My whole thing is if it wasn't for people like ya'll and people like them I wouldn't be me. I love every minute of it.
RakimNow I got kids and I'm more wise now. Life means more to me than having fun. I'm more calm, more wise, and more cautious.
RakimIt is what it is but I do me and I think people respect that. They see me out in the hood by myself or with wifey and I don't have no bodyguards.
RakimI never tried to crossover or be in the public's eye everyday. I'm laid back with it and at times I wondered if I was doing the right thing promoting myself staying back a little bit and coming out when I felt that I had too. But when I get all the accolades and hear the things people say it just puts it all together for me man. It's a blessing.
