Quoted for truth

No doubt, son.
I am pleasantly surprised to see you quoting Jay-Z.
His album Kingdom Come insisted on taking up my life for a couple weeks last year.
His words are true, as you point out. How else would Busta Rhymes come up with a line as fun to quote as "My vernacular is spectacular" ?
Now, if only I could say that I have ninety-nine problems but a book ain't one.
