What was once easy became confused and hard, which brings us back to the mystic question, who is God?

If anybody can make a change it's the rappers.

I always wanted to kind of make the listener feel like it was them that I was talking about, or to the point that I could say the rhyme, and feel like it's them saying it.

We lost the connection between the entertainment world and the neighborhoods.

When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.

When you come out the streets. I ain't braggin'. I never sold drugs but I kept a joint on me. I got arrested plenty of times back when I was a juvenile. Not saying I was a bad ass. I was a juvenile coming' out to the city, to do MC conventions that Mike & Dave was doing. I had to hold myself down. Now I put the gat up. I chill. I pay more attention to life.

When you're trying to please both sides of the fence at the same time you really can't do that.
