The worst part of success is, to me, adapting to it. It's scary.
Every time I write these words they become a taboo, Making sure my punctuation curve, every letter here's true, Living my life in the margin, and that metaphor was proof.
My pops and my mom started playing Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers and all these people, but at the same time, they always had Snoop on right behind it in the same mix.
I don't sugarcoat it you'd die from diabetes if these other niggas wrote it
It's a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.
Hip-hop and being a pro athlete go hand in hand. When they come together, it's a win, not just for your business brand but also for culture.
I don't vote. I don't do no voting.
Let bygones be bygones...but where I'm from, We buy guns and more guns, to give to the young.
Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.
My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.
It's deep-rooted, the music of being young and dumb, It's never muted, in fact, it's much louder where I'm from.
I'm putting out this free music, constantly putting it out.
