• The institutions that claim to represent God, when they are not ignored altogether, are treated like other human institutions that have to earn their right to a hearing by the value of what they say, and not by virtue of who is saying it. Today, authority has to earn respect by the intrinsic value of what it says, not by the force of its imposition.

• Now I'm not the type that gets upset,
  Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect.
  But learn this fact: whether white or black,
  I can't be conquered in my style of rap.
  For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools,
  So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool.
  Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on,
  Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.

  Slick Rick

  Revenge, Rap, White

  Song: The Ruler's Back, Album: The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, 1988
