[NoHalfWay]

Brehs be saying the new Lu don't bring the bars no more only encyclopedia raps. Post your favorite lines/bars from his last two projects & guest features 2013-present.



"I see the sun, then the clouds, then the vultures
Pay respect to my sensei's sculpture
High as the angel on Dikembe's shoulder"



"Redacted visions through these dark shades
Bad dreams through the screens of an arcade
Hanging on to joy like the residues of heartbreak
Park full of art, arteries full of Parkay"

"Tony found the fountain of youth in a mountain of powder
To only find truth in the fountain, drown in the power
Surrounded by dollars"





Valleys

"It burns inside like lactic acid
Exorcise/exercise demons, turn 'em into gods
Turning in the rods for the bags of the catfish"

Preach



"Fourteen broads (Fortinbras) like the King of Norway
Fourteen broads having dreams of foreplay"

"Oedipus Rex, motherfukker his better than sex"

"The ghetto was a physical manifestation/
Of hate in a place where ethnicity determines your placement/
A place that defines your station/
Remind you nikkas your place is the basement/
White people in the attic/
nikkas selling dope, White people is the addicts!/
White folks act like they ain’t show us how to traffic!/
All that dope to China you don't call that trappin?!"

 

[10:31]

Might be the best lyricist in the game at the moment

"The ghetto was a physical manifestation/

White folks act like they ain’t show us how to traffic!"

"And if the ghetto lose that means a ghetto won
That's how they do the ghetto, that's how the ghetto's done"

So simple yet

 

[RAW_SPK]

"I like my pancakes cut in swirls,
Moroccan moles and undercover squirrels,
I like cartoons, southern cities with large moons
faith healers, ex-female drug dealers and art booms"

 

[BocaRear]

"We G's coach us back if we die in business
My Lord is my chemist, my sword is from Khemet
Egyptian fonts and ankhs
Scottish writes (rites) with Montblancs let us stomp
I walk as my father walk, master builder is what I thought"

dropping that alchemical principle, ancient knowledge & freemasonry shyt

"Where the golden means,(fibonnaci) so the overseer gets overseen
And the over here's are the older things
Can see the bell but don't know the rings
The rings are not sounds, but circles
Wear these on your virtues
See through these circles just like Steve Urkel
Till it's all universal (LABEL)
And it harmonize in like proportion to the larger size (as above so below)
And it's dynamic in the high standard
So each degree has a part to price (degrees of freemasonry)
See big whirls have little whirls that feed on their velocity
And little whirls have lesser worlds and so on to viscosity"

dropping that science

"To make gold from garbage is not the alchemical point of this math
But truth be told it's the pursuit of gold that turns the goal of men into trash
The soul's gold and they turning gold into cash
And your reflection is your connection to more collections of more directions and paths
If your reflection is a mask, then you're reflective of mass
To see yourself just look at me then split your reflection in half"

More alchemical principles and deep metaphors that goes over nikkas heads, possibly the deepest and trippiest verse I've heard in my life

Dots & Lines is lowkey one of the most profound songs I've heard in my life, all of it has deeper spiritual meanings in reference to how selling your soul to a label isn't worth it & you should "Go straight and don't sine" in reference to sine waves

The Dots & Angles also have deeper meanings to, nikka said In A Line 5 times, referring to pentagrams & 3 angels/angles referring to deep sacred geometry

Lupe is the undoubted GOAT

 

[Chip Skylark]

My reposition was black condition of activism
Ammunition for abolition, missions attacking systems
But they not after listens, unless it's dropping on Activision
Are we apps or are we bodies filled with apparitions
Operating applications, stuck inside a Apple prison
Chicken hack and download updates that lack religion




Sun positions overcome traditions
Numbers govern our young religions
Dead levels making plum decisions
Perpendicular to the undivision
That's bad curricular to the unconditioned
Any love less than unconditional is so under Christian it's unrepentant

then he goes into

But truth me told it's the pursuit of gold
That turns the goal of men into trash
The souls gold and they turning gold into cash
And your reflection is your connection to more collections of more directions and paths
If your reflection is a mask, then you're reflective of mass
To see yourself just look at me then split your reflection in half

dude spazzed

And that's my least favorite song on the whole album.

"Sun positions overcome traditions"

Dude has of way of saying simple things and build upon it in a creative way that he doesn't get credit for.

My rap position, was black condition, and activism
Ammunition for abolition, missions attacking systems
But they're not apt to listen, unless it's dropping on Activision
Are we apps, or are we bodies filled with apparitions?
Operating applications, stuck inside an Apple prison
Chicken hack, and download updates that lack religion
Or are we more...
...Than soil tainting, disloyal changelings
Preoccupied with boy and Goyle chasing, and foiling other's royal saintings?
I sit back and watch the world, through eye holes, in my oil paintings

 

[Zero]

Aye, you got a fine face, also a dime in your behind
Please can I find some time space to find base
Kinds of rhymes to describe how you’re designed great
And maybe remove the mind freight
Like it’s overhead cranes at the train yard
That Tom Cruise used in the War of the World's
Before the aliens came part
Remember that? Oh, not a fan of the sci-fi?
Like dial-up’s not a fan of the wi-fi
I’m in your eyes like little reflective little pools of tie-dye
And it’s 1972 and I’m some long-haired high guy
Driving a Volkswagen Beetle off into the California twilight
I usually got top cause I’m a guy right
But if you’re gay that’s straight too
Hey, I don’t hate, I got a couple of friends who went bi twice
Did that arrive right?
Do you like whole stories or just the highlights
Cause I like to write your life story on the sky
Made of Lite Brights, remember those?
10 years old, let me guess your age
You were a ten, ten years ago
Am I right, who you calling?
Maybe New Orleans
Where your Mother lives with your brother's kids
Because he locked up cause
Of what some other motherfukker did

 

[BocaRear]

And that's my least favorite song on the whole album.

every song on Tetsuo & Youth will have you ""

Nerd gang, make Mandelbrot sets when we handshake


In case you didn't get it

 

[Pop123]

"...Or maybe just a metal pail you hit with steel tools
To announce that you've had enough and dropping out of SEAL school
Just like trout jumping out they house to let they gills cool
Cuba's scuba couldn't take the temperature of my skill pool
Yeah,
I said it feels cool to kill fools
Slippin through the cracks like when you try to grill gruel
Techno Viking water bottle and not following pill rules
Will have you off the throttle when you should be modelin chill mood
Rollerskate maker or are you just cobblin wheel shoes
Overweight taster of king's food that kills crews
Oblivious feather-weight baker who autographs cakes
whenever his quill moves over your milieu
Simple as a Buddhist Monk in a temple standing in some heel grooves
with the abbot, practicing stillness
Real still til' he realize his realness
Defeat Samsara, achieves nirvana and brilliance,
yeah"
