A Quote by Chuck D

I adhere to the philosophy, "I don't care who writes the laws, let me write the songs." — © Chuck D
I adhere to the philosophy, "I don't care who writes the laws, let me write the songs."
I sit and I write automatically. I don't really try to write. My subconscious mind takes over and writes the songs for me. Songs come very easily for me. When I'm inspired, it takes me 20 minutes to write a song.
I don't care who writes a nation's laws - or crafts its advanced treaties - if I can write its economics textbooks.
Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.
Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws.
A lot of times, people assume that I write all the songs: that I arrange them and I stick Kevin up there as kind of a puppet or something. It's absolutely not that way. In fact, he writes probably 60 percent of the songs, and I write probably 40 percent.
Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love.
If you want to change a law, you have to pass a law. Presidents don't write laws. Congress writes laws.
I'm not one of these people who sits down and writes to say I'm gonna write a song about this or that, or a specific subject. The songs actually kind of write themselves.
Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.
You adhere to a philosophy, but part of the philosophy I have is that I don't want to be too doggone inflexible that I miss a good player.
I don't write happy songs. Who does? I don't know anybody who writes happy songs, really.
Singing is my main goal, and I think philosophy will help me write songs.
I'm not somebody who carries around a notepad and writes songs all day long. I don't imagine everything I think of is worth being in a song. So I tend to collect notes, and I set time aside to go to work and write songs.
A man always writes absolutely well whenever he writes in his own manner, but the wigmaker who tries to write like Gellert ... writes badly.
I guess I'm just an old mad scientist at bottom. Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom-smashers, and a beautiful girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care not who writes the nation's laws.
I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.
