Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Thanks for taking the time to do this diction.

And yes, there is a lot of rappers posted that i've already heard, but thats not a problem, there is still a good amount of tracks posted that i've never heard before.

I still haven't started listening to all of this songs. I'm at FreeSpeech's post right now, listening to Yonas, sounds good so far, Mindless is great. Also i listened to some Tyler, not my thing really, im not feeling him, he sound boring.
