• Infrareds on little people standing with some big heads,
  I was Captain Kirk, walkin' with a black t-shirt.
  LAPD, the nurse asked did my knee hurt?
  I was in pain, little Martians tryin' ta take my brain,
  Hospitals came, detectives wrote down my name.
  I was to blame, my life never been the same.
  A true story; I tell ya, it'll never bore me.
  My classmate died, my other friend named Cory
  Drinkin' 40s, he jumped out the project window,
  Stabbed himself with a yellow number 2 pencil.

  Kool Keith

• Even then, I didn't quite know what to make of it [captain Kirk death]. I was mystified by why I was doing it, why I was so driven to do it, and why it was affecting me like it was. I still don't know what it means. It's a strange singular experience. I don't even know anyone to talk to about it because I don't know anyone who's had that experience.
