I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan, and I shouldn’t have to run from a black man.

- Kool Moe Dee, “Self-Destruction,” from Stop the Violence All-Stars’ Self Destruction, 1989

The police…I’m givin’ them fits.
A young brother in a Benz legit,
I don’t sell no drugs and take no shit…
Park my ride and the ladies hit.

- Kool Moe Dee, “They Want Money,” Knowledge Is King, 1987

You wanna know my occupation?
I get paid to rock the nation.
I go to work.

- Kool Moe Dee, “I Go To Work,” Knowledge is King, 1989

As I turned around to receive my injection,
I said, ‘Next time I’ll use some protection.’
If I see another girl and I get an erection…
I’m walking in the other direction!

- Kool Moe Dee, “Go See the Doctor,” Kool Moe Dee, 1986
