Quotes about:

  On the outside, you frontin' you lovely.

• Cloned chickens walking around without heads,
  The food is contaminated, the water got lead in it.
  Population control, make the babies sick,
  All these RFID chips, RU-486...

  Controlling your soul, sort of a psychological dictatorship.
  And we are on the front lines,
  Guilty as charged if intellect is a crime.
