Post some lines and bars that made you pause the track and reflect on what just happened a few seconds ago

Beast deceiving us ways devious possessing
My peeps who walk streets with stolen heat like Prometheus
-Jus allah I against I

I heard this track back in my early days right before I got into underground rap heavy, and this line was what got me into that phase. At the time I didn't even know rappers could even be this clever( I was mostly listening to ? ) till this day it's still impresses me. Probably in my top 5

I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I couldn't see, had the hood on me like Abu Ghraib
-Lupe daydreamin


Daydreaming was the first lupe song I ever heard and that last verse
(particularly this line) was what made me go out and buy the album. Been a huge fan ever since.

Holiday season is here and I'm vexed/Who the ? made Christmas up? I'm ? broke, it ain't making no sense
Ghostface- cold outside

This is a personal favorite. This was my favorite track in the album and this line hit home because it was during the roughest time of my life finacially lol

more to come

    Oddisee - Want Something Done

    I just had another phone meeting
    Felt like I was all alone speaking
    To the clones keeping, black music soul weeping
    I'm a new angel, and they're only want the old demons
    Glorifying music, that's abusive and a threat to us
    And if you got a message in your records
    You collecting dust upon the shelf
    They selling us components meant to self-destruct
    To shelter us in skelter of disguise of something helping us
    So I'ma build a bunker now, in the underground
    Surviving with that other sound

    I Cause I can't feel the field ? chains
    Though I covet mine, so I covered mine in blame
    Then I bumped into a ? and covered mine in shame
    Then I bumped into a ? and uncovered mine again, minor game
    Diamonds then underminded mayne, they give a ? with no mac another kinda game
    See money talks in another kinda slang

    I don't think there's a rapper with more quotables than the fiasco. Rapgenius was probably created to decipher the ? he say.

    Lupe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Paint cold pictures like Nova Scotia landscapes
    Nerd game make Mandelbrot sets when we handshake
    A word game back up plan that can dam lakes
    Backup the wordplay playing at the man's states
    Means I can still be the man if the dam breaks
    And when demand brakes I'm reflectious, what they can't face

    Lupe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    ? as tall as Yao Ming
    With L-U-P-Emperor
    Is the foundation's, I-beams and the antennas
    It's so serious every time I write my John Hancock like
    Could damn near see Detroit, I see you
    ? is scared of heights
    This is Saran Wrap and aluminum foil
    Some potpourri, a little machine oil
    I stack my paper and throw off my scents
    This is top floor, better look out below
    Pennies from heaven is the same as a semi from the second
    And I reign supreme
    Turn your umbrellas upside down
    Did you even catch the change in theme

    Now I'm eating Chicharrón yellow beans rice
    Drinking Presidente with my plug talking bout price
    ? talk about life, he asked me bout the music
    I told him it's aight, just cost me a lot to do it
    I ask about his wife
    He told me never get married
    The ? caught me cheating and made me buy her a Audi
    I told him ? damn my girl cool with her first chick
    His head shook my hands switch bags, Disappeared
    True story
