in Kanye's song "Through the Wire" he says:

if you could feel how my face felt
you would know how Mase felt

could go either way. Like it hurt like frick sort of how mace feels or he broke his jaw similar to ghostface breaking Mase's jaw back in the day.

Not what I was thinking.

I thought you meant "mis-heard" lyrics.

Like,"Wrapped up like a douche"

And,"Hold me close young Tony Danza"

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Mis-heard lyrices prolly need a thread of their own.

Real G's move in silence like lasagna

Also, the G in lasagna is silent.,

Very underrated Weezy lyric

Here's another from my boy Drake that just recently clicked for me:

The square root of 69 is eight something huh? Cause I been trying to figure out

Play on words. Square root of 69 is eight and some decimals. Also, the 'square root' of 69 position is one person 'ate something'.

Wayne is very underrated for his lyrics and word play, at least when he tries. I can't stand some of his new music as well tho

Kings Of Leon -- Trani

Oscillatin' on the ground
Blowin' white noise sound
Like a Trani on ____


The last word is either "tin" or "ten". But both options pretty much render the line completely nonsensical.

How in the hell are you going to claim that Lil Wayne is underrated lyrically? Wordplay is what he's known for.

Up until about a week ago when my wife corrected me I sang the song "Cyanide Girl" (not knowing the title), I sang the lyrics 'my southern girl'


Edit: I didn't notice kage's response above.

The Beatles' Happiness is a Warm Gun. Lennon swore to the grave that it wasn't about shooting a fresh rig of heroin, but about his love for Yoko Ono. (yeah right)

Bueller had a Muller but I switched it for a Mille
Cause I’m richer and prior to this s*** was moving free base


-- Jay-Z

2 or 3 different meanings in those lines, but I'll just point out the "Richard Pryor" reference.

______

My crew imperial, MC Killers: milk and cereal

-- Jay Electronica

- His crew (The Roc) kill emcees (serial)
- If you’ve seen the movie “Milk” (about Harvey Milk?, the first openly gay politician that was assassinated) you’ll understand the Milk reference connecting with the Cereal/Serial
- Milk and Cereal (MC)
(via Rapgenius)

_____________

My mind's on the scripture -
It’s beautiful, I see every line on the picture
So when the leaves rustle and the cock crows winter


-- Jay Electronica

Beautiful Mind - Russell Crowe

Annotated Grateful Dead

If you are looking for deeper meaning in lyrics then look no further than Robert Hunter.
