But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself ?
My mind is living on cloud 9 and this 9 is never on vacation.
Believe in God, it's only one God. F*** all that religion s***. Believe in one God, and do right. Try your best to do right, we ain't perfect. Just do that and everything will be straight,
Once I looked in the mirror and decided this is who I am, and I'm not scared of who I am, and I'm not scared that I can't be like you, and I'm good with just doing me, that's when I found myself, as a man.
The opposite of love? Vice. Temptation. The negative influences that we have. The bad energy that comes around us and makes us do certain things. To me, it's always been a war between the two.
I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.
If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.
It's easy to forget who you are.
Whatever pressure I feel all comes from me, from within. I always was that person who was hard on myself and challenged myself no matter what I was doing, whether it was passing third grade or playing basketball.
I live this life at a pace that anyone can go. Know your place, and dedicate your role ...To the faith that you'll die alone
Just let me be me, That's the only way I know.
The message I'm sending to myself - I can't change the world until I change myself first.
Don't you know your imperfections is a wonderful blessing, from heaven is where you got it from
I was a black sheep, but now I'm just a goat
