Write Down To It

I am perhaps the biggest music fan I know. Here are some quotes from songs that help me get through whatever is stressing me out at that time. Or music quotes i just really like.

"So many years of depression make me vision/The better livin, type of place to raise kids in" - Nas(If I ruled the World)

Well it's only fitting I end with that quotable since all the songs I listed are hip hop, and that last quote is how i feel about music in general also. So i guess this was the hip hop version (I'm sure there will be other hip hip versions). Do you have any favorite music quotables?
