Every time you ask yourself where hip-hop's going, ask yourself where you're going; how are you doing?
Mos DefI'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine. You get to a point where you say, 'I will not take it anymore! I'm gonna do something drastic if I stay this depressed. I've got to break out of there!'
Mos DefI want to be necessary and do good works. I ain't here to waste nobody's time, because I don't want you to waste mine.
