Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto, I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood.
Just promise me you'll think of me everytime you look up in the sky and see a star
Ain't nothin' but a whole lot of suckin' goin' on in rap.
Believe it or not, I thank my mom for how she raised me in a neighborhood daily to jump and chase me. It only made me what I am today.
If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
I don't like to give the sob story: growing up in a single-parent home, never knew my father, my mother never worked, and when friends came over I'd hide the welfare cheese. Yo, I failed ninth grade three times, but I don't think it was necessarily 'cause I'm stupid. I didn't go to school. I couldn't deal.
I'm not really book-smart.
Imma be what I set out to be without a doubt undoubtedly.
I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just let you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road.
My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
I might talk about killing people, but that doesn't mean I do it.
