QUOTABARZ

“We wow the world with black magnificence / A symphony for the divine and we the instruments / Black innocence.” – COMMON

“Come look into the eyes of a man named Gucci / Got me peeping out the blinds like Malcolm with the uzi / The government, the church, and the world is so polluted / They callin’ me a criminal and I’m a revolution.” – GUCCI MANE

“I confess / I’ve been part of the problem / As of lately, I’m trying to solve ’em / I sold dope and I still talk the jargon / Just like Malcolm ‘fore the X was on him.” – PUSHA T
