All the things that are worth doing, take time.
Mos Def

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

Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.

Mos Def
Image
The new moon rode high in the crown of the metropolis. Shinin', like Who on top of this?
Mos Def

Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
Mos Def

There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.
Mos Def

My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
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.'

I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.
