If you really look at my lyrics, nobody's exempt. Nobody's exempt from observation, criticism or what I think is correction.

I don't get nothing but love. In every ghetto all over the world. Nothing but love. They respect that I came outta there and I'm doing it the right way. You can't do nothing but respect that.
