I thought that since some of the Ug stuff has some pretty good messages goin on...I thought we could post some of our fave quotes-



Brother Ali - "Forest Whitiker" from Shadows on the Sun

Depending on the day, and depending on what I ate.
I'm anywhere from 20 to 35 pounds overweight.
I got red eyes, and one of them's lazy.
And they both squint when the sun shines so I look crazy.
I'm albino man, I know I'm pink and pale.
And I'm hairy as hell, everywhere but fingernails.
I shave a cranium that ain't quite shaped right.
Face tight, shiny, I stay up and write late nights.
My wardrobe is jeans and faded shirts.
A mixture of what I like, and what I wear to work.
I'm not mean and got a neck full of razor bumps.
I'm not the classic profile of what the ladies want.
You might think I'm depressed as can be.
But when I look in the mirror I see sexy ass me.
And if that's something that you can't respect then that's peace.
My life's better without you actually.
To everyone out there, who's a little different.
I say damn a magazine, these are God's fingerprints.
You can call me ugly but cant take nothing from me.
I am what I am doctor, you ain't gotta love me.

"The Missing Pieces" By Illogic

Listen...Everything that's lost isn't meant to be found.
Some things that you find, are probably meant to be lost.

I found that life is what you make it so I made it a song,
For the world to hear, and hopefully you'll sing along,
I found a loop hole that leads to who knows where,
Let's just hope the path revealed is a shield for all the gray hair,
Love can only exist if hate holds it's hand,
That origami box never unfolds according to plan,
There's a thin line between ecstasy and evolution,
Screaming silence it's the perfect recipie for revolution,
I found that children are a blessing and a curse,
'Cus they reflect who you are, at your best and at your worst,
I've lived above clouds and below sea levels, (right?)
Searched the hearts of crowds with a fine tooth comb,
I've disected sound and found a rebel,
Broke down style 'till I was a mile from home,
For days and nights, stage and lights,
records, mics, show a road I've trekked all along,
Wrong or right, my life's a song i'll perform tonight,
Just to show you that my light burns strong,
I've found confidence where cadence layed obvious,
An amazed dawn look of state captive is versus layed,
I've found my wife's smile again and pocketed the precious stone,
There's nothing worse than being drowned in frowns when you're alone,
I've found death and rest between sleep and awake,
Proving that you live as much as you give, and to die is to take,
Where's the bridge over troubled waters, I'm tryin to take a stroll,
As the rivers rush and waves crash to flood my soul,
Where's the open doors, I'm tired of pickin' locks,
And breakin' windows, throwin' rocks and tickin' clocks 'till the candle recandles,
Where's tomorrow, I thought I found fragments in yesterday,
Remnants of imagination on which my kids can play,
Where's desire, somewhere between patience and insanity,
Can it be I found myself between humility and vanity,
Where's Juar, I left him on a mountain shootin' for the stars,
Hopin' to land on the green and get his game up to par,
I've found what's worth having is what's worth losing,
And life is not worth living without a little bruising,
If only I would have gathered a staff to take notes and jot quotes,
To give me some focus and notice my thesis,
I would've found that the puzzle was incomplete,
But only I could uncover and insert the missing piece,

Akir - second verse from treason
.
.
Yo, yo, they be manipulatin, politicians delegatin
Task of perpetratin, sounds like Satan makin racist statements
of abomination, niggaz pray to somethin sacred
Waitin for that force to save 'em, instead of savin
Movin destinations, property papers, waitin on your 40 acres
'til you old and ancient, swole or achin while the hole is gapin
To cake to make your way in
I pray to God but all the "Amens" in the world'll never make your aim win
Famous celebrity could fall off like lepracy, they tellin me
So I pay attention, fuck the envy and the jealousy
Y'all niggaz could save, Akir's a latest rave
Saw me chillin on The Source page, fanbases span race
Complete with shorties that blaze, be revered in my old age
from rippin the stage, and even then from above when I wave
Throwin flowers on my grave, burnin sage
Sayin, "Thanks A, who made ways for freein the slaves," uhh
.

[!FEren]

In The Event Of My Demise
When My Heart Shall Beat No More
I Hope I Die For A Reason Or a Belief
That I Had Lived For
I Will Die Before My Time
Because I Feel My Shadow's Depth
So Much I Wanted To Accomplish
Before I Reached My Death
I Have Come To Grips With The Possibilty
And Wiped The Last Tear From My Eyes
I Loved All Who Were Positive
In The Event Of My Demise

Franco - Cement Shoes

Marksman, skill in killin', illin', I'm able and willin'
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage a village
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerrillas
This ain't no real war, Vietnam shit
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict

Rugged man, uncommon valor:a vietnam story on JMT album...

While you're looking for a job, he's looking in the mirror

Eyedea - Big shots

Be prepared for the worst
But expect the best
No matter where life takes you
Come home to the West

"Joan of Arcadia"...Bernard Dolan

Joan of Arc had a dildo named Jesus..
Made of wood of the cross of its namesake..
She considered the splinters atonement..
And when she came it would fill her with light..
Her body was an ocean full of wreckage..
Her flesh was a map of hell..
That spilled out the sides of her dresses..
With flappy arms of modern surrender..

"The Crow on the Riddle"...Bernard Dolan

*The..answer...is time...(yeah)
The correct answer is time*

Yeah...That's it...You got it...again

*I got it right again!...
I am so good at this game of..answering riddles...
It's my favorite new thing to do!...
Do you know any more good riddles?*

I don't know Ben it's getting kinda late, buddy

*Please!...Show me another riddle...Show me another riddle*

Okay..Alright..Let me see if I can find one...
Let me look in my..fuckin' riddle book

(Singing)
The sheep's in the meadow...
The cow's in the corn...
Now is the time for a child to be born...
Laugh at the moon, cry for the sun...
And if it's a boy, he'll carry a gun...
Sang the crow...On the cradle

*Tell me another riddle..
Tell me another riddle..
Tell me another riddle*

I have a name but it isn't my name... (*Tell me another riddle*)
My face shows signs of age... (*Signs*)
And I always mean the same thing (*Age*) No matter what I say...
I'm born in the morning (*Morning*) I last 'til the end of days...
Men plant me but I never grow (*The ground*) Run from me but I never move
Look at me to see their future and rot in the fields where I bloom

*Rot...in the fields*

What am I?

*Plenty...I have a name...
A tombstone...The answer is a tombstone*

That's anough riddles for tonight

*I got it right again*

No more riddles

*Tell me another riddle..(No)..Tell me another riddle..(No)*

(Singing)

Crow on the cradle...Black and the white...
Somebodies baby is good for a fight...
Crow on the cradle...The white and the black...
Somebodies baby is not coming back...
Sang the crow...On the cradle

(Laughing)

*You're drunk...Calm down...
I don't want to play anymore*

DEATH!

What do circus elephants and certian presidents have in common?
Who isn't affected?
A man is in is row boat in the middle of the ocean with his heart and a gun and a dead battery...
How does he get to shore?
When is a ghost not a ghost anymore?
When he's a ghost rider...
What's ugly old and nearly all over?
What walks on four legs in the dawn, two legs in the afternoon and rides a mechanical dragon into the fucking sunset?
The more you take the more you leave behind...
That's footsteps...
What's broken as soon as it's name is spoken?
Silence...

(Singing)
Mother and father will sweat and they'll slave...
Build you a coffin and dig you a grave...
Hush-a-bye little one...Never you weep...
For we've got a toy that can put you to sleep




I have many, many more but those are the two I can't get out of my head right now...
