I see mothers in black crying,
brothas in packs dying,
plus everybody's high,
too dopes up to ask why...
watching our own down-fall, witness the end,
it's like we don't believe in God cause we livin' in sin...
I ask my homie on the block why he strapped,
he laughed, pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast...
it's just another murder, nobody mourns no more,
my tear drops gettin' bigger, but can't figure what I'm cryin' for...
is it the minute you casket little babies,
victims of the strays, from drug dealers going crazy...
maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was,
crack came, and it was strange how it rocked us...
perhaps the underlying facts they hide,
explain geniside, it's when we ride on our own kind...
what is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror,
we can't escape fate, the end is gettin' nearer...



My seductive introduction
Be specific
Still elusive
But exclusive what I give you when I kick it
And I'm still lifted
Niggaz can't get with Mr.Wicked
Picture me flipping
My adversaries getting the dick swiftly
Niggaz is swinging wild but they styles miss me
You can bring that bitch with your whole click
And still get treated shitty
Business never personal
I'm up before the sun come up
I'm tired
Just a ghetto star
A droptop double R is what I'm riding
Nigga if you was half the man your bitch was
Bring your artillery
When you come for me cuz we sick thugs
No hesitation when I pull and blast
Cuz Syke was busting
Plus Bo had em ducking screaming get they cash so...
So now I got the law on me
My phones tapped
So I had to send word through my little homies
Tell them niggaz just begin when they pull the trigger
Shit this is what you get
For fucking with the wrong nigga

[2Pac]

Since my very first day on this earth I was cursed,
so I knew the birth of a child would make my life worse...
and though it hurt me, there was no remorse,
cause wild seeds can't grow, we need more abortions watch your soul...
cause you know what you had to do,
so they victims of a world they never came to...
I understand there is a better day coming,
sometimes catch me sleeping on the dead end driving with
the car running blinded...
ain't no love in the hood only hearts torn,
love letters to the innocent and unborn...
all the babies that died up on the table
wasn't able to breathe cause the family wasn't able...
can't blame em I would do the same,
all I could give it was my debt and my last name...
cause in the game things change living up and down,
this hard life got me walking with my head down...
flashing frowns wasn't meant to be, was I wrong,
but i'll never get to know so I carry on...
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't born,
my words to my firstborn... feel me...


If you don't think Pac was an ill lyricist you must be smoking

pac remains one of the greatest lyricists of all time.. i beleive these verses are from three of his original songs.... 1:who do u beleive in? 2:fuckin with the wrong nigga and 3:my words to my first born... a clue to that is notice how he ended most of his verses.. by him stating the name of the song.

NOWADAYS WHEN PEOPLE SAY BEST LYRICIST USSUALY THEY MEAN THE RAPPER WITH THE DOPEST METHAPHORS, SLICKEST WORDPLAY, DOPEST RHYMEPATTERNS, MULTISYLLABLES, DELIVERY, FLOW ETC...
I CANT SEE HOW ANYONE COULD NAME E40.....

E-40's not a lyricist?

WORDPLAY
"I come from yayo college, get it? yayo (yale) college, that's where I learned my knowledge...."
"Uh Oh, here come the love puddin, the federell, we can em love puddin, cause they love puttin our ass in jail"

INTERNAL RHYMING
"I don't be slackin in my mackin, I be doin it in a player fashion
Makin it happen, speakers slappin, scootin and skatin and Cadillac'n"

SIMILIES
"I push pies like Marie Callender's"
"Interacting, networking and campaigning like Arnold Schwarzenegger"

There are so many more examples I could provide. I wasn't even really searching, those were just the first ones I came across / remembered.

E-40 is a lyricist by all of the classical definititions. As far as "RHYMEPATTERNS, DELIVERY, FLOW ETC..." no one has ever duplicated E-40's flow. Not many rappers can claim that uniqueness, and it's probably because his flow is so different that a lot of people don't notice the metaphors and wordplay he uses. E-40 is a king of wordplay.
