    "We just need some love, that’s all. We just need  to get the love back in the city. This is supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love. This is not. This is the city of kill your brother- Killadelphia is what they call it now."

    "You have to make peace. I feel you have to make peace because if you don’t then you’ll be caught up out here with everything else that’s going on around you. You have to learn how to take yourself outta that and keep your own peace ‘cause if not you’re not gonna have any peace. In reality we don’t [have peace]. The only peace we may have is when we are asleep or when we are in our own homes. But then you still have bullets flying through the windows."

    His dad wanted memories of his first day of school. The school makes them do the peace sign. When they're walking in the school they all have to do the peace sign.

    We need peace. That’s why I love doing the peace sign. All my friends are like “that is so old, nobody does that anymore.” But I'm like, "we need peace!"
