I listen to the Roots quite a bit. They're quite a lot different than your average rap group, whether it be because they actually play instruments or that they rarely have any songs that glamorize the thug lifestyle or treating women as anything other than equals. Anyway, there's a part of a song they wrote I really like...
"I tell you one lesson I learned
If you want to reach something in life
You ain't gonna get it unless
You give a little bit of sacrifice and...
Ooh, sometimes before you smile you got to cry
You need a heart that's filled with music
If you use it you can fly, if you want to be high"
