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.

I can never turn my back on a city that made me.

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

That's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it.
