Famous quotes by Ian Mcewan:

"By measuring individual human worth, the novelist reveals the full enormity of the State's crime when it sets out to crush that individuality."

"It is not the first duty of the novelist to provide blueprints for insurrection, or uplifting tales of successful resistance for the benefit of the opposition. The naming of what is there is what is important."

"You enter a state of controlled passivity, you relax your grip and accept that even if your declared intention is to justify the ways of God to man, you might end up interesting your readers rather more in Satan."

"It is an excellent offer."

"It's just a little dusty valley. There is nothing there. We're going to have to develop the entire site."

"This was a tough decision, but it was driven by our need for higher temperatures. This is not a cost-cutting measure."

"One has to have the courage of one's pessimism."

"Politics is the enemy of the imagination."

"I now bear a kind of stigmata. I am in the computer as having been denied entry to the United States and that is really bad news. They can put things into that computer, but they never take them out."

"By concentrating on what is good in people, by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice, and by asking them to put their faith in the future, socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage."

"In my experience an appreciative letter from a fellow writer means a lot."

"I think of novels in architectural terms. You have to enter at the gate, and this gate must be constructed in such a way that the reader has immediate confidence in the strength of the building."

"I want to live in a place where strangers rush to help someone in distress."

"Scientists do stand on the shoulders of giants, just as do writers. Conversely, in the arts we do make discoveries. We do refine our tools. So I am arguing with, or at least playing with, the idea that art never improves."

"What is it precisely, that feeling of 'returning' from a poem? Something is lighter, softer, larger - then it fades, but never completely."

"I often don't read reviews."

"You could say that all novels are spy novels and all novelists are spy masters."

"My father's drinking was sometimes a problem. And a great deal went unspoken. He was not particularly acute or articulate about the emotions. But he was very affectionate towards me."

"It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in."

"I put it to you that there are no British poets, there are no British novelists. I have heard myself described as one, but I think really I'm an English novelist; there are Scottish poets and Scottish novelists."

Ok, ok, ok

I be in my zone
I be in my zone
I be on my phone
Flexin' in the club
And I'm ridin' on chrome
I be in my zone
I be on, flexin' in my zone
He said he got 20 bricks, stole 'em
Took 'em home
Yeah, hear this, dog, I be on my phone
Driving dirty, rollin' on a swish
I gotta zone
You know 'bout lil' Soulja, he be flexin'
On his phone, drive tart, young and reckless
Your girlfriend riding in my Lexus
Young Dre, 50k, say he's not done
I got that play on, falling down my pocket
Hermes bell with a Louis wallet
It's nothing, we stuntin'
Everybody know Dre getting money
I be on my phone
Catch me in the club and I be in my zone
I be in my zone
I be on my phone, ridin' through the hood
I be flexin' on chrome
I be in my zone
What's going on? Soulja Boy on
If he got 30 bricks tell 'em hear my phone
I hit 30 licks now I'm in my zone
Tattoos on my neck, brought a million now I'm on
We can cash, we be hittin' the gas
We be on that lawn, leave them suckers in the past
I be turned up, turned up to the max
Step outside the club, ordering 50 bottles max
Put it on my card, this is not a
Fuck her 9 to 5, Soulja don't do day jobs
Cashed up on deck, man, we do this all the time
Stacks on deck, boy, stay up on your A
I be on my phone
I be in the club
And I be up in my zone, flexin'
Yeah, I'm in my zone, flexin'
I be on my phone
Driving dirty, riding on chrome
I be in my zone, I'm on
I be in my zone
Got a new home, blowing only strong
Walk inside the Louis store, everything I own
Kush is my cologne, walking here I'm boss
Here I change, everything is on froze
I customize my stones, I'm stunting in my zone
Your girlfriend keep blowing up the Soulja phone
She won't leave me alone, she want the doggie bone
I go so hard, tell all haters to get going
Yeah, I'mma blow, this is not a joke
A honey counting Franklins later crossed the floor
You a hoe, I put that on the phone
Catch me in my city and I'll screw, screw gone
I be in my zone
Catch me in the club and I'm flexin'
Flexin', flexin', flexin'
I be on, I be in my zone
Catch me in the club and I'm flexin'
Flexin', flexin', flexin'
Come on

