I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to 'em, they stressed out and goin' under.

I'm doing this for the kid who truly leads a 'thug life' and thinks it's HOPELESS.

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

I am society’s child. This is how they made me and now I’m sayin’ what’s on my mind and they don’t want that. This is what you made me, America.

When I say ' thug' I mean not a criminal, someone who beats you over the head, I mean the underdog. You could have two people- one person has everything he needs to succeed and one person has nothing. If the person who has nothing succeeds, he's a thug. Cuz he overcame all the obstacles.

For quiet times disappear listen to the ocean

I am being ripped off, because I've never lied to the press. Just as much truth I bring to my work, a journalist should bring that much truth to their work.
