Best opening lyrics of all time


Goredho

Recommended Posts

I been warped by the rain / driven by the snow / I’m drunk and dirty / don’t you know / and i’m still.....willin’ 

In another time’s forgotten space your eyes looked through your mother’s face (

I wake up in the mornin’ at the crack of two thirty / bad taste in my mouth and my tongue’s feelin’ dirty / light up a smoke without even sayin’ a word

You left out ODB:

What y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
I'm the Osirus of this shit
Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfuckers
It's like this ninety-seven
Aight my n****s and my ni********s
Let's do it like this
I'ma rub your ass in the moonshine
Let's take it back to seventy-nine

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses
Can't define how I be dropping these mockeries
Lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred Shogun, explosion when my pen hits tremendous
Ultraviolet shine blind forensics
I inspect you through the future see millennium
Killa Beez sold fifty gold, sixty platinum
Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets, Queen Beez ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, die hard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performing live on your hottest block

As the world turns, I spread like germs
Bless the globe with the pestilence, the hard-headed never learn
It's my testament to those burned
Play my position in the game of life, standing firm
On foreign land, jump the gun out the frying pan, into the fire
Transform into the Ghostrider, or Six Pack
In A Streetcar Named Desire, who got my back?
In the line of fire holding back, what?
My peoples if you with me where the fuck you at?
Niggas is strapped, and they trying to twist my beer cap
It's court adjourned, for the bad seed from bad sperm
Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm, what the blood
Clot, we smoke pot, and blow spots
You want to think twice, I think not
The Iron Lung ain't got ta tell you where it's coming from
Guns of Navarone, tearing up your battle zone
Rip through your slums

My alltime favorite rap song.

Spent my days with a woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

 

We skipped the light fandango/Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

 

Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm.  I know, it's been comin' for some time 

 

I see a red door and i wanted painted black.  No colors anymore I want them to turn black.

 

The lunatics are on the grass.  The lunatics are on the grass.  Remembering games, and daisy chains and laughs. Got to keep the loonies on the path

 

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.  Take a sad song, and make it better.  Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start, to make it better

 

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small.  And the one that mother gives you, don't do anything at all.  Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall 

 

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite the same

 

Saturday.  In the park.  I think it was the 4th of July

 

Give me a bottle, of your very best.  'cause I've got a problem I'm gonna drink off my chest

 

The Old man was covered with tattoos and scars.  He got some in prison, and others in bars.  The rest he got workin on old junk cars, in the daytime. 

 

There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun, and it's been the ruin of many a young poor boy. And God, I know, I'm one.

^ Beat me to the Seger lyrics. 

Just take those old records off the shelf!

Saw a tweet a while back - go to karaoke and try to sing the first lyric over and over as the entire song, changing the cadence to fit the actual lyrics. It works really well with "Just take those old records off the shelf", you can get through the whole song on that line and if done right it's hilarious

Some Gary Allan love: 

There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight:
Destination, New Orleans.
Boss man says my big promotion's on the line:
He says that's right where I need to be

 

Well I won't make you tell me
What I've come to understand
You're a certain kind of woman and
I'm a different kind of man
I've tried to make you love me
You're tried to find a spark of the flame that burned and
Somehow turned to smoke ring in the dark

She never mentions the word addiction

In certain company

Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan

After you meet her family

 

Mary took to running with a travelin' man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands

Such a sad case, so broken hearted

 

She was a fast machine

She kept her motor clean

She was the best damn woman I had ever seen

 

Could be holding you tonight

Could quit doing wrong or start doing right

You don't care about what I think

I think I'll just stay here and drink

The doors at the Mission, open at 7.

And the soup will be ready about 9

Right now it's 6:30, they're ragged and dirty.

There standin, and sittin, and layin in line

First they'll do a little singin then hear a little preachin

and get saved, for the 3rd time this week

A bowl of soup later, and a pat on the shoulder

And by midnight, they're back on the street

15 minutes ago, noharleyyet said:

Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act the little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her that's her trade

I'm a big Paul Siebel fan.  Also good openings by Paul:

 

I met her at a dance, I thought I'd take a chance
So I held her tight when I heard those fiddles play
So now I'll tell the news: she made me lose my blues
Just one little kiss and I threw them all away
I got a love so true and nothing you could do could change me
I'm gonna let it shine ... like a blinding light
But I'll be back for more, I'll be a-tapping at her door
And we'll climb the hill when the whippoorwills sing tonight

 

and

 

If you don't love her, better let her go
You'll never fool her, you're bound to let it show
Love's so hard to take when you have to fake
Everything in return
You just preserve her when you serve her 
A little tenderness.

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if some of these have already been posted.

 

"I gotta say what's up to Slick Rick. For those that don't like it, eat a dick."

 

"I hear the train 'a comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend."

 

"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand."

 

"I woke up this morning, with Texas on my mind."

 

"Well I guess you were right, the bluebonnets were worth the drive, and now I'm stuck in Canyon Lake alone."

 

"Sittin' on a barstool actin' like a dern fool, that's what I'm a doin' today."

 

"I'm a sucka' for corn rows and manicured toes."

 

"Say your prayers little one, don't forget my son, to include everyone."

There's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
"Anxiety, how do you always get the best of me?"

"This is how you make yourself vanish into nothing."

"She said, 'Andy you're better than your past.'"

"She said, 'it's none of my business but it breaks my heart.'"

Today I’m living like a rich man’s son, tomorrow morning I could be a bum...

There’s a place in the world for the angry young man with his working class ties and his radical plans...

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood,  hop a flight to miami beach or to hollywood...
