It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you

You beef wit me, I'm-a even the score equally. Take you on Jerry Springer and beat your ass legally.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

I don't know if I ever feel totally great about a record when I put it out. With every record that I put out, someone has literally got to come pry it from me because when I listen to my own music, I just hear flaws in it.

I was a smart kid, but I hated school.
