Unfortunately, man, a lot of places in America have to deal with unnecessary violence. Somebody like me who knows it firsthand and could relate... I had a best friend killed, plenty other friends killed. I been through it. I seen it.
If I made an album just to sell you a story about how I'm the man, it really doesn't show any human side to me. It's good to talk about what's real and what's relevant.
So many affluent men are faced with finding love problems. I'm sure beautiful, affluent women are faced with the same things sometimes.
You can't count a man out because one record went different direction. You gotta count the things that scored, not the misses.
Freedom or jail clips inserted, a baby's being born/ Same time a man is murdered, the beginning and end.
All I need is one mic . All I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man.
I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity, Just hope the Big Man show me some courtesy
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Failure is not an option, and I always felt like I'm a man who doesn't have regrets, and I don't live with excuses. I can't take excuses.
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.
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.
Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.
Play it cool, that's the old school rule man...
I see N.Y. hip-hop like I see N.Y. streets. N.Y. streets are grimy; it's a grind. N.Y. rappers are hustlers - whatever sound is in, we can adapt to that; there's nothing wrong with that.
