You tell the mayor he has a very simple choice. Lose the election, or fund my vision.

I wanna be your man, Mylene. I know you like me. And I like you so much, I can’t hardly breathe. I like you so much, I feel like I got thunder and lightning inside of me. You make me nervous. But you also make me calm. Real calm. Calm almost like how God must be calm, you know, Mylene? Calm from…
I ain’t no hard rock like you, but when it comes to my girl, I’m all heart. I’m do or die. So, kill me all you want to. Stab your hate into my love. You might kill me, but you’ll never beat me. ‘Cause I got love, and you’ll probably never even know what that is.
I’m always happy, Stan. Sadness is for suckers.
You truly are as fine as wine, and so divine. You know I had to make you mine, no matter the time. So, I scaled that mountaintop to get that record dropped, just to see the clouds part, as your pretty lips did the same, hoping, one day, they’d utter my name.

We all have sins. All of us are searching for forgiveness.
If you wanna be a true DJ, conquer your street. Conquer your park. Conquer your neighborhood, conquer your borough. Conquer your city. And the world is yours. So, battle.

It’s the friendships we break more so than the friendships we make that delineate the intelligent leader.
The young people aren’t the problem. We’re the solution.
Manhattan, Bronx, disco, the get down, moving up, moving out. We made it this far. Just keep loving me and I promise it’s gonna all be all right. ‘Cause all we gotta do is love each other, right?
