There's still some truly inspired lyricists out there:

Hope there’s someone Who’ll take care of me When I die, will I go Hope there’s someone Who’ll set my heart free Nice to hold when I’m tired There’s a ghost on the horizon When I go to bed How can I fall asleep at night How will I rest my head Oh I’m scared of the middle place Between light and nowhere I don’t want to be the one Left in there, left in there There’s a man on the horizon Wish that I’d go to bed If I fall to his feet tonight Will allow rest my head So here’s hoping I will not drown Or paralyze in light And godsend I don’t want to go To the seal’s watershed Hope there’s someone Who’ll take care of me When I die, Will I go Hope there’s someone Who’ll set my heart free Nice to hold when I’m tired .-

Song: Hope there's someone

Band: Antony and the Johnsons

cartons of the milky way with pictures of a missing planet last seen in pursuit of an American dream this fool actually thinks he can drive his hummer on the moon blasting DMX off the soundtrack of a South Park cartoon niggas used to buy their families out of slavery now we buy chains and links, smokes and drinks they're paying me to record this, even more if you hear it somebody tell me what you think I should do with the money yes, friend tell me what you think I should do with the money exactly how much is it gonna cost to free Mumia? what's he gonna do with his freedom? talk on the radio? radio programming is just that - a brainwashin' gleamed of purpose to be honest, some freedom of speech makes me nervous and you looking for another martyr in the form of a man hair like a mane with an outstretched hand in a roar of hearts, thoughts, reactionary defensiveness and counter intelligence what exactly is innocence? fuck it, I do believe in the existence of police brutality who do I make checks payable to? (How 'bout I pay it in prayers?) a young child stares at a glowing screen transfixed by tales of violence his teenage father tells him that that's life, not that Barney shit a purple dinosaur that speaks of love, a black man that speaks of bloodwhich one is keeping it real, son? who manufactured your steel, son? hardcore, ancient elements at the earth's core fuck it, I'mma keep speaking 'til my throats sore an emcee told a crowd of hundreds to put their hands in the air an armed robber stepped to a bank and told everyone to put their hands in the aira Christian minister gives his benediction while the congregation hold their hands in the air love the image of the happy Buddha with his hands in the air your belief system ain't louder than my car system nigga walked down my block with his rotwiler, a subwoofer on a leasheach one teach one the DJ spins a new philosophy into a barren mindI can't front on it my head nods as if to clear the last image from an etch-a-sketch something like Rakim said- I could quote any emcee, but why should I? how would it benefit me? karmic repercussions are your tales of reality worth their sonic laced discussions? suddenly, the ground shivers and quakes a newborn startles and wakes her mother rushes to her bed side to hold her to her breast milk of sustenance heals and nourishes from the depths of creation life still flourishes yet we focus on death and destruction, violence, corruption my people, let pharaoh go what have you bought into? how much will it cost to buy you out?
