And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony.

Touring is hard on the body.

You know, not to sound corny or nuthin', but I felt like a fighter comin' up, man. I felt like, you know, I'm being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.

It'd be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren't kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I'm not a baby sitter.

My only scheme was to be a rapper.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
