Injustice anywhere is an injustice anywhere
I wanna roll it, roll it, roll it, roll it. Is all I wanna do, for you baby. Girl, it's something kind of sexy. Goin' on about you babe.
It's amazing to know that 5 years ago I was writing songs in a basement in the ghetto and now I'm writing for Michael Jackson. I'd be a fool not to say it's a dream come true.
I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.
I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.
I like to give people more than their money's worth.
If I'm going to be a leader then I have to go places that other people are afraid to go to. That's what makes a leader. To be not afraid to step out and go over the frontline. To stare darkness right in the face.
I went from a D all the way to an A plus, I tell you prayer changes things.
The power of pussy, that's why niggaz get their hair cut.
Once I started singing, I didn't have to try to be cool. I was just one of the coolest guys around.
I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now.
You know, I'm no different from a fireman. You got to run into a fire no matter how big the blaze is
I know my past is not what my future holds.
If we don't love ourselves, tell me, how can we love somebody else?
