It was absolutely killing me that I've spent the first 25 years of my life tryin' to avoid bullets. That was always the main concern. Don't go out late. Don't go to any shady neighborhoods. Don't hang in bars alone. Why? Because you wanna avoid bullets. So once I get to 35 then I was like "Woo, okay. Made it." And now there's a new warning. Now it's like strokes; I gotta watch my health.
Time will tell. Time is always telling. Time never stops telling,
Funk never dies. It is eternal. It just smells a little different from time to time.
When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.
I want to be as healthy as I can be so I can make it past 50; make it past 60 and make it past 70.
Just because the laws were changed doesn't mean that the attitudes have changed.
The only mofos in my circle are people that I can learn from.
Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.
