Amazing voice, amazing song

The pistol now as prophet, the bullet some kind of Lord and King,
But pain is the only promise that this so called Savior's gonna bring
                                        - Ray Lamontagne, "How Come"

He strangles his girlfriend then shoots himself. How romantic. He the man.

And love is evol (evil)
Spell it backwards I'll show ya
                                        - Eminem, "Spacebound"

Original by the Rolling Stones. This cover is my favourite

I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another whore to take my pain away
                                        - Guns 'n' Roses, "Dead Flowers"

He was enterprising before he was multi-platinum

This one's a tongue twister even when it's being written down!

I'm that brother* that sold coke, the brother that sold dope
The brother that shot dice, went broke and sold soap
                                        - 50 Cent, "Life's on the line"

*offensive words have been replaced with ones that won't get me killed.

How's this for sexual innuendo?

You've got a way of coming over me,
Like rain
                                        - Liz Longley, "Rush"

But jokes and double entendres aside, this is one great song, both musically and lyrically. Highly recommended!

He means, "Bastard"

I'll have your mama pickin out your casket,
Bastid
                                        - 50 Cent, "What Up Gangsta"

Extramarital

His ring is on your finger
But my heart is in your hands
                                        - Bon Jovi, "Damned"