Chorus
Yo hi tek they still sleepin
As a right we still peakin
They still weakin we adventurous thrill seekin
We will begin new ways of freakin it
It's the dawn of the mc who think before he spit
On mission we intercept your transmission
Bringin exactly what the fans missin
You, bare witness to, the transition like
Give me that microphone, man listen
Yo, i literally
Obliterate mc's who rhymin pitifully
Let's get it straight like degrees of longitude and latitude
Adjust your position like your attitude
Even cats frontin had to move
Now let's begin, while you testin these better men
You get fucked up like it's your first friday as freshman
Letter man on the varsity team, i pipe dream
Make they cream freeze like reindeer caught up in high beams
Yo it seems that they sedative like open wounds and i'm lyrically salty
All your shit is faulty, watch me turn jams into revolutionary parties
Stoppin your heart piece, while we write soliloquies wit sharpies
We stay in the air like aerosol to carry y'all
? over crept in? mc's like jerotol
We men in the mirror y'all, your career is like a metaphor for suffering
When we rush in, beat these niggas like percussion
You ain't touchin nuttin
I give instructions and move on your weak production
Drop that african king shit and the royal flushing
Respect the queen, from straight from bk
Stick like girls' legs when they run the penn relay
Chorus
"talib kweli it's the reflection" "hi-tek"
"when we livin this shit" "out of the 7-18 we meet the 51-3"
[talib kweli]
I blast through your illsuions
Shatterin your shadow as i snatch the light from you
When i want to, confusion is the conclusion you come to
That's the best you could come up wit
When your brain pattern is scattered and that's why you dropped that dumb shit
Click first when we hit next when i'm dispersing
Cursing me like ham cuz i'm original when you're like the king james version
You need a surgeon to put you back together
When your parts is missin like aquarian gospels
We can get more hostile without peace
Believe we balance positivity wit negative
Legal and illegal cuz it's relative
If the law prevent me from being a man, then what's the deal?
In the hour of chaos, my microphone's my black steel
I grip it wit that sure shot feel
Drivin through your mind, hi-tek be on the wheels
We ride up on your heels, talkin back now
You pop more junk than a? thane or bird?
Fallin flat on your face, you got caught trippin off your words
Explain that? simunicy?
You oxy-moron, pimpled faced dummy goin through puberty
Flippin late night through cable channels lookin for nudity
You're junior-high, what could you do to me
Nuttin is new to me but i'm still learnin, what
Hip-hop is in our hearts and we on mission from the start
To leave our mark up on this rock
Too many people is just livin *repeat*
Chorus
[talib kweli]
Listen listen, huh man listen
We intercept the transmission
Bringin exactly what you fans missin
Hi-tek *echoes*
Uh uh, talib kweli yo
Exactly what it's supposed to be yo
None of y'all niggas is close to me, yo
Step back before you get your head cracked
Yo steppin in through set back, i never sweat that
Aiyyo my man c smith is jet-black
That's okay though, aiyyo
I build these niggas up and then i smash em to the ground like play-dough

In this room of darkness I ain't undercover, That won't stop my prowess rubbing off on to another. Elevating higher as my body's moving lower, Now I've reached my element you better move over.
But he doesn't he blocks my way, I try to push past but he wants to play, So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze.
As we erupt in to the room, and hear the sub go boom, A feeling easy to resume, this right here I swear will end too soon. Sink in to the tune, as I inhale the fume, A feeling easy to resume, this right here I swear will end to soon.
My limbs seem to move what the beat dictates to me, I push in to the middle the sound becomes a part of me. Taking me back to that sweet familiarity, Watching my adrenalin rise I feel the eyes on me.
Sip the bottle now don't be slow, Keep up with me as we lose control, Keep up with me as we lose control.

i want to rise from my seat
dont want to be held down
i want to get off the couch
i want to find a new sound
i want to step outside
i want to say im alive
im on a mission, im on a mission
courtesy of a condition
my condition, my condition
is something that you cant see
im just looking for a better way
im on this mission because of my condition
and its the only thing i can see
dont want to try hard to be something
just want to let it come naturally
i can only see one thing and thats
a bright future for me
cause youre my friends i hope you'll
never think again about my intentions on this stage
its not just what i say but its what i believe
and now the only thing i now is get up & go
and find my destiny
im on a mission, im on a mission
courtesy of a condition
ive got a vision, ive got a vision

