I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that.
Remind your self. Nobody constructed like you, you style your self.
Males shouldnt be jealous. Thats a female trait.
Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.
Life is a gift, love opens it up.
Their gunnin' for me, want to see me fall, you know my story, been through it all, times I felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin', what didn't kill me, makes me strong as iron.

You can put a new shirt on your back, slide a fresh chain around your neck, and accumulate all the money and power in the world, but at the end of the day those are just layers. Money and power don't change you, they just further expose your true self.
Everybody can tell you how to do it but they never done it

Don't ever go with the flow. Be the flow.
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter.
