We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.
Nobody's going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?
Life is continued work. It's constant learning. The whole concept of retirement I don't even buy into. We should constantly be working. Maybe not physically working, but we could be spiritually, emotionally working toward bettering ourselves and bettering the lives of others around us.
We should always be aspiring to know more, and to better ourselves, and to improve ourselves. To improve ourselves, because that's how we improve the world around us, by working within us.
Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of T.V., and you grow up on false images of what love truly is. We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, about it's not usually that way. Then you learn love is something deeper and purer in form.
If they only showed Love, they would own love.
Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, back stabbers do this
I'm a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That's what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.
Wow, this is so amazing. I thank God. This is crazy because this is hip-hop music.
I have a couple of all-time favorites: Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation', it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.
I had to learn the hard way some really important life lessons. There was really no one there to say, don't do this or don't do that.
I keep letting you back in,how can I explain myself,as painful as this thing has been,I just can't be with no one else
