We’ve given you indie Pop lyrics for Instagram captions, we’ve given you Rap lyrics for Instagram captions and we’ve given you lyrics for summer Instagram captions. Now, it’s time to cast a wider net and pull from not just songs, but movies and other captions for your social media needs. Just because these are guys, that’s not to say that a lot of these captions won’t work for anyone either. There are selections for lines aimed at your significant other, selections for when you feel like bragging, and selections for when you just want to post a random picture and need something cool to go along with it.

Lil Wayne, ‘Forever’
‘Forever’ featured an all-star cast of Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem and we might never see something like that ever again. They all had great verses, but Wayne’s verse might have the most caption-ready lines.

11. “Your bitch a four to me, I’ma take my girl to Dior this week”
Ty Dolla $ign, ‘Expensive’
Instagram captions allow for you to flex without having to necessarily tell the full truth. If that’s the case with this Ty Dolla $ign line, don’t worry about it.
12. “A loss ain’t a loss, it’s a lesson, appreciate the pain, it’s a blessing”
JAY-Z, ‘Smile’

Meek was rejuvenated with his Championships album and the big single with Fabolous and Anuel AA had some heaters on it.
Movies:
16. “Remember who you are”
Mufasa, ‘The Lion King’
This quote is simple, but that’s exactly what’s great about it and makes it work so perfectly for a caption on Instagram. The Lion King’s effect on the world and pop culture cannot be overstated…
17. “Hakuna matata”
18. “Our lives are determined by opportunities, even the ones we miss”
Benjamin Button, ‘The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button’
Perhaps it’s too deep for your average selfie, but this line from Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) is special and sobering.

Ferris Bueller, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’
An undeniable classic, Ferris Bueller can be as insignificant or significant as you’d like it to be but there’s no debate that this quote from it is special. It’s perfect to put on Instagram early in the day or week to start your followers’ days off right.
20. “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary”
John Keating, ‘Dead Poet’s Society’
Played by the late, great Robin Williams, this one is a spin on a classic and cliché phrase.
