Big Sean turned 27 a few days ago, so the Blavity team is showing him some birthday love by listing his best lyrics! Check them out and let us know which ones are your favorite.

Blessings: “F*** a vacay, I feel better at work.”
First Chain: “Now I’m in the penthouse, look what a mill do/Looking in the mirror and I’m still you, I’m still you.”
Selling Dreams: “Sometimes last words can have the worst ending/Wish we could fast forward time and reverse feelings/Is there a warranty for love to return and fix it?”
Play No Games: “Wine fine, like a bottle from the 99/Hit you with the 99 like it’s f****** primetime.”
Mercy (Feat): “I give her that D, cause that’s where I was born and raised in.”
IDFWU: “F*** your two cents if it ain’t goin’ towards the bill”
Slight Work (Feat): “Probably in your girl’s dreams, probably in your daughter’s locker.”
Blessings: “Crew look like we robbed a bank, but all we make is deposits.”
Fire: “Can do anything in the world expect not do it.”
Guap: “Far as I came, guess when you’re running the game they want you to sprain.”
All Me: “Everything but gentle…but I still take my time. Man I guess I’m just old fashioned.”
Slight Work: “Under 25, living the f****** life, White America said I’d be doing 25 to life/ And just for that imma blow 25 tonight/You make 25 a year, I make 25 a night.”
One Man Can Change the World: “Taught me how to love, taught me not to cry/When I die, I hope you teach me how to fly/All my life you’ve been that angel in disguise.”
Diamonds (Feat): “Reminiscing when I had everything on layaway/ I’m rolling with me and my partner like it was Training Day.”
Detroit vs. Everybody: “Boy I need no half’s a half, I want the game in entirety/Hundred percent cut, no stitches required.”
Play No Games: “Girl, even when I’m gone, just know I’m there for ya/ I’m all ears, in other words here for ya.”
Clique (Feat): “It’s grind-day, from Friday, to next Friday.”
24 Karats of Gold: “Why don’t schools teach more mathematics/Less trigonometry and more about taxes/They at the chalkboard, teaching us ass backwards/How about preparing us for life, instead of lab rat us?”
One Man Can Change the World: “With all the drive in the world, swear you still need gas.”
Who Knows: “Give us opportunity and see what we do with it.”
Dark Sky (Skyscrapers): “But I’ve been working on myself and that’s the most important work, even if you don’t get paid for it.”
First Chain: “Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned ‘em into goals.”
Dark Sky (Skyscrapers): “I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the white house/ standin’ next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed/ I said ‘You not the only one I know got rich wearin’ masks.’”
Guap: “They like, ‘Boy, won’t you get your rest on?/ Bitch, cause I’m up for every hour I was slept on.’”
I Know: “So many charges on my card, Oh God, I think it got indicted.”
Beware: “Cause girls only say hate you to the guys that they love”
IDFWU: “I got a million trillion things that I’d rather f****** do, than to be f****** with you.”

Happy belated birthday, Big Sean! The Blavity fam can’t wait to see what you do next.
