The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?
Mos Def
Image
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.
Mos Def
Image
I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.
Mos Def
Image
Everything's got space between it, the planets, trees, your eyes. Your eyes get too close together, it's a whole different world. You can lose perspective.
Mos Def
Image
I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.
Mos Def
Image
I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.

Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.

Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: The million other straws underneath it.

I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.

Live now for the promise of the Infinite

You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.

You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day.
Mos Def
Image
Focused. I'm a hustler. And my hustle is trying to figure out the best ways to do what I like without having to do much else.
Mos Def
Image
With guys I revere, like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X, their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed, you know?
Mos Def
Image
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
Mos Def
Image
And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble, But I disregarded detour signs, And did not stop til you was mine. I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.' Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps. Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'

Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.

Fame is like getting across the street. It's like, if there's nothing to be across the street for, it's a pointless destination. It's like, I gotta get across the street, man! I gotta be there! I gotta be there! Then you get across the street and you're like, Yeah I'm here! And then, that's it. Fame doesn't make you particularly happy.

If it's just fame for the sake of being famous, no one even cares about you - and you don't even care about yourself because you're like, This is so ridiculous.
