• Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them,
  Others try to block the memories and just delete them.
  But I keep 'em as a reminder they're not killing me,
  And I thank God for teaching me humility.
  Son, remember when you fight to be free
  To see things how they are and not how you like em to be.
  Cause even when the world is falling on top of me,
  Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy.
  Knowing what's wrong doesn't imply that you right,
  And it's another when you suffer to apply it in life.
  But I'm no rookie...
  And I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy.

• The military ain't there for the people's protection,
  They're just there to protect an investment.
  That's why people get arrested, electrocuted, molested,
  Connected streets are infested with those tired of protesting.
  Traumatized children grown in guerrilla garrisons,
  9/11 generations pale in comparison.
  And you will learn a lesson repeated through history:
  That no matter what you think, occupation is not victory.

• If we can sell out a venue that's just as big as this in Omaha, if we can sell out DePaul in Chicago tomorrow, which looks like it's going to happen for 1100 or 1200 people, then obviously everyone will know that we can affect between 700 to 1000 people at a time in damn near every city in America, then I think that's a good start. It also tells people, and gives them an example, how independent hip-hop is able to do this without gigantic corporate support.
