You reached your level, you don't want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin' with the Panthers, we were askin' in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin' are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn't be angry!?

It was hell, hugging my Mama from a jail cell.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'

Many dreams is what we had and plenty wishes.

One day I'm gonna bust, blow up on this society, why did you lie to me, I couldn't find a trace of humanity.

My music is not for everyone. It's only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It's not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it's spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It's like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I'm not saying 'We shall Overcome.' I'm saying that we are overcome.

Take a look at my family, a different father every weekend.
