get schooled to the rules to rule
    the fuel of fools, the obstacles, the cool
    had to slow it down ?
    chopped and screwed
    he said blow it down for me
    sticks and stones make the homes
    only ? 's words can stop the wolves
    and don't fraternise with pigs them kids will think your stool
    not at the bar, but tryin' to put him behind the bar like a bartender
    he laid the law like the bar so I put it in a bar for dude
    he said borrow my jewels and bar the fools
    cuz they a play ya like the space bar and twos
    theme music to a drive-by, put it in your car and cruise

    word...hmmm...let's get some imagery involved...

    You know he didn't have enough power in his thrusters to muster Warp 5
    Plus if he pushed it, the fuel cells could rupture then they would die
    Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try
    But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it
    And told her goodbye, she started to cry, but he knew if he could distract 'em
    He could buy her some time and she could make it out alive
    Turn the suit around and got prepared for the stand off
    Space mind had blew one of the hands off
    Damaged laser cannons and he got the system jammed
    And he faced the whole fleet, blood seeping through his teeth
    The final saga in the seven planet wars
    Unsheethed the sword and then he charged forward
    His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass
    He let out a laugh and then all she heard was a blast like

    -Spraypaint & Ink Pens

    As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
    I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
    Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies
    Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
    Room enough for one I tell my homies they can't ride
    Unless they sittin on the shoulders but that's way too high
    Let's try not to step on the children
    The news cameras filmin
    This walkin project buildin
    Now there's hoes sellin hoes like right around the toes
    And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
    There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
    And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
    And there's a car chase goin on at the waist
    Keep a vest on my chest
    I'm sittin in my room as I'm lookin out the face

    -Daydreamin'

    We could do this all day with Lupe's ? but I am trying to find this verse he penned for Jay electronica on okayplayer.com he never spit it he just wrote it and posted it. The ? was goat give me a second to track it down.

    Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased
    in glass with an ion beam for longevity
    For more then 10 centuries, impressions and memories
    the first time machine inventor will mention me
    Canibus was a visionary indeed
    he believed light could travel in multiples of C
    The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries
    of Clan Calusa with 2 blue metric rulers
    Liked Cool J, but thought Stephen J. Gould was cooler
    and he never liked to propagate rumors
    Smoked Canary Island cigars
    liked America, luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads
    He had a strong mind, he used to philosophize
    about rhymes while he was pruning his Banzai
    He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time
    but he would never take it out his archives
    He wrote 2 songs per day
    and was constantly experimenting with his wordplay
