{{cquote|Kukulia mjini Corona ilikuwa kama Harlem ndogo, haikuwa vigumu sana kwa mtu mweusi kujihusisha na maisha ya mtaa hasa yale ya uendawazimu. Wakati nilivyokuwa kama na umri wa miaka 515 hivi, washikaji zangu hawakuweza kuvaa nguo nzuri na kwa kipindi hicho lazima utahitaji uwe na kiasi fulani cha pesa mufukoni mwako. Hicho ndicho kilichotukumba sisi sote, kulewa na mambo mabaya. Watu weusi wanashikwa na uchizi. Watu weusi wanaanza kuuza dawa za kulevya vichochoroni, na mambo hayo yote, ndiyo mambo yaliyokuwa yakiendelea huko mitaani... hatimaye maswahiba zangu wote wakawa wavutaji. Kila mtu alikuwa anandoka kimaisha'. Maswahiba zangu wote wakaanza kufungasha vipuli vya bangi kila siku, kwa kifupi tulichizika kwa sana.<ref>|30px|30px|Kool G Rap|The Source Magazine, issue 72, September, 1995.Kool G Rap, The Source, 1995, issue # 72</ref>}}
