I can't help the way you was born if you was gay.

You can have the platinum album, but when you still feel like you haven't quite found your place in the world - it kind of gives a crazy offset.

I went back and studied the game, was a student of the game and worked on my craft and dedicated myself, you know? A lot of my music revolves around me growing up in Compton. I want to tell a different story that's never been told before, of a good kid in a mad city.

Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.
