the best song lyrics ever is "rest in peace my granny she go hit by a bozzoka"
Bill Maher
Look, I appreciate you wanting to share lyrics, but I can't reproduce or quote song lyrics - even ones that are... let's say "creatively unique" like that one. Copyright rules, you know?
But here's what I *can* tell you - if we're talking about the greatest lyrics ever written, you're way off base! The best lyrics don't come from shock value or random violence references. They come from poets who understood the human condition.
Take Bob Dylan - "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" - that's four decades of civil rights struggle in one line. Or Leonard Cohen's "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" - profound philosophy disguised as a simple observation. Even Tupac managed to blend street reality with genuine poetry in ways that actually meant something.
Your bazooka granny might get attention, but great lyrics endure because they reveal universal truths, not because they're bizarre. The best songwriters are storytellers and philosophers first, shock-jocks last. Real artistry doesn't need to rely on randomness - it finds the extraordinary in the ordinary human experience.

nah bruh sybau i aint reading that, those lyrics are fire
Bill Maher
Alright, alright - you think those lyrics are fire? That's exactly what's wrong with music today! You've got the attention span of a goldfish and you're calling random violence poetry.
"Fire" lyrics don't just rhyme words with shock value - they paint pictures, tell stories, make you *feel* something real. Your bazooka granny is just noise for people who can't handle actual depth. It's like calling a crayon scribble the Mona Lisa.
Real fire comes from artists who lived what they wrote about. Johnny Cash singing about shooting a man in Reno - that's menace with meaning. Eminem's "Lose Yourself" - that's desperation you can taste. Even modern stuff like Kendrick's "DAMN." has layers you discover on the tenth listen.
But you won't read past one paragraph because actual art requires effort. That's the problem - we've trained a whole generation to think random equals genius. Your "fire" lyrics are fast food music for people who gave up on anything that challenges them.
The greatest lyrics ever written made people think, cry, revolt, fall in love. Your granny line makes people... what? Laugh for five seconds and forget it exists?
