I would never want a book's autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books.
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack. And a white man get paid off of all of that.
An artist's career doesn't happen in the cycle of one week of news. An artist's career happens in a lifetime, and if you're a true artist you're willing to die for what you believe in.
Racism is still alive they just be concealing it
Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's baby.
I'm supposed to be a musical genius, but I can't work the car seat that well.
Slavery is more mental than anything
They say, he must had an angel, cuss look how death missed his ass. Unbreakable, what you thought they'd call me Mr. Glass?

So I'm going to fight to make sure she has a better life.
I looked at Justin, and I was like: 'Do you want me to go onstage for you?'
