The way music reflects real life, the way that painstakingly, over the years, what I have said is really a metaphor for what's happening to America. It used to be about, or tried to be at the very beginning, about what was right. It has stopped being what was right for America; it started being about what was right for companies that are in control.

Changing the course of destiny, so I'm strapped with weaponry cause the government don't give a f-k about protecting me.

I wasn't always a revolutionary, I used to live life like a criminal even though I was going through high school or college, or the fact that I was smart, had no bearing on that. People can have intelligence all the way but have no direction. Not all criminals are idiots.

If your religion hasn't made you a better person, then it has failed you as a religion.

We're rhyming; we're carrying the banner representing hardcore hip-hop to the death.
