Hip Hop Daily Quoteable Verse #3

I kinda slipped...okay, I really slipped. I haven't done these in 2-3 weeks, and I need to get back to it...so, my first one back is a really good one: Meek Mill's verse on the MMG joint "Running Rebels" featuring Wale, Stalley, and Teedra Moses.

So, here goes number 3:

"They Larry Davis'd me, and said I tried to kill a cop. Picture that, and they ain't fire not a single shot.

They said I'm guilty, I ain't get the chance to say I'm not. Bail was a quarter mill, they put me in a box.

Ha, dead broke tryna get a bail, calling n***as really knowing they don't give a hell. But I ain't give a f*** 'cause I ain't tryna sit in jail, they givin' n***as letters here, and they ain't sending mail.

I'm talking life sentence, forever nice pendants. This s*** here will turn a man into a nice n***a. This s*** right here will turn a killer to a nice n***a. Cold cell, locked down like a vice gripper.

Lead by my strategy, winning I do sporadically. Try attacking me, automatics shoot automatically. City backing me, headed for it, no looking back at me. Lyrical assault, they charge me without the battery.

Ha, running rebel on another level, like the Olympics, these young'ns just won another medal. They say to get a hundred mill, you must become the devil. If you believe that, n***a you is dumb as ever.

Young and dumb, or either old and stupid. I put my faith in God, never try, I just do it. N***as get down for the moment, they ain't for the movements. My n***a Rozay put me on the tour 'cause I Am Music." - Meek Mill "Running Rebels"

Hip Hop Daily Quotable Verse #1: 7/16

Just a little something I decided to do, post a great quote or a great verse (hopefully daily).

-Day 1: 7/16-

“Ay, believe in God like the sun up in the sky, science can tell us how how, but they can’t tell us why.

I seen a baby cry, then seconds later she laughed, the beauty of life-the pain never lasts.

The rain always pass, the sun don’t always shine. When it’s gone, I’m lonely, but when it’s there, I’m fine.

I hate the winter time, because the nights come quicker, the light make them whites think I’m a nice young n***a.

But at night, they think twice, and walk a little faster. It’s funny, a hundred years ago, I would’ve called this n***a masta.

How the tables turn, but still the fire burning, I feel the heat the world is a dryer turning…turning.

I’m looking for some higher learning…learning.

Girl, you what I desire, yearning…yearning.

You can say I’m easily distracted, I think the problem is I’m easily attracted by the dark side, the temptation got me questioning where my heart lies. I’m tryna separate myself like apartheid.

But, the liquor keep swallowing.

I swear I walk with God, but the devil keep following…

I say the devil keep following, following…

I say the devil keep following, following…

I say the devil keep following, following…”

- J. Cole “The Badness”
