The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever. I'm not really book-smart.

Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood.

I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.
