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

People will hate you for speaking the truth, but you've gotta learn to stand up to them, so don't be offended if I say something you don't like.

If you get offended by my music, don't listen to it.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.

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.

My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me.

I maybe made some mistakes, but I'm only human.