(Chorus X2)

Your hair's a mess, it's called distressed,
It's the latest fashion don't I know,
Oh where have I come from,
I must've been living under a stone,
Or was I off of this planet,
Was I high on a rocket,
Was the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
Was I spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
I took a pill they said won't kill but that was back in '71,
Oh what do I do now and what's more the point what have I done,
Since I've been off of this planet,
I've been high on a rocket,
And the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I've been spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
I've been off of this planet,
I've been high on a rocket,
And the G-force pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I've been spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
Off of this planet and into outer space,
And it's been two thousand years,
It's been two hundred decades,
The second millennium's now the twenty first century,
Time don't wait for no-one at all,
Climbed in the Merc, set off for work just like I did every day,
Where I climbed into my rocket, oh yeah, and they fired me, off into space,
I was off of this planet,
I was high on a rocket,
And the G-force was pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I was spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,
Off of this planet,
High on a rocket,
G-force was pushing my eyes out of the socket,
I'm spinning through orbit,
Hurtling through space,
Off on a mission and out of this place,

To me twelve months is a long, long time.
Someone suddenly changed their mind,
You were sendin' out,
Now it's just too late.
But I won't lose one night of sleep,
Worrying about what was mean't to be.
Yeah, 'cause leavin'
Is just a reason to celebrate.
I'm on a mission, I got a cause.
I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar,
An' the way I'm thinkin',
It oughta be against the law.
Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,
I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time.
I'm on a mission,
And it's all about forgettin' tonight.
Forty-hour week and I'm out the door,
Seems like all I've been workin' for,
Is that time when I can finallyjust cut loose.
I got a few good friends and they're waitin' to go.
Just gimme some time to change my clothes.
Till Monday mornin', there ain't nothin' I gotta do.
I'm on a mission, I got a cause.
I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar,
An' the way I'm thinkin',
It oughta be against the law.
Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,
I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time.
I'm on a mission,
And it's all about forgettin' tonight, that's right.
Ain't worried 'bout a five-day, no sleep, business week, no escape, workin' girl blues.
Yeah, I'm a-just doin' what any other modern-day, American woman might do.
I'm on a mission, I got a cause.
I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar,
An' the way I'm thinkin',
It oughta be against the law.
Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,
I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time.
I'm on a mission,

[c-murder talking]
You know you done fucked up?
You know you done fucked up, don't ya?
Nigga you really fucked up.
We on a muthafuckin mission.
I'm ridin dirty with my tru muthafuckas.
Fiend, steady mobbin', c-murder in this bitch.
Retaliation is a must.
Dumpin rounds on my muthafuckin adversaries.
[c-murder]
Nigga, nigga ridin dirty for revenge
With my friends, I'm on a caper
Ready to kill 'em, if I see 'em
Fuck alarm, hold my paper
I'm a rider, so I leave 'em where I left 'em
When I creep, niggas sleep
And they ain't restin til they deep up in the concrete
Jungle with them slangers, with them bangers and them hustlers
With them killers, smokin woo and makin deals with my tru niggas
Fiend had some yay, so we flipped it on the block
Steady mobbin' flew from cali so we put 'em up on the spot
Servin dub sacks and flippers, fifty shots and quarter bags
Raisin riches no matter week, servin keys out paper bags
And hustlin hard, countin money by the sack
Watch my back, niggas jack
Sweet revenge, counter attack up in my 'lac
Sippin hennesy and chronic, I'm the tweak for some magic
Rollin the window, nigga, it's him so pistol playin bout to have it
Fuckin bullets gots no name nigga you name is on this one
Ridin dirty with my tru bitches so nigga on a mission
[chorus:] (lines echo in background) x 4
In on a mission, ridin dirty with my tru thugs
Retaliation, dumpin rounds, with no love
[fiend]
Fiend, my reason to gunplay
Loadin my chopper right up the one way
Wishin we facin a dead end
So I could show how this gun spray
Just one damn word, that's all I desire
So I could bend these niggas back like chicken wire
Spittin fire, mobbin, s'on when them bullets get to pourin
(..? ..) get my adrenalin goin
I ain't ignorin, no problems, no worries baby
I severed the crusher, and buried my (..? ..)
Over the dresser, fiend the trigga my lesser
Gon test ya, with a season to kill
And catch me celebratin across the battlefield
Loco, this is the deal, let's put the gun
To the small of his neck, we got caught up and blast
Until there's nothing left, boy
I thought some more niggas kept, what? what?
Cause I ain't facin prison
Exercising my right to exorcism
Completed my mission, huh?
By lettin the land just listen
Cause they the reason my lil homie ain't livin
So, we on a mission
Chorus x 4
[steady mobbin' 1]
(..? ..) the cleaner, alias saddam, nigga
(what's up there? ) cold cop killers
Now it's really on (what's up fool? )
Being crooked, we do it dirty, (we doing it!)
C-murder and fiend (there they go!)
We dump the fifty round magazine
Locin and mobbin, til it's clean (make sure it's clean)
Hooked up with the colonel, and the billy, cause I need cream
Fifteen five, made twenty five, six hummer size (nigga!)
Muthafuckas died, (nigga!) all in one night (they die!)
[steady mobbin' 2] (a lot of these lines are overlapped by screams,
Gunshots, etc. hard to understand...)
Pulled the trigga on my nigga (not my nigga, damn!)
As the forty caliber shell, blew up in the neck
Twice in the head, he was dead 'fore his body hit the ground
(damn dog, don't go nigga!)
Bitches scream, nigga (..? ..)
Pull up next to the bodies, I was runnin
My dog's head was blew off
I'm bustin hella (? ) (buck, buck, buck)
Hit the driver's side window, as they crash into a pole
(..? ..), with a few left in the clip
Some for the driver, the passenger

