I never had any ambitions of being a movie star or anything like that, but you know, this is nice.

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.

I dreamt that I could paint you with words, but there were no colors bright enough, black or white enough, blue or green enough...they didn't mean enough

I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.

My Umi said shine your light on the world, shine your light for the world to see

And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.

I'm blacked than midnight on Broadway and Myrtle
