thinking want different
I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.
rap trying break
What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.
beautiful nice cities
I like Bergen County because it's nice and quiet. It's beautiful, and I can get to the city way quick.
crazy feet people
What I picked up on Michael Jackson - because I study people when I watch them - the way that he counts his rhythm with his feet and his neck at the same time is crazy... so he's hearing multiple things at once. And I don't know anybody who does that.
love-you angel heart
The voice of an Angel, the Heart of a Lamb, the spirit of a Lioness, the presence of a Goddess, love you R.I.P Whitney Houston.
dream thinking america
I think the greatest thing about America is the American Dream.
violence needs world
All that violence in the world, we need to stop that
song years village
I decided to do what I do when I was 2 years old. At 2 years old, you know, I heard the sound of a drum playing in the village, and I found my own drum and just picked it up and started playing, the worst song ever written by Wyclef Jean.But it actually started a vibe.
country mean years
If I can't take five years out to serve my country as president, then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't mean anything.
needs stuff way
For everybody who lost somebody out there and stuff, when you need therapy, music is the best way.
challenges grain
I like to go against the grain, against what's out there. Every day is like a challenge.
america missing melting
America is a melting pot of immigrants. So actually, if you took all of the immigrants outside of America, you'd be missing a lot of flavor, starting with the food, with the culture, with the dance, with everything.
no-excuses projects huts
I come from a hut, from a hut I went to the projects, from the projects I went to a mansion so you out there you have ABSOLUTLY NO EXCUSE!
family father mama
Mama, you know you raised me with no father figure. I wanna take this time to thank you, even though I'm doing life.