To me twelve months is a long, long time.

Ain't worried 'bout a five-day, no sleep, business
week, no escape, workin' girl blues.
Yeah, I'm a-just doin' what any other modern-day,
American woman might do.
I'm on a mission, I got a cause.
I'm gonna hit every rockin' little honky-tonk bar,
An' the way I'm thinkin',
It oughta be against the law.
Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find,
I'm on a head-on collision with a real good time.
I'm on a mission,

My friend's on a mission,
He;s gonna make 'em pay,
But it's all just for nothing,
He'll do it anyway,
I don't care where you go,
You shouldn't be afraid,
I don't care what you do if it pays.
Thirsty like a diabetic,
Stupid like a pet,
Too much television,
And lack of rest,
I don't care who hit who first,
I couldn't care any less,
I don't care what you do if it's best.

(Good morning, Boys
We just received details of a plan by unfriendly elements
to undermine the efforts of the hip-hop generation.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it,
is to overcome these elements using any methods necessary.
As always, should any of your crew be caught or killed,
the producer will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Good luck!)
3-2-1, time's expired
Guns for hire, we're on fire
Our mission, printed on paper
We begin a brand new caper
With order to take the throne
Servin suckers because we've shown
A knack to crack and attack the wack
Mr. Ed, Precise and Exact
Deliverin the goods like we should
If you could I know you would
Try to slide, run and hide
Here's a token, take a ride
Cause your time is up, this is our time
Our record and our rhyme
So listen to what we say
We're gonna pave the way
We're on a mission
(Your mission)
(Overcome these elements)
(Any methods necessary)
Set the scene, somewhere in Queens
It's do or die, no inbetweens
W Boys, lined up like cattle
Prime time for a battle
They're here, full of fear
From far and near
It's time, time to rhyme
Word for word, line for line
Them for theirs, us for ours
Coalition of the superpowers
So step back, let us take care
Of business, a nightmare
Is occurring, I'm referring
To the bruises, to the blurring
Eyes that you possess
Yes, you can guess
We're on a mission
(Hip-hop generation)
(Any methods necessary)
(Overcome these elements)
(The producer will disavow any knowledge of your actions)
A breeze, men on their knees
No one competes with rhymes like these
Some thought but they were wrong
They just prolong their destiny
Their date with fate
But it's too late
Cause the battle's won, we've won it
Impossible? We've done it
Mission accomplished, the new kings
In your ears it rings:
We're on a mission
(Hip-hop generation)
(The producer will disavow any knowledge of your actions)
(Hip-hop generation)
(Your mission)
(Any methods necessary)
(Overcome these elements)
(Any methods necessary)

