Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
Tossed salad and scrambled eggs

Oh My
Mercy (alt: Quite stylish.)

And maybe I seem a bit confused,
Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

follow me into a solo
get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo
music mixed mellow maintains to make
melodies for mc's motivates the breaks
i'm everlastin, i can go on for days and days
with rhyme displays that engrave deep as x-rays
i can take a phrase that's rarely heard, flip it
now it's a daily word
i can get iller than 'nam, a killin bomb
but no alarm - rakim will remain calm
self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
but for a microphone still i fiend
this was a tape i wasn't supposed to break
i was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
i want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
takin the making, bitin it and borrowin
brothers tried and others died to get the formula
but i'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm
you a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen
so follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
let's travel at magnificent speeds around the universe
what could ya say as the earth gets further and further away
planets are small as balls of clay
astray into the milky way - world's outasight
far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
now stop and turn around and look
as ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took!
so keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
you better follow it cause it's the r
this is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
the leader

I tend to think that either Telegram Sam or JORR made the right selection.

But I'll throw in another option here.

The song has become a classic rock cliche, but it remains an incredibly powerful elegy for the white working class. And it captures the central thematic concerns of a sprawling career both economically and ingeniously:

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Of course I've heard the song a million times, but I have to say, the hair still stands up on the back of my neck sometimes when he says, "Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line".

Yeah that song is fucking awesome. At one point in my life I got sick of it but now that I hardly ever listen to it I enjoy it when it's on.

The correct answer is always Rush.

Nothing stands out, though.

Don't have much use for Bruce. Although I've shifted on him from unlistenable to an occasional "meh". He's the black Chuckle of music for me...my tastes have changed as I've gotten older.

In the morning
Don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

or


Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of public enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

I can sing the latter to myself at work, but I ain't got Rod's pipes

Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping, left it's seeds while I was sleeping.

And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
Within the sound of silence.

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinkin bout the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out..laid off
Says he got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it's something ya did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin for a new friend
A man in the cool skin cap
In the pig pen, wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Sam and psycory has the best Dylan ones imo but I’d throw these two out as my favorites not yet listed.

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don’t sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above


When you're lost in the rain in Juarez when it's Easter time, too
And your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess outta you

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Boom babies..strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
