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.

Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.

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

I'm constantly thinking.

Just let me be me, That's the only way I know.

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.

You grow up inside these neighborhoods and these communities, and you have friends, friends that you love, friends that you grew up with since elementary. And you have their trust, and you have their loyalty. So it brings influence. So no matter how much of a leader I thought I was, I was always under the influence, period.
