My romantically favorite era is 78, 79 listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 4, the live tapes, echo chamber and break beats.

Once you understand that there's a spiritual math, add soul to the science and subtract the riff-raff. 24-7-365, cause 9 to 5 ain't alive.

I stayed away from drugs, I never smoked a pipe. When I wanna get high, I smoke the mic. I never did white lines, I only write lines, and I ain't sniffin' nothing but the vapors from hype rhymes.

Any man without a woman is incomplete, and vice-versa she's obsolete.

I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan, and I shouldn't have to run from a black man.

Getting high off life is more than enough, and peer pressure ain't peer pressure when a boy is tough.

I didn't know at the time that the energy that I was giving off was like a battle Emcee.
