But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself ?

How am I influencing so many people on this stage rather than influencing the ones that I have back home?

A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel

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.

You can't change where you from. You can't take a person out of their zone and expect them to be somebody else now that they in the record industry. It's gonna take years. Years of travelling. Years of meeting people. Years of seeing the world.

I cut off my ears before i hear your advice and vice versa

I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals
