Discussion: Best song lyrics of all time?

Saintlor

What do you think are the best and most well written song lyrics of all time?

I think these lyrics by Eminem are the best. They really make me feel like a woman. They make me feel alive. They make me empowered. They make me feel like me.

EMINEM - The Warning (Mariah Carey diss):

I'm (Obsesseed) now, oh gee
Is that supposed to be me, in the video with the goatee?
Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go balls out
Bitch shut the **** up, 'fore I put all them phone calls out
you made to my house when you was (Wild'n Out) before Nick
When you was on my dick and give you somethin to smile about

Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the **** I do, Mariah it ever occur to you
that I still have pictures? However you prefer to do
and that goes for Nick too, ****** you think I'm scurred of you?
You're gonna ruin my career you better get one
Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some **** bitch ****
that made me put up with her psycho ass over six months
And only spread her legs to let me hit once

Listen girly, surely you don't want me to talk about
how I nutted early cause I ejaculated prematurely
And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling
and said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling
Or maybe you do, but if I'm embarrassin me I'm embarrassin you

"I'm Roman, I'm a barbarian, I'm Conan
You were sleepin' on me, you were dozin'
Now MOVE, I'm going in." - Nicki Minaj

Peanut butter here
Kiss my grits
Your Momma’s in the kitchen but the ovens on the fritz
You’re Daddy’s in jail raising hell
And your sister on the corner
Sister on the corner
Selling

"When I was broke, you bought me shoes" - Kesha.

It just feels super personal and I appreciate those lyrics a lot.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame. Love is a losing game

Without girls like you there’d be no fun
We’d go to the club and not see anyone
Without girls like you there’s no nightlife
All those men just go home to their wives

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

I loved you much; It's not enough
You love blow, and I love puff
And life, is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rollin up the walls inside

I'm in the tub, You on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Then you notice likkle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first
