J-Live - Home Or Away (2011).
"Stand for triple threat / what it mean? / let's see: the DJ, the producer, the emcee / more like knowledge, wisdom, and understandin' / it's hard work on three - so throw your hands in / now throw your hands up / man up, stand up / til the show and the cup runneth over / the flow so fluid that you can't stay sober / like 3/4ths water: we tearing the whole globe up / / I'm chilling, keeping it simple, sipping a mimosa / sitting Indian style while eating a simosa / lounging with a lady friend fit for a poster / ass fatter than a left tackle from Samoa / [...]" - J-Live
The Last Emperor - Do You Remember?
Yes, I remember. / Do you remember? / Some say the price of life has a costly amount / when it comes to fights, I mighta lost me a bout / but I never lost my head / cause that would cost me a scalp / [...]" - Last Emperor
On "scalping," Wikipedia says that "Scalping is the act of removing another person's scalp or a portion of their scalp, either from a dead body or from a living person. / The purpose of scalping is to provide a trophy of battle or portable proof of a combatant's prowess in war. / Scalping is often associated with frontier warfare in North America, and was practiced by Native Americans, colonists, and frontiersmen across centuries of violent conflict. William Brandon and Keith Rosenberg, Native American specialists, state that some Mexican (e.g., Sonora and Chihuahua) and American territories (e.g., Arizona) paid bounties for enemy Native American scalps. Contrary to popular belief, scalping was far from universal amongst Native Americans."
