Does freedom have a meaning if you're trapped in your ways?

There was a whole batch of mc's that came out with me and a lot of them got more exposure than me but now a lot of them are out of the game, I'm still here, I'm a survivor so that's what makes me move the way I move.

If rhyme is a crime, my mic is my co-defendant.

A lot of people think that it was about Biggie on the East Coast and 2Pac on the West Coast. It wasn't like that. Big ran New York. 2Pac ran America.

Everybody has to play a side because if you play both sides you a snake if you not a peacemaker.

America has always been fascinated with the bad guy that's probably why I'm still here. I'm not just living off my bad guy image cuz at the end of the day nobody wants to be bad forever.

You can love me or you can hate me but you can't define me.
