Democracy Quote by Eddie Rabbitt
“You have these rap groups talking about 'Fight The Power' and that kind of stuff. What do they mean by that? Fight democracy? Fight the government, the most freest Superpower government in the world? What they need to fight is what's holding them back from getting educated and moving along in life.”
