Always gone but never hard to find.. And since you can't escape me, do I ever cross your mind?

Films portraying successful black people getting married are great, but films that only show one aspect of our culture, bother me.

I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. People always act like I spend my life crying in a dark room. I don't, I'm good. I'm a man. I want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullshit. I don't think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. And how they remember you is up to you. I just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because I wake up every morning and I'm me.

I like getting my own thoughts out right now, I have fans to solidify, so that's why I don't do tracks with too many younger rappers or newer artists. People may consider me to be a music snob or whatever, but I like to preserve what's mine and I also don't just do tracks to do tracks, I make every song with a purpose.

So cry if you need to but I can't stay to watch you It's the wrong thing to do

Faded way too long, I'm floatin in and out of consciousness

I don't talk to the groupies. I talk to nice, upstanding women. The groupies don't get my attention. It's the women that I like.
