They call shots, but I got a trick up my sleeve ...





"They call shots, I call audibles."
Wisdom: 'They' refers to the system or the powers that be, whom control many of the enterprises of the world. To call an 'audible' is to change the 'shot' that was called; basically changing the shot to adapt to a situation. This quote suggests that one may not be a 'team player' as they call their own shots.

"On any give night I perform like Mike, any one: Tyson, Jordan, Jackson."
Wisdom: Signifies that one will execute a flawless performance for any given event. The comparison to the various 'Mike's' are notable, because at the time of this recording, each 'Mike' was at the pinnacle of their respective fields.
