People search through the rubble for a suitable hussle
Some people using their noodle
Some people using their muscle
Some people put it all together make it fit like a puzzle”

I try
Albums, The Beautiful Struggle (2004)

Like slaves on a ship talking about who's got the flyest chain”

Africa Dream (track 8)
Albums, Reflection Eternal (2000)

“Hip-Hop's last hope like Obi-Wan Kenobi
Through your television I'm shining light like a train
Comin out like earthworms when it rains, bringing it
like the C. I. A. be bringing in crack cocaine bailing out of planes
with the George Bush connections, I push Reflection
like I'm selling izm, like a dealer building the system
Supply and the demand it's all just capitalism
Niggaz don't sell crack cause they like to see blacks smoke
Niggaz sell crack cause they broke”

“Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
Over money and religion theres more blood that spills
Like the wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
Whats the deal?”

Thieves in the Night (track 12)
Albums, Blackstar (1998)

“We played against each other like puppets, swearing you got pull
When the only pull you got is the wool over your eyes
Getting knowledge in jail like a blessing in disguise
Look in the skies for god, what you see besides the smog
Is broken dreams flying away on the wings of the obscene.”

Respiration (track 11)
