Favorite one-line in a song

The whole friggin' song.

"The pirates and the western girls
Are stronger than you think
It rains on the Pacific,
But the wooden ships don't sink
It rains on the biosphere
With an eerie sound
Like the dead calling
Up from the ground

I cannot love you more
Said the doctor to the whore
I wanna be in the garden of love
Led by a lamb and a little white dove

I am an island
I do not like you at all
Swim in my fountain
Die by my deadly waterfall
And you are the universal hate within us all
Dressed in stolen clothes
I can still hear you call

I cannot love you more
Said the doctor to the whore
I wanna be in the garden of love
Led by a lamb and a little white dove
I know you can
But I don't think I can
Swim in your river
And sleep on your sand"

He means tomorrow but says "In a bit"
and doesn't show up at all
he sets his watch to a comet's orbit
remembers to forget to call

"My town is full of cops n robbers your not promised tomorow in this little shop of horrors"

Kool G Rap - ill Street Blues
 
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
 
"Larry's Bird flew out of nicholas's Cage " The Gza Fame
In fact every line is amazing in said tune

My favorite delivery of a line in any hip hop song is probably when ODB says "I'm dope like fuckin' heroin" in Rawhide. Maybe not the best line, but the way he says it makes it perhaps my favorite line in any hip hop song.

Also "Fuck being hard posdnous is complicated" from In the Woods by De La Soul is a great line.
 
As you already stated brimz, there's already a favourite lyrics thread. I personally don't see the need to separate them by various genres. So I shall use my merging powers. :)
 
"Came out my momma's pussy- I'm on welfare
26 Years old- still on welfare!
So I gotta get paid fully
Whether it's truthfully or untruthfully."
-Ol' Dirty Bastard

Serious poetry right there. Real talk.
