We was just young guys who wanted to change. we got tired of doin' this same everyday bullshit that we was doin', and we all felt like we had dreams o' bein' a big star. you know, as far as with myself, i never really took it that serious as bein' a star. i only took it that serious as bein' a emcee, which is two different things. you know what i mean?

More From Raekwon

I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.
Lonely Pain Rain
I always write to the moment. i've always been that kind of emcee. i don't wanna come in with all the paperwork and all o' that or whatever. that's good when you just an emcee from off the block that really don't have to work as hard as the next man. but when, you know... y'all make me write like this, from, i guess, me makin' a classic and everybody callin' my stuff classic material - that makes me have to work ten times harder. but a lot o' times things just happen at the moment for me: spur o' the moment. that's just how it goes sometimes.

People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.

Jesus Mean Kids
I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.

It's funny when i hear people complain - particularly about the most fabulous parts of being a designer, like when you're getting ready to work on a show. i don't even know that i'm tired. i could stay up for six days straight! no drugs, no coffee, no nothing. i'm just so excited.

We serve god by serving our fellow man; kids are suffering from malnutrition. people are going to the fields hungry. if you are a christian, we are tired of being mistreated.
Christian Tired Kids
I have this demon who wants me to run away screaming if i am going to be flawed, fallible. it wants me to think i'm so good i must be perfect. or nothing. i am, on the contrary, something: a being who gets tired, has shyness to fight, has more trouble than most facing people easily.
