We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
Its easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Yo, I activism - attackin the system, the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
Shit and all they got is rappin to listen to
I let them know we missin you, the love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin you
Now, why would I lie? Just to get by?
Just to get by, we get fly
The TV got us reachin for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drug
When, all you really need is love
fuck it that whole verse is dope.

Straight up bitch, save a bitch

I could post a million 2pac quotes here, here is my favorite:
With all this extra stressin
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finaly get to rest? Through this supression
they punish the people that's askin questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possesions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even the genius asks-es questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change
It wasn't nuttin like the game
It's just me against the world

Common from 6th Sense, I love this verse
Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one's perspective?
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
Travel the world and penetrate the times
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em
For now I appreciate this moment in time
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like

LOL, the only thing he's saying is for rappers to stop using thug gimmicks to get by and use skill to prove themselves in the game. That's hardly an "uplifting" message for the youth in the same vein as something KRS-One would say.

Nasty Nas - Nas Is Like, the whole song is :o
But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called, history's made
Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is

'Watch the man in the mirror, look into your inner
Self, maintian health and never be a quitter'
Song: Born To Win
Artist: Papoose
Expand on that...
Its only wut you make it thats wut we gotta remember
but deep down inside everybodies a winner
You gotta work hard January till December
finish wut you start and you can be a contender
Watch the man in the mirror, look into your inner,
self-maintian health and never be a quitter
Gotta shine like the sun, flow like the river
you see a chance to win then take it like a picture
I aint trynna preach to you dont feel bitter
Im just trynna tell you wut it take to be a winner
Hes a champion cuz its impossible to stop him
Victory is a option

Hey Young World by Slick Rick is uplifting, I don't feel like posting the lyrics though, and it's also made for the kids.

"The jewel of existence, you'll love it - listen. Everybody shine, man, everybody glisten. From the projects to the suburbs, strugglin or bubblin, we jugglin our duties for the beauty that is above."
Artist: Pep Love
Track: "Living is Beautiful"
"Hold ya head up, there's a light in the sky, I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive. Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by. Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize.”
Artist: Macklemore
Track: Hold Your Head Up

"We're all in the same gang."
Westcoast Rap Allstars - We're All In The Same Gang
"Here's another point in life you should not miss.
Do not be a fool who's prejudiced,
because we're all written down on the same list.
It's like that, and that's the way it is."
Run-DMC - It's Like That
That song on the whole is full of messages, but that last verse always stuck in my mind.

rappin' 4-tay on "off parole"
I wonder why there's so much hatred in this world today
You know a lotta of us brothers and sisters
Ain't gone make it to see another day
-
The streets are full of sadness, dope and geto madness
Besides your brain and slangin' them thangs the only apparatus
Be that hot lead, I seen him yesterday but now my homie's dead
I hope I ain't going crazy, I know I ain't losing my head
No more obituaries, no more hearse, that shit hurt
You damn right, but see there's game plus a part of life
Got so much game to give they label my rap positive
Why not take advantage of that and give it back to my neighbourhoodb - rappin' 4-ay

Common (again) in "Retrospect for life" on abortion:
Three hundred and fifteen dollars ain't worth your soul
Damn.
