I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me, He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be.
When the charge first came up, I hated black women. Then, going to trial, I started seeing the black women that was helping me. It's mostly black female guards. They treat me with human respect.
It's no longer a fad to be down for the young Black male. Everybody wants to go past. Like the gangster stuff, it just got exploited.
If you're a black man, they really call you out and have you deal with them.
I'm responsible for what i did. I'm not responible for what every black male did. Yes! I call myself a THUG, because i grew up in the ghetto. And im still standing.
I find any great man, black or white, I'm going to study him, learn him so he can't be great to me no more.
It aint about black or white cause we`re human
There ain't nothin' like a Black woman.
I feel like Black Jesus got his hands on me and guides me through life to put me where I'm supposed to be.
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottleI make mistakes but learn from every oneAnd when it's said and doneI bet this brother be a better oneIf I upset you dont stressNever forget, that God isn't finished with me yet
I' ve been shot five times but im still breathing living proof there a god if you need a reason.
Thanks for comin out, God bless you, good night...What of fame?Everyone knows your face, the world screams your nameAnd never again, are you alone..
Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal
If we're all saying that rap is an artform then we gotta be more responsible for our lyrics. If you see everybody dying because of what you're saying, it don't matter that you didn't make them die, it just matters that you didn't save them.
