In Johnny Cash's "Live from Folsom Prison" album there is a song called 'cocaine blues'. The first verse goes like this:
early one morning while making the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that loving forty-four beneath my head.
I keep this in my back pocket when conservatives claim that Rap and Hip Hop glorify violence, guns, misogyny, and drug use. I defy you to find something from NAS or Killer Mike that can compete on the level of classic country.
It's bordering on conspiracy, but there's an argument to be made that record labels pushed gangster rap and downplayed others to keep black communities down.

Genesis' Carpet Crawlers (lyrics) wants a word.
One of the most graphically sexual songs I've ever heard. The only other contender is literally about pet play.
Edit: the Carpet Crawlers are literally sperm. People never believe me until I start breaking it down, and then they're like, "holy fuck, how did they get away with this?"
You should check out the Liza and Louise songs by NOFX lol

Using 2 of the most lyrically gifted rappers is cheating. WAP exists.
doesn't matter, because it's a disingenuous post anyways. the song is about how that shit is BAD:
Early one morning while making the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my headGot up next morning and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, MexicoLaid in the hot joints taking the pill
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willie Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hop that shot your woman downI said yes sir, my name is Willie Lee
If you got a warrant, just read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sorе
I thought I was her daddy but she had five morеWhen I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on train and it took me back
I had no friends for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jailGot up next morning about a half past nine
Spied a sheriff coming down the line
Hopped and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, come on you dirty hop into that district court
See country shows near Lewiston
Get tickets as low as $54

Into the courtroom, my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before that jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look aboutIn about five minutes, in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, lordy lordy, have mercy on meThe judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
Ninety-nine years in the Folsom pen
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot my woman downCome on you hops and listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be -

FWIW classic rock often wasn't just about sex - it was about sex with 14-year-old girls. And often the same 14-year-old girl.
Nothing, however, can possibly top Steven Tyler of Aerosmith becoming the legal guardian of the underage girl he was fucking so he could bring her on tour with him.

I was skimming your comment and this part look exactly like some autogenerated SEO bullshit.
The issue is markdown - to get a proper new line, you need to put two spaces a the end. Alternatively you can just press enter twice, but that obviously creates double spacing, which comes with its own readability issues. And the last solution would be to put all the lyrics into a code block, but that's pretty excessive.

Wasn't that Ted Nugent?

I dunno, maybe Nugent did it, too. He's not exactly an original.

More than you'd expect I imagine. Lots of blues.
Aerosmith is outright gone (probably for the best. They cant make it through a single song without talking about it)
Aerosmith isn't classic . . . goddammit.

My assumption was they copied and pasted from a lyrics website without checking and got a mid page ad in the process.
