This is similar to a well-known Neil deGrasse Tyson quote:

We are in the universe and the universe is in us.

Like a lot of enlightened thinkers, KRS One adheres to the idea that we are indeed the universe experiencing itself – that the distinction between the universe and ourselves is not as far apart as most people think it to be – this idea if taken seriously can really alleviate some of the deep fears we have about death.

Pressure doesn’t view his fans as simply people who enjoy listening to his music but rather people who think in a similar fashion to him and who see the world in a similar lens.

Otherwise – they wouldn’t take enjoyment in his music since his The Hilltop Hoods make music with a message, and if you’re a fan it means you agree at least partially with that message that they put out.

Although Pressure believes that religion inspires people to live a virtuous life and to find hope and meaning in this life, he doubts the veracity of religious beliefs because he believes they are used by power-hungry leaders to control the masses – an example of this is the American political right which is heavily controlled by Evanglical Christians who are very influential in controlling the outcome of political elections.

This is similar to Karl Marx’s famous anti-religious quote:

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.

If the world doesn’t provide us with our alienable rights that we were born to inherit based on the fact that we are human – then we must revolt and protest in order to achieve and obtain what belongs to us.

The Civil Rights Movement is a prime example of an oppressed and dominated people standing up to authoritarian racist powers to take back what is rightfully theirs: their equality.

All men are born equal is a famous quote by Thomas Jefferson recorded in the Declaration of Independence.

It implies that we are born with the same rights – no one is above anyone anyone and hence why all men should be treated equally.

The only thing that may not be equal is our standard of living - which is either inherited or achieved through hard work and success.
