There’s no such thing as true altruism. And I make my music for myself, too.

I don’t hide the fact that I’m unstable. So, on a personal level, I can’t be responsible for saving you. I can continue to do what I do, but in the end it’s up to you.

Sometimes I do go down that path, asking myself why the hate. But then I remember, all new things are distrusted. And anything that challenges the status quo is feared. I’m not sorry I’m not Mac Miller (no shots).

Before the revolution, before the downfall of every empire, there is a breaking point at which the polarization of rich and poor, haves and havenots, 1%ers and 99%ers has become too extreme to tolerate. We are getting closer. Just ask #Occupy.

Things are heated everywhere, and explosions are commonplace. But only in AmeriKKKa is it a cherished Melting Pot that’s boiling over… Ask Wisconsin.

This thing here is a blessing and a curse. It gave me a reason to live. But it tortures me too.
