You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
And know that every struggle in life is there to teach you a lesson It's times like this that make you
The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled Was convincing women that they looked Better in their makeup
Live tonight, cuz you can't take it with ya.
Make the money, don't let the money make you Change the game, don't let the game change you
Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
No freedom til we're equal...damn right I support it.
The trust that I once built has been betrayed. But I'd rather live tellin' the truth and be judged for my mistakes, than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised.
I shop at thrift shops probably five times a week.
I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
We become so numb to what we're saying.
I like to be as diverse as possible. I think the humorous side and the serious side are both elements of my personality. It's what makes me who I am and if I was to neglect either one of those sides and just focus on one of them, it wouldn't be the full spectrum of my personality.
