There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that.

Don't cry through your dispair.

To all the seeds that follow me protect your essence, Born with less, but you still precious.

Burnin' churches, fearin' God, Who can be so cruel, We all ignorant to AIDS, Till it happens to you.

Why isn't it hip-hop when I do it? Everybody else can have beef within the music, talk about differences and it's ok. It's music, it's hip-hop, it's ground breaking. When I do it, it's war.

My life is in denial. And when I die, baptized in eternal fire, I'll shed many tears.

You never know what's going on in somebody's mind. There's a lot of pressure on someone growing up. You have to watch it.
