Famous quotes by Nita Lowey:

"I understand that you're coming here and that you put a plan in place. But we don't have the luxury not to consider what just happened as a wake-up call and to act now in addition to putting a plan in place,"
"I don't know who to believe,"
"a blow to our efforts to improve women's health around the world."
"Essentially what that means is that groups that talk about family planning, that advocate family planning, cannot have dollars -- U.S. dollars,"
"I respect her process, and Mrs. Clinton is going to have to take the time she needs,"
"For six months, we've been hearing -- the check is in the mail, the check is in the mail and the New York delegation worked very, very hard. And today we opened the mailbox and the check is there and we're going to continue to work with this administration to make sure the needs of New Yorkers are met,"
"Stand up, delink paying the UN dues from family planning. Don't let this issue be hijacked by an extremist group in the Republican party, ... Late Edition."

[Knightowl]
Back the fuck up and never rush a fool like me
Or be the next I leave in misery

So think about it would you like to beocme the next

Who be the next to try and step to me and die
It's too fuckin late mothafucka not don't you cry
You made the choice so now you got to fuckin pay
You played the game so now you got no fuckin brains
You rest in piss cause you was trien to fuckin diss

And if you keep messin around you'll be ruin

[Knightowl]
Think about your next move loco I suggest

Cause life be like a game of chess
And if you choose to make the wrong fuckin move homes
I'll seperate you from your home with this fuckin chrome
I got the valas that land all in your cata
You oughta know punk little bitch no valas nada
So best to learn a fuckin lesson and take a seat

Don't try to act like you don't know what I be talkin bout
You wanna hang around with Knightowl fool you see the clout
You see the was a lot of mothafuckas kiss my ass
But if you be the kind that talks I'll shatter you like glass
Cause I don't give a fuck about those that'll disrespect

So best to think about the shit that you wanna do
And if you ain't my dog fuck you and you crew
[Chorus]
[Knightowl]
Don't try to hang out with G's fool you don't belong
Now take a listen to this last part of this fuckin song

Cause you ain't nothin but a bitch you should've been a girl
