• What's when you rap and don't appreciate the art?
  What's when you sell out just to get a start?
  What's when you make bullshit just for the charts?
  What's when you rap, but it's not from the heart?
  What's when you're hardcore, then you turn pop?
  When you steal ideas to get props?
  When you sell out to be on top?
  What's when you front like you're hard, but you're not?
  That's a gimmick.

• Ronald Reagan was an actor. Not at all a factor, Just an employee of the country's real masters. Just like the Bushes, Clinton and Obama, Just another talkin' head tellin' lies on teleprompters. If you don't believe the theory, then argue with this logic: Why did Reagan and Obama both go after Gaddafi? We invaded sovereign soil, goin' after oil Takin' countries as a hobby paid for by the oil lobby, Same as Iraq and Afghanistan. And Ahmadinejad sayin' they comin' for Iran.
