Seize the moment and dont squander it. Cause you never know when it all could be over.
My pen and paper causes a chain reaction, to get your brain relaxing.
Yo, I failed ninth grade three times, but I don't think it was necessarily 'cause I'm stupid.
I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to.
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits I'll wear it.
Youre still beautiful to me, cause youre my mom.
I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and N.W.A. and I never went out and shot nobody.
I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
When 'Paul's Boutique' came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it.
I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.
Being a student of hip-hop in general, you take technical aspects from places. You may take a rhyme pattern or flow from Big Daddy Kane or Kool G Rap.
I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.
I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.
They call me Superman, Leap tall hoes in a single bound, I'm single now, Got no ring on this finger now, I'll never let another chick bring me down, In a relationship, save it b*tch, babysit? you make me sick, Superman aint savin sh*t, girl you can jump on shady's d*ck, Straight from the hip, cut to the chase, I'll tell a mo'f***in sl*t to her face.
