Sometimes I sit and look at life from a different angle.
I rap about fighting back. I make it uncomfortable by putting details to it. It might not have been politically correct but I've reached somebody; They relating to me. They relate to the brutal honesty in the rap.
Take ones adversity Learn from their misfortune Learn from their pain Believe in something Believe in yourself Turn adversity into ambition Now blossom into wealth
I was raised in this society so you can't expect me to be a perferct person cause Ima do what Ima do.
I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn't fit in. Because I was from everywhere, I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with...Every time I had to go to a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don't fit in no matter what. If they push you out of the hood and the White people's world, that's criminal...Hell, I felt like my could be destroyed at any moment.
We are being wiped off the face of this earth At an extremely alarming rate And even more alarming is the fact That we are not fighting back
We look at death from the selfish side, like: "That guy died. Oh, it's so sad." Why is it sad? He's away from all of this bad stuff that's here on Earth. I mean, at the worst, he's just somewhere quiet, no nothing. At best, he's an angel... or he's a spirit somewhere. What is so bad about that?
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
I would rather have been shot straight-up in cold blood-but to be set up? By people who you trusted? That's bad.
fear no man but only God
Study your lessons, don't settle for less.
Never surrender, it's all about the faith that you got.
Measure a man by his actions fully from the beginning to the end. Don’t take a piece out of my life or a song out of my music and say this is what I’m about because you know better than that.
Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror I hate the man in the mirror Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
