I'm rapping in English but in an African way. I'm not trying to sound like an American.

A cold heart is my protection mechanism. I don't really feel anything for anyone.

Only a coward will use a gun to protect and get respect for themselves.

I am proof that one person can rise above any challenge, and if I can, then so will others if they are given the chance.

In Africa, music is for everything, Music was originally used for community. That was what music was for.

I still have nightmares of dead comrades, a long time ago, talking to me. 'Emmanuel, don't forget about us, don't give up, keep telling our story.'

I'm constantly seen as a 'foreigner,' and I need my passport to prove my identity, to keep moving and to carry on my work.
