Aha, I forgot one of the best: Ganksta NIP... They're geniuses :p

"A dead goat got pregnant and said it was mine"

"Some say I'm insane 'cause I married a dead horse"

"A tisket, a tasket, a bloody,bloody basket
Cut his head and ate his leg, now he's in a casket
a tisket, a tasket, NIP and dope he did it
he tried to get smart so we ripped out his heart
cooked it and we split it"

All of those where from the same song, could find alot mor if I bothered, but ya'll have to remember the rest yourself...
