Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion. |
I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit. |
To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks anyway. |
I might talk about killing people, but that doesn't mean I do it. |
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. |
I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked. |
A lot of truth is said in jest. |
Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism. |
It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it's all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening. |
If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something. |
Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found. |
I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn't, then why would you say I am. |
My only scheme was to be a rapper. |
I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything. |
Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned. |
These times are so hard, and they're getting even harder. |
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. |
It'd be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren't kids who took up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I'm not a baby sitter. |
I come from Detroit where it's rough and I'm not a smooth talker. |
Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end. |
