a lyrical example from 'Talk to Strangers' from his self titled album

Talk to strangers

when the family fails and friends led you astray

and Buddah laughs and Jesus weeps and turns out God is gay.

As angels in disguise love can come in many forms,

the hallways of your projects or the fat girl in your dorm,

and when you finally take the time to see what they’re about

perhaps you find they’re lonely or their wisdom trips you out.

man, that saul williams is fucking amazing on the mic.
