Community Quote by Killer Mike

“If I go all the way politicized, I become a zealot who's not allowed to have fun with the people and the community that raised me. But if I go the other way, I become an ignoramus who isn't properly qualified to speak on my community's behalf.” quote by Killer Mike — Download Open image
