I always preach that you have to be active as a citizen no matter what, and some people just voting as an excuse not to do anything.

We have to make the physical music a little more valuable instead of just having a download link and a bunch of songs you downloaded from some torrent site. People try to make the music value-less, and I don't think we're going to stop that train, but the one thing that they can't devalue are things that are in the outside world.

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence

Know the weapons of the weak, kill weakness of the heart and never fall asleep.

I think there's a lot of the hip-hop crowd behind Barack Obama because he's a black man. Honestly, I'm rooting for Hillary because race is only going to go so far. All the presidents are men at the end of the day.

I have people who want to pull me into specific projects in the community based on my music and on the mixtapes. It's like, it's the truth but I'm not trying to preach to you. Because who am I to say what's really right or wrong, or whether what I say is going to change anything? I don't take it too seriously it's really whimsical.

I want to make music as good as Radiohead, as good as Coldplay. I can make hip-hop as good as anybody.

World is not designed for you to win it's designed to be played. It's designed for you to play your position until a certain point, when you get a chance to actually do some good, make a statement, get on your soapbox and say something.

That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity my index of success is happiness.

You would never know if you could ever be, If you never try, you would never see.

The economical policies that are instigated really makes you think that the American government is a bunch of evil bastards. So just because you're black, you're still representing that government, and when Obama came into office he enacted the same policies that we would critique other presidents for.
Lupe Fiasco
Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.

Fear is such a weak emotion that’s why I despise it
Lupe Fiasco
I don't mind payin' for the police and for streets and sanitation, or road work, bridges, trains, food subsidies and welfare. But I don't wanna pay for bombs to fight proxy wars in the middle of nowhere against enemies in the night.

I look at people like Picasso and Da Vinci and Escher and Miles Davis, and they'll write or paint that one definitive masterpiece of maybe 50 that they have that's really trying to go outside the box, trying to do something that's tough. And then when you accomplish it, you look back and go, 'Yeeaaaah - masterpiece.'

I don't really care about the GOPs or the Democratic Party. My point is the people, giving the people truth.
Lupe Fiasco
Sometimes I wish I never found the Internet. Sometimes I regret getting a laptop and Wi-Fi for logging into the Internet because it is such a distraction. If you have any addictive personality, the Internet will magnify it.
Lupe Fiasco
You ain't got to change the whole world. You just alter it a little bit and you redefine it into something beautiful.
Lupe Fiasco
What I've learned is not to take anybody's advice. If you rely solely on your fans, it sets you up for the downfall on the industry side and if you rely on what your label is saying, it will disconnect you from your fans.
Lupe Fiasco
Why kill you when I can just not teach you and get the same results?
