Most things that are politically right are morally wrong
Lupe Fiasco
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 hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners turn us back into beginners, put us up where the winners go, Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow, thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles.

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

The rewards we get by being those weird guys going against the grain to me are way more massive than selling a million billion records. I like climbing mountains or going on undersea dives for whales and stuff like that.

Just listening to Pac, ain't gon' make it stop A rebel in your thoughts, ain't gon' make it halt If you don't become an actor, you'll never be a factor

I don't really care about the GOPs or the Democratic Party. My point is the people, giving the people truth.

I have yet to see someone attack Obama over his report card. A lot of people I talk to from both sides of the fence are like, 'Well, what about this economy? What about these incidents?' There are still no answers except time, but time is the answer for everything.

Hip-hop is just something I actually know how to do. But I always had aspirations to participate in other forms of music.

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.

America is not all white people. It's not all black people. It's not all Mexican people. We together, and we all relate on certain levels, so if you actually scaring people away, they can't relate to what you're saying.
Lupe Fiasco
Everybody has their opinion on what's 'real,' and what's they choose to listen to and their personal preference. Whether they're 2 years old or 200 years old. And people can listen to whatever they want.
Lupe Fiasco
When I started making my own music, I was more about recreating what I was hearing. I noticed that I had some control over what I was saying, and the effects that it's going to have on people. I wanted to focus more on the positive side of things, which are more in tune with my morals and ethics.

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?

I think that American presidents, that position in itself, as well as American foreign policy, it has terrorism in it. CIA agents going to overthrow certain governments - they're using terrorist tactics. They're not going in there like, 'Hey, you wanna have some cake?'

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.

Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.
Lupe Fiasco
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.

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

You ain't got to change the whole world. You just alter it a little bit and you redefine it into something beautiful.
