I want people to follow their dreams, yes but I'm not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers I want to show them that there's so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.

I'm the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that. It's a small complaint in comparison to the benefits I get from it, but the restrictive part is what I don't like - and the fact that it's not reversible.

How big can you be if just the underground niggas know you? You can't buy your mom a house when you just an underground celebrity.

So ahead of my time even when i rhyme about the future I be reminiscing

I'll be dammed if I sit around another year, Dreamin' dreams hopin' somehow that they just appear.

I'm half-black, half-white, so I basically put it like this: I can fit in anywhere. That's why I write so many stories from so many different perspectives, because I've seen so many.

Get on yo job little man this ain't Saturday
