"Feelin kinda great, got change for the toll" on Run-DMC's "Ragtime." Though, the whole cut is kind of a deliberate goof, with lines like "I rhyme when I am sleeping, I rhyme when I'm awake / When I was nine I said a rhyme by putting candles on my cake."

relistening to early Wu tracks through the poll, and there's a lot of classic memorable banalities and old school playful lyricism in there, in my mind Wu where always very different from fx De La but I guess maybe they weren't always as far apart as I thought

I believe it’s “fell on a weekend”...That line is basic but evocative; and part of its “work” happens when Bill’s revelation at the end of the verse gives the lie to its specificity.

Nice & Smooth "Funky For You" is rich with these:
Use my mind to control all my body partsGot an early start, plus I'm very smartType of man that the girls want to read aboutIndeed I proceed to rock the house without a doubt
Spreadin' peace and love throughout my travelsAnd take time to read and unravelDay to day problems, and then solve them,I can see clearly now as I revolve around suckers who perpetrate heroes (?)But I'm no sandwich, more like a ManwichOr maybe like a meal, which is much more realThan Clark Kent or the Man of Steel
Spring again, and I'm feelin' finePass me an ice-cold glass of wineSo I can get mellow, lay back, and let my girl play the celloHello, I hate Jell-O

But they also have one of the greatest banalities of all time, which I think about frequently: “I left my philly at home ... do you have another? I want to get blunted my brother.” Think that track might have another one ...
