It'd be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren't kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I'm not a baby sitter.
Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.
There was a while when I was feeling like, 'Damn, if I'd just been born black, I would not have to go through all this'.
The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.
To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks anyway.
Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.
When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.
I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.
I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell. Did I mention I'm stupid?
If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found.
