Wrote my way out of the hood...thought my way out of poverty! Don't tell me that knowledge isn't power. Education changes everything.

About This Quote

In this quote, Eminem is not only speaking about the value of education, but also the power of knowledge to change lives. He wrote his way out of a life of crime and poverty by studying hard and reading books. He is not telling people that they should become a criminal or a poor person by dropping out or not going to school. Instead, he is saying that if you study hard and read books, you too can end up something other than what you started out to be. That’s the power of knowledge—it helps us change our lives for the better.
