? i need it explained :(

slipped a couple pink xan-ies/ danced around the house in a pair of pink panties/my mom is gone that broad would never understand me/i'm not gay i just wanna boogie to sum marvin

not really punderful but its the best lines i've heard in a while

fyi to just sayin

"Real G's move in silence like lasagna"

the 'g' is mostly silent in the word 'lasagna'!

haha yeah i get that... but thats the 1 meaning right?? just dont get the easter egg part of it.

Took me like three listens to get the joke. Guess I'm a retard :/

yah lasagna doesnt move so its not mindblowing

but i did lol @ i like the line bcuz its silly

you guys seriously got that joke on first LISTEN (ie, not seeing it written out where it becomes more obvious). I posted it on twitter and had "IDGI"s all day long

it took you a long ass time to get it, tbf

and a bunch of hipster puppy fans not getting the line isn't really evidence in your favor

i didnt get it immediately & thats why its silly / funny to me! if i got it right away itd just be a normal toilet/im the shit overrated wayne punchline

still didnt take me as long as WGW tho lol

this isn't rap but:

yeah, when he grabs his guitar and starts to pluck
Everybody wants to get up and dance

didn't take me that long but for a second i was like wait, pluck doesn't rhyme with dance

bought my dudes watches, that's how we pass time

not sure what's worst about that: it's existence in the first place, the fact that it was written after a mixtape that even pusha t stans admitted sucked, that the dude quotes a bunch of lines from said mixtape, or that "move caine like a cripple" didn't even crack the top 15

its*

i push caine like alfie's pallbearer http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

already answered but to clarify further it's jay-z, song is "d'evils" offa reasonable doubt

i don't wanna get all rtfm on you, but you can just <ctrl-c/copy line of text>, google: <ctrl-v> space "lyrics", and you'll get the artist and title probably as the first choice. i do this all the time, like if i hear some song i like on the radio and i don't know who it is, i just type a line or two i can pick out into my smartphone (any line will do) and later google those words, in order, plus "lyrics"

po-po try to convict him,
that's a no go,
my dough keep the scales tipping

"rotate the chickens like a weather vane

wait, so i get that the wind both blows and is blow, and chickens are crackheads, but whats the significance of "it come and go"?

as in, the cocaine moves quickly, like the blowin wind

/hurricane

ok yeah, i thought i was missing something else for some reason! great line anyway...

<ctrl-c/copy line of text>, google: <ctrl-v> space "lyrics",

you can just highlight, right-click, and select "Search Google for." 12 clicks fewer!

when dave cool posts in here, he will always tell you what the artist is http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

how chttp://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gifl of u

its really the cool thing 2 do http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

xpost R0NG! i mean, it probably works ok sometimes, but i find you're more likely to get it right the first time if you type "lyrics" at the beginning or end of the phrase. though i suppose you could highlight, right click, search google, then if it doesn't answer correctly, *then* type "lyrics" at the end of the line.

that said i suppose google might have improved it's algorithms to the point where you no longer need to type "lyrics" it justknows that's what you want <cue creepy twilight zone music>

if it doesn't answer correctly, *then* type "lyrics" at the end of the line.

yeah, this. if there's a distinctive word in the sentence then lyrics are usually the first six answers

maybe this one is really obv & i'm late on not getting it but this jay-z couplet from "gotta have it"

cuz now i'm richer
and prior to this shit was moving freebase
