Speak what I want, I don't care what y'all feel. 'Cause I'm my own master, my Pop told me be your own boss. Keep integrity at every cost,
Street's disciple, my raps are trifle. I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle.
I don't respect killers, I respect O.G. knowledge, Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance. Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple; Folks, take care of your brothers, niggas do as I do. Keep your enemies close, where they can see you. It's not your enemy who get you, it's always your own people.
In the past I had to deal with issues that hit me as a younger man. As a man who wasn't married who didn't really have the experience that I have now. Today I'm a different guy.
Every great person educates themselves.
Whats up with your motto? Will you lead? Will you follow?
Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days... that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised. It's blunt. It's raw, straight off the street - from the beat to the voice to the words.
You can't please everybody. You['d] be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
I talk about Africa and its meaning, being the birthplace of man and all that great history that's been erased and even hidden. I think it's my duty to be proud and to bring about the conversation that allows us to talk about the great history of my people.
Your look reflects whats happening in your mind.
True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
It's foul what this money could do, cash corrupts the loyal.
I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings
The further I get, the further I want to go
