I'm interested in finding more great songwriters across different genres and I want to defeat my own bias, so don't tell me the artist or genre (or maybe put it in tags).

Here are a few of mine -

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds

Song info
Bob Marley - Redemption Song

If you're really as tough as your defenses, you'd let them fall

Song info
Jimmy Eat World - Stop

Tried to deceive me, you only deceived you; what you thought was invisible was only see-through

Song info
One Be Lo - Decepticons

I said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time"

Song info
Oasis - Falling Down

Emotional luggage, nothing of it, I don't check bags; I just carry on, leave that bullshit in the past

Song info
Curren$y - Airborne Aquarium

Nothing no scary like a gunman voice when people beg a gunman think twice, and him say no

Song info
Damian "Junior Gong" Marley - Gunman World (Is It Worth It?)

To turn your sick soul inside out - so that the world, so that the world can watch you die

Song info
Gil Scott-Heron - Home Is Where the Hatred Is

Coincidentally, not all those songs are necessarily at the top of my recommends, but they are the first memorable one-liners that came to mind. I won't mind if your picks aren't the greatest songs of all time either if the line still hits.
