Other Side of the Tracks Quotes

“They won’t have to live in Hamilton under the gray skies. They will be able to know what
lies above the clouds and our dreams will give them wings. Until that day, remember to never give up. Hardships are soil, bad days are the sun, and sweat and tears give nourishing water to a seed that will birth a beautiful field where you can reap those dreams a hundred times over.”

“Rainbows aren’t all white, nor are they all black. They are filled with colors that dwell together in unity. Nature shows no prejudice to color; blue skies shine against snow-white mountains. Sunsets are filled with oranges, blues, purples, and pinks. Nature understands that beauty can only be truly found in
integration, but my dad never got that. So, we never got each other.”

“It makes its own wind that lifts you up and lets you ride on its current. Sometimes you’re up, and then sometimes you’re down; but the ride is amazing. Then there’s the blues. It tells a story that sticks with you, it teaches you life lessons. Rock and roll preaches this sermon on rebellion with an out-of-this-world vocalist who doesn’t give a crap what the world thinks. And hip-hop, it really gives a voice to the poets many usually don’t pay attention to. All this music has a story, and you don’t have to pick up a book and read about it to understand it. You just need to listen.”

“Some stars is dimmer than others, just like some life experiences we got is dim. Sometimes the dim things make us feel like giving up, throwing in the towel, and just lying down to stare at that dark sky. But we gotta remember, even though the sky is dark, there’s stars still shining, and we gotta be grateful for that too, even if they is dim.”

“Because we are the walking masterpiece. We are the true paint that gives beauty to the canvas of this earth. The confidence we have for the skin we’re in, the confidence that bubbles out of us like a waterfall, are the jewels that adorn our ears and necks. That somewhere in heaven seated on a throne made of jewels is someone who died an unjust death, completely innocent.”
