Cool people still have a hard time showing what they got in Hollywood.

Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.

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

Doing it your own way, not having to go exactly by the book to be successful.

I think hip-hop has changed. When I first came out, hip-hop was more of a kind of way to learn about new places, new things. What are kids doing on the East coast, what are kids doing here. Then it left that and is like a party mode. I think it's going back to people wanting to get messages and wanting to learn things from the music.
