EGO RAP!!!!!

Ego rap cannot be reduced to merely one line but some of the best rap I've ever heard has come from Ego rap!!!!!  8) 

Young MC:  I Let 'em Know
Now I have won one million battles
Take emcees and line up like cattle
Bred em and then I lock em up in a pen
and if they want another try then I will do it again.

.....
Continuing with my tale to never flop or to fail
Be good to you just like a discount at a one day
I'm not a criminal nor  hood neither the riff or the raff
If every was a comic I'd be making you laugh
If every rapper was a worker I'd be chief of the staff
And on a scale of one to ten I am a ten and a half
If every was a lion I'd be king of the beast
If every rapper was a cop I would be Chief of Police
If every rapper was a soldier I would be Rambo
If every rapper was Hawaiian I would be Don Ho





Young MC: I Come Off
I don't mean to brag or boast or try to tell ya I'm great
But I can rock a microphone like Dorothy Hamill can skate
Yeah I can say a funky rhyme like Greg Lougins can dive
Don't have to be Saturday night for Young MC to get live....


.....
You know the other rappers wanna play a game with me
They run and hide when they hear the name of young Mc
Like a kid playing tag that's how it's got to be
so when I start I say Ally Ally Oxen Free
...
City to city and town to town, Place to place,
country to country cuz I get around
Even if you were in prison you'd'a heard me play
cuz the warden had me rockin' them on the PA

..... and when the rhymes are finally finished people say God Damn!

I was reading the ego rap and thought how aptly named it was. It is no different than the way I think about my job.
They say that no matter how good you are there is always somebody better, well in my job I'm that somebody so I
can relate to the rap.  ;D

Another:

"Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to?" What Have You Done....Within Temptation

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
... Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

~Bob Dylan

Ok, a little longer than a one liner, but timeless.  Totally fits today's political climate.

And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride
do all those who lie here know why they died.
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?
Did you really believe that this war would end wars.
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame,
the killing, the dying it was all done in vain.
Oh Willy McBride it all happened again,
and again, and again, and again, and again.
