When You Step Outside Of School And Have To Teach Yourself About Life, You Develop A Different Relationship To Information. I've Never Been A Purely Linear Thinker. You Can See It In My Rhymes. My Mind Is Always Jumping Around, Restless, Making Connections, Mixing And Matching Ideas, Rather Than Marching In A Straight Line. That's Why I'm Always Stressing Focus. My Thoughts Chase Each Other From Room To Room In My Head If I Let Them, So Sometimes I Have To Slow Myself Down.

One Of The Reasons Inequality Gets So Deep In This Country Is That Everyone Wants To Be Rich. That's The American Ideal. Poor People Don't Like Talking About Poverty Because Even Though They Might Live In The Projects Surrounded By Other Poor People And Have, Like, Ten Dollars In The Bank, They Don't Like To Think Of Themselves As Poor.

People Who Don't Know You, You Don't Know Their Motives. They Smile At You All Day, "oh, That's Great. You've Done It Again! You're The Greatest!" And That's Not Good For An Artist.

Life Is For Living, Not Living Uptight, See Ya Somewhere Up In The Sky.
