• With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed.

• But whats it all worth, cant take it when you under this earth
  Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
  They just rob your grave, Id rather be alive and paid
  Before my numbers called, historys made
  Somell fall, but I rise, thug or die
  Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
  To rob steal or kill, Im wondering why
  Its a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
  Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
  Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

  Nas