Now it's about five in the morning
And I can hear the birds outside crowing
Then I heard somebody at the front door
Claiming they was Crazy Horse and Geronimo
Said they got the kak suits creased down
With the wagtop six foot to da ground
I said what's up
They said wahts up litefoot homie
Swear to god those fools knew everything about me
Then I got to thinking the stuff that going on
Then my mind started singing
I think they came from the dead
Turned around and saw my body that was still in bed
Then I really started tripping
They said relax homeboy we going on a mission
So hurry up and getcha gear
And while you at it two black hoodies with some ski masks
[Chorus: x2]
Rollin in da hood
Ina six flow dip
(1little, 2 little, 3 crazy Indians)
Rollin in da hood
Ina wagtop on a mission
(1 little, 2 little, 3 crazy Indians)
Rollin thru the hood with my heroes
And at the same time we coming through
And I can see the golden eagle through the rear view
Geronimo told me that I was chosen
And that would lead a way for the children
Spread the word with my music
Then Crazy Horse said it's a gift son use it
Schooling me about the old days
Back when there was pimped out Chevrolets
How they would fight for they life
Fight for they people
Kill the pale face that was evil
Now you gotta take a stand
And the day that you do is the day you become a man
Make a mane for yourself in this life time
Then you get a true piece of mind
[Chorus x2]
Then the 64' turned in to a caddy
Now I gotta find that big daddy
He said that Frost got that remedy poppin
And with you and him it ain't no stopping
Then we hit the cross roads the other way
First to you now we was in L.A.
On the east side of town
And when I looked around me
Everything was brown
Except for the blue kaks
And white T-shirts creased
And them I felt peace
[Spanish rapping]
And walk with the spirit in your soul
Just like Crazy horse and Geronimo
Next thing I knew I was in my room
And the clock read 10:52 D**N

[Q Da Kid:]
First Kane did it

This is history bein made all over
Just when they thought that it was all over
They hatin expect me to fail
Expect me to lose don't expect me to sell
Well hell I got breakin news

But I'm way too creative to sit
Innovative I prayed and I proved it
I'm doin things that only most can imagine
[JD:]

I'm on a mission to get mine
I won't stop stop til everybody knowwwssss
[Q Da Kid:]
It mighta took me a minute but now I'm in it
Fly women my style ain't mimic
I'm so innoventive got the mind of a co-chemist
I stand out so fly so emit
A giant in the game tryin to gain scrimmage
They say I'm arrogant got a vain image
Instead a wishin me luck
They tryin to figure out ways to finish me up
But this is my time you dudes menace is up
I'm out grindin whoever try to call my bluff
Just holler at me via e-mail or I-chat
Never ran never will I fights back
I'm better skilled for the job and I like that
They got their grill face on but inspite that
Momma said you gotta go out and get it son
She can't drive but a Benz I'm a get her one
Just for the hell of it to say that she got it
What they sayin is irrelevant I'm soul surviving that's big

[Q Da Kid:]
They say hip-hops dead but I beg to differ
Took a pit stop who woulda ever figured
That I be here getting guap up never da quitter
Slowin down is one thing that I never considered

I'm on a mission to get mine

It's tough for me to make a move
And I know what I gotta do
Cause I got everything to prove
I got a plan I'm sticking to
The word is that I'm over doubt
But I don't let it get me down
I ain't nobody's push around
If they could only see me now
There's only one thing on my mind
And I am running out of time
I'm coming girls, so get out of the way
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I'm stronger than ever
I'm gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do
I'm gunna lay it on the line
I won't give up without a fight
Cos I can see the finish line
Wont stop until I think your mine
So read the writing on the wall
I'm ready and I'm standing tall
Some people think they know it all
I guess I'll have to show 'em all
There's only one thing on my mind
And I am running out of time
I'm coming girls, so get out of the way
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I'm stronger than ever
I'm gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do
Stand aside cos I'm on a mission
I'm on fire, there's no competition
You can't blame me I got intuition
And I never miss a trick just like a magician
You don't need cash, you don't need permission
If you think I'm scared, you must be tripping
Foot on gas, Key in ignition
Can't stop now cos I'm on a mission
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Nothing can stop me, I'm stronger than ever
I'm gunna see this through
I am a woman on a mission whoa
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta
I never give up, I never give up, I never give up
I'm on a mission
I never give up, I never give up,
I'm gunna see this through
I never give up, I never give up, I never give up
I'm on a mission
