Bang, push, shake me, you can't get through me
I've built a fortress up around my mind
Tell you just how the meaning works out
I close my thrill, enjoy a life of crime
I don't mind, no, I don't mind cause nothing's real
And I see you in the corner of my dream.
"Hip-hop is a reality that transcends the boundaries of the world of music and exists as itself on this planet. It is a cultural movement - a nation where we smoke till we numb and kill niggas for recreation. We the dick rappers that all about the money, no, sellout paradox perpetrators who put the high in high-fashion and keep our street clothes matching. Hip-hop - the ones who take the weight and address the black youth in their current mindstate! Mind you, find you finding us no more misognystic and violent than the society that we are born into. Hip-hop is the quality of a feeling at a particular time, it's a frame of mind, it's a mood, the prevailing emotional tone of black youth today! Mood music, a lush arrangement of popular sounds to induce a mood of relaxation. See, to me hearing emcees rock over beats, that shit is soothing. The current mood of hip-hop is stagnant and not moving. So stop it, motherfuckers! There's more to life than companies deciding what's the latest topic, you suckers! We're killing each other and we're poisoning the seeds before they grow. Destroy my seed and you've got to go. I'm Talib Kweli and we livin' this shit. Changing the mood of the entire industry."
