After listening to some rap music, such as that from Eminem and K'naan (probably more hip-hop), I've grown more aware of extremely clever lyrics in songs. I'm quite fond of seeing what I would describe as complete lyrical genius, and I'm curious as to what you feel may be incredible lyrics from a song. If you know the line you feel is extremely impressive, share it here as well as the song and let's see what you like in songs. I might as well go first:
This is a line from the song 'Not Afraid' from Eminem's most recent album, Recovery. Personally I think it's a wonderful piece of lyrical art seeing as it's a great metaphor, that I personally would never have thought of having in a song. Plus, if you've listened to his earlier albums, such as Infinite (which is 14 years old now), he describes the difficulty of raising his daughter on his budget. So I think it's wonderful due to this factor."So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it "
Now GB community - what do you think is lyrical genius?
