I think every revolutionary act is an act of love. Every song that I've written, it is because of my desire to use music as a way to empower and re-humanize people who are living in a dehumanizing setting. The song is in order to better the human condition.
Brothers and sisters, our democracy has been hijacked. Brothers and sisters, all electoral freedoms in this country are over so long as it's controlled by corporations. Brothers and sisters, we are not going to allow these streets to be taken over by the Democrats or the Republicans.

Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but that's the only way you can do anything really good.
Other people's successes are good news - for them and for you. Good for you because they show you a way to go.

Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will be a success story, and I promise you that all the forces of the universe will unite to come to your aid; you might not feel today or for a while, but the longer you wait the bigger the prize.
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
