Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.

By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me

"Now it's clear that I'm here, for a real reason
'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fucking breathing"
-"many men" 50 cent
it is delivered with so much power, gets me amped everytime

"She says, “Daddy what's wrong?”, But he's just too high, “Mommy what we gon' do?”, She just get drunk and cry"
-apologize remix

Butterfingers - I Love Work:

...
At the busiest intersection, really startin' to wish that I slept in
Cos now a cop is pulling me over, And I'm quite sure that i'm not quite sober
But he's happy just giving me a ticket, When he pisses off I'm gonna flick it out the window
And go to work wired, hope I don't get fired for being so tired.
...

I can't bring it down to one either. Some off the top of my head--

No, she don't know why she got all dolled up for a suicide
And when the stage lights dimmed on the fading scrim,
it was morning before the cheering died.

-the decemberists "i don't mind"

"We won’t have a thing so we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free, maybe not with words, maybe not with a look
But with your mind."

-cat power "maybe not"

She aint got nothing at all
cos everyday she falls in love
And everynight she falls when she does

-velvet underground "oh! sweet nuthin"

 

[neverstop]

"I remember when we used to climb up Indian rock and watch the sunset low cross the rooftop, and just like that the beat will stop...the beat will drop, you can try but you can't rewind the clock, you can't love when your heart is locked and I've lost the key babe."

Just very relevant, I Indian Rock
