You gotta let the fans shine their glory the way they want. It's like I have a million bosses and my job is to make them happy.
RakimBefore I started rapping and touring I weighed about 160. But by going on the road every night eating fast food, performing every night, partying and drinking I started gaining weight immediately.
RakimMan is symbolic to the sun. The sun is dealing with a ball of fire and didn't go out yet. Me being symbolic to the sun, that's what keeps me going, that's like my hunger. That's like my fury, my self esteem. That's the elements within me that keep my body motionable. The fire is self esteem. Inner strength.
RakimI think half of our life is written out for us and things happen the way their supposed to happen.
