People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn't concentrate on my problem.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

Yeah, it's been a ride I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one Now some of you might still be in that place If you're trying to get out, just follow me I'll get you there

I've been running a lot, taking care of myself.

To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks anyway.

You're not going to hit it every single time, and that's why, when I record an album, I do probably close to 50 songs. Each song I record has to get better. If it's not better than the last song that I made, it'll usually linger for a couple of months, and then it'll be put on the backburner, and then there'll be another song that I do, and then it often doesn't make it on the album.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto, I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.
