Rap Quotes

And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble,
But I disregarded detour signs,
And did not stop til you was mine.

Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps.
Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'

That's why there are a lot of fights. That's how come the whole thing with rap has been violent. It's because of the male ego.
