Mos Def

I don't wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don't get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn't interested in that. ↗

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift. ↗

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture. ↗

I get reminded a lot of the time that my life is a little bit different, but I'm just trying to keep it as regular as possible because I like it that way. ↗

I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that. ↗

I never had any ambitions of being a movie star or anything like that, but you know, this is nice. ↗

I was taught when there's somethin' you can change around keep quiet, you got nothin' to complain about. ↗

I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is. ↗
