I just need the junkies and the liars and the thieves, I need the pimps, prostitutes and pushers out in the streets. That's where I'm seeking God, cause that's where He found me.

More quotes by Killer Mike
As entertainers, you're afraid [about] loss of income - but if other people start going to jail for free speech, then we've lost this great thing that America is, and I'd like to keep that.
Killer Mike
Most rappers are black men. If you're a black man, you owe something to the community that you came from. If you're rapping about the community that you came from, and you're romanticizing parts of it for the entertainment of people who don't look like you, you certainly owe something to the community.
Killer Mike
When Bernie Sanders came along, and I liked his tweets and I read more about him, researched him more, I decided I like him and his policy, even more than just I like another guy in the Democratic Party, I really believed in it. And when you believe in something, you get out and work for it.
Killer Mike
The older I get, the more of an anarchist I become, and I don't mean in a punk rock way.
Killer Mike
What I am is an encourager. I encourage all who deserve freedom to fight for that. And if you can't win by yourself, then find other people to be in solidarity with.
Killer Mike
I would just encourage everybody to just talk your opinion more, allow other people and fight for other people to [express theirs].
Killer Mike
People tend to think of gentrification in terms of race because it's presented that way, and I think it's presented that way because in poor cities that's what's really going on. Beyond that, I think it's presented that way as a way for the people who are really pushing it to make it just a black problem, so people don't care.
Killer Mike
I can't expect rappers to be politicized when Americans are not socially motivated enough to care about their own lives and public policy as much as they were even 20 years ago. But I'm compelled to make the music I make regardless.
Killer Mike
I`m lucky in that in my character in hip hop is me. I`m Michael Render. My character is Killer Mike. But the truth that I sing in my raps align themselves with the policy of Bernie Sanders.
Killer Mike
With each new album: I need to kill the last version of me.
Killer Mike
When you say you want to talk about racial justice, that`s not the same as I want to do something about racial justice. Saying I want to hold police accountable is doing something. Saying that I want to take money out of politics, big money, is doing something.
Killer Mike
God really exists, I tell you like this: It resides inside. And anybody tell you different, Just selling you religion, Tryin' to keep your ass in line.
Killer Mike
Being an adult, you've already suffered enough from your own mistakes, and the world, to come to this as a humble human being. So it's not like, I'm going to do the right thing because it advances me, as much as it's like, I'm going to do the right thing because this puts me closest to the dream I had as a 10-year-old kid.
Killer Mike
I have a 20-year-old son, I have a 12-year-old son and I'm so afraid for them.
Killer Mike
I don't trust the church or the government, and anything the church or the government tells me I assume to be a lie or a conspiracy, until proven true.
Killer Mike
My grandmother taught me, you believe in a politician, you get out there and work for them. So, that`s what I`ve been doing.
Killer Mike
I'm just seeing as I grow older, and hopefully wiser, that a lot of things I see from a race perspective are class problems too, so I should be advocating for all.
Killer Mike
I`ve never been a passive political supporter. My grandmother, Betty Kleitz , god bless her soul, was from Tuskegee, Alabama, took parts in the civil rights movement and after that became of course like a lot of blacks in the South a staunch Democrat.
Killer Mike
I love Dr. King, but violence might be necessary Cause when you live on MLK and it gets very scary, You might have to pull your AK, send one to the cemetery.
Killer Mike
I like making mini-movies rather than just three-minute, place-the-champagne-here-for-sponsorship videos.
