No matter where you're from - you can be Native American, Italian, Jewish, Latino, African-American - whatever you are, we're all distant relatives.

All I need is one mic . All I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man.

You ni**az get me sick, wannabe soundin like you know my arithmetic... but we don't sound alike

Today, with the media, the internet, things get out there about anybody, anytime, so there's nothing wrong about talking about your life, because someone else is going to talk about it and mess it up.

I live in L.A. because my kids do. Home is where my kids are for me.

I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do.

I'm proud to be an American, no matter what. But Amercian culture is stale, you know wha I'm saying ? We keep regurgitating the same sh*t. And it ain't exciting. I seen it from when I was a kid watching the whole sh*t. The sh*t was exciting to me.
