rap games chess-game
No matter what the name, we're all the same pieces in one big chess game.
grateful each-day be-grateful
Reflect each day on all you have to be grateful for and you will receive more to be grateful for.
Money is created by a machine... but you can't really create respect with a machine.
rap government hip-hop
I got a letter from the government the other day I opened and read it...it said they were suckers.
earth
The minute I get swelled up about something, something has always brought me back down to earth...
people being-positive mountain
Being positive is like going up a mountain. Being negative is like sliding down a hill. A lot of times, people want to take the easy way out, because it's basically what they've understood throughout their lives.

Every time something tries to create respect with a machine it crumbles!

Culture is this thing that we can exchange among ourselves as human beings to knock aside our differences and build upon our similarities. Cultural exchange is the ultimate exchange.
people different culture
When culture is created in boardrooms with a panel of six or seven strategists for the masses to follow, to me that is no different than an aristocracy. It's not created from the people in the middle of the streets, so to speak. It is created from a petri dish for the sake of making money, and it is undermining the longevity of the culture.

Try to do your best to look people in the eye and talk to them without a gadget being in between you all the time.

Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding don't come out of the microwave. You got to keep moving forward because the evil doesn't sleep.

I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that's where the love came from.
guy world constitution
Americans are not sharp. You can be sharp in your own area, I guess, but in this world you gotta be conscious of everybody else in the world too. You just can't be drunken with constitution and hear, okay we're gonna do this and then you hear well, we're gonna go kill this guy 'cause he's a terrorist and you keep gettin' it.
