I Cannot Afford To Watch Fox News.

I Am A Black Man Dedicated To Expression; Expression Of The Joy And Pride Of Blackness. I Consider Myself Neither Poet, Composer, Or Musician. These Are Merely Tools Used By Sensitive Men To Carve Out A Piece Of Beauty Or Truth That They Hope May Lead To Peace And Salvation.

I Work Hard At It [delivery Of Lyrics], Just Like I Worked Hard At Getting My Masters Degree. It's Not Just Something I Sit Down And Do. You Have To Learn And Keep Learning.

Every Once In A While, You Live Long Enough To Get The Respect That People Didn't Want To Give While You Were Trying To Become A Senior Citizen.

Well The First Thing I Want To Say Is Mandate, My Ass... We've Been Convinced That 26% Of The Registered Voters Is Actually A Mandate. We're All Actors In This I Suppose.

The Way You Get To Know Yourself Is By The Expression On Other People's Faces.
