• This is business: they don't care about your lyrics;
  The better you sell, the better future for their children.
  Controversy sells, so they support conflict,
  Makes more progress, means more profit.
  An artist gets killed, they say they're 'so sorry,'
  Meanwhile, they tell you the date of his next project.
  What a life...death made them more profit:
  Record companies get paid for your drama.

• Rappers hate each other, not the labels that got rich,
  Don't care about culture, they only want profit.
  If your album sell slow, bet you'll get dropped quick;
  Q-Tip warned us: the industry's toxic.
  For reference, check out BDP's Sex and Violence.

• They claim we're products from the bottom of Hell,
  But the black is back, and it's bound to sell.

• 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.

• ...Cops just surrounding me with pistols everywhere.
  They put me in the backseat of their car handcuffed,
  Pushed out them chests like they're big rough and tough.
  A cop come and said 'You'll never sell your guns now.'
  I said 'It doesn't matter, you'll sell them anyhow.
  You take the guns from me, you sell them for a fee;
  Anyway you put it, they'll get in the city!'

• In medieval times, the Church used to sell 'indulgences' for money. This amounted to paying for some number of days' remission from purgatory, and the Church literally (and with breathtaking presumption) issued signed certificates specifying the number of days off that had been purchased. . . . And of all its money-making rip-offs, the selling of indulgences must surely rank among the greatest con tricks in history. . . .

• As time passes on
  I turn the next page
  To discover a new me
  while I continue to age.
  I may no longer be
  Who I was long ago
  But I still can matter -
  That much I know.
  With a new set of tools
  I have gathered from time -
  I keep looking forward
  To more mountains to climb.
  My best is not over
  As the skeptics might say -
  I just learn how to conquer
  In a much wiser way.
  So don't sell me short -
  I am not nearly done -
  I CAN STILL MATTER -
  I've only just begun.

• To be honest, when I was writing these stories a million years ago, I never thought about movies at all one way or another. It would have seemed almost miraculous for these things to be movies someday. To me, they were just comic books that I hoped would sell so I could keep my job.

• We've been trying to sell cyclists of all ages and abilities on very detailed and demanding education and training programs designed to make them more like motorists. Bicyclists have shown they don't want this. What cyclists repeatedly tell us they do want is more safe places to ride, and it is time we listened to that message.
