Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust?

Why try to fit in when you a stand out?

Success to me is self-determined, the life I live today, to come from a kid strung out on angel dust, homeless, at some points sleeping in the street. No money, not knowing where the next meal was coming from. No sex, no relationships, people that didn't love me, didn't care about me, to where I am today... that's successful. When I signed my record deal I always wanted to be respected by my peers for my ability and my skill level.

If I'm trading bars with somebody, it certainly is not because I have a release coming. Joe Budden prides himself on the music and not the sales aspect.

Music kept me sane. I love music too much. I'm too passionate about music to let anything or anyone come in between me and my love.

I think, it's so difficult to create a buzz anywhere, whether it be online, the streets, radio, anywhere, that if you are able to create a buzz somewhere, it definitely means something.

I loved love til' it resented me, and if it's still a stranger then I love who it pretends to be.
