The thing that bothers me is that it seems like all the sensitive stuff I write just goes unnoticed . . . the media doesn't get who I am at all. Or maybe they just can't accept it. It doesn't fit into those negative stories they like to write. I'm the kind of guy who is moved by a song like Don McLean's "Vincent," that one about Van Gogh. The lyric on that song is so touching. That's how I want to make my songs feel. Take "Dear Mama" - I aimed that one straight for my homies' heartstrings.

Things change that's the way it is.

Take a look at my family, a different father every weekend.

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

I only wrote one song in jail. But I'm writing new album - you're going to feel the entire 11 months of what I went through on this album. I'm venting my anger.

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS SOCIETY! First they try to murder me then they lie to me!

I feel that what was done in the dark will come to light. There are secrets everybody's gonna find out about.
