I be off the slave ships, building pyramids, writing my own hieroglyphs

I felt like, what better way for people to understand me by taking the initiative in giving my real name, my name that moms taught me so y'all actually know what's going on in my life and my music.

I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.

I'm listening to a lot of oldies.A lot of Al Green, Marvin Gaye. Luther Vandross... they were some of my icons.

The Universe energy doesn't lie.

I wanted the next family to hurt, because you made my family hurt. Them emotions were still running in me... Whether I'm a rap star or not, if I still feel like that, then I'm part of the problem rather than the solution.

The worst part of success is, to me, adapting to it. It's scary.
