The following lyrics from the song "Colors" by Ice-T remind me of "The Tyger" by William Blake.

"I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking, king of my jungle just a gangster stalkin'..." from "Colors"

and

"Tyger, Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night, what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry..."

Any thoughts? Any songs that remind you of famous poems?
