“This is business, no faces just lines and statistics, from your phone, your zip code, to SSI digits… The system break man, child and women into figures, two columns for who is and who ain’t niggas… Numbers is hard and real and they never have feelings, but you push too hard, even numbers got limits..” - Mos Def (better known as Yasiin Bey), Mathmatics, Black on Both Sides
