Your (2)Dope Opinion: What’s Your Current Favorite Verse?

While watching SoulCultureTV‘s interview with Donald Glover on his favorite verse, it had me thinking of my own current favorite, which happens to be Danny Brown’s first 16 from his song “Re-Up.” So, citizens of the dopehouse, I ask what is your current favorite verse?

[Verse 1: Greg Porn]

I’m in the double G, three-piece tux
Screaming dressed to kill
Hope somebody call my bluff
It’s a full house… sipping on a royal flush
Two queens is on my cuffs
Good times is in the cards
Living on borrowed time
I’m paying the extra charge
To feel like something small is worth a hundred large
Swag is on retard, charm is on massage
Wit is on guard, I challenge you to a duel
Who needs a chain when every thought’s a jewel
God bless the weirdo when everyone’s a fool
Fuck a genie and three wishes
I just want a bottle, a place to write my novel
I am like heroin to those that hear a rhyme and think
How do you find this upper echelon this time
Let’s toast to better days, a beautiful mind, and a flow that never age

IT’S Acutally a Childish Gambino verse
HOLD YOU DOWN

[Verse 2]
The reason that they say I’m nothin’ what they seen or heard’s
The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls
They only see you how they wanna see you
‘Til you make them see you in some other way
I’m trippin’ off the other day
Cause God knows what these white kids sayin’
Dude you’re not not racist cause The Wire’s in your Netflix queue
Subtle racism
It’s hard to pin it cause you’d only understand
If you were me for just a minute
This one kid said somethin’ that was really bad
He said I wasn’t really black because I had a dad
I think that’s kinda sad
Mostly cause a lot of black kids think they should agree with that
If you’re a father, you should stick around if you could
Cause even if you’re bad at it, you get Tiger Woods
MJ
We warriors, we all need senseis
Change everything that we’ve done so far
I don’t mean makin’ B.E.T. T.E.R
I mean just the way that we see each other
I won’t stop until they say, “James Franco is the white Donald Glover”
Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie but instead I gave ‘em Loch Ness
Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice
Aimin’ for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that
They ask me what I’m doin’, I say I’m stealin’ rock back
