I always loved rapping ever since Snoop said "1-2-3-4," I was repeating lines, but I didn't start writing my own lyrics until I was twelve.
I got mouths to feed, Unnecessary beef is more cows to breed.
I started doing shows in places that I couldn't pronounce, didn't know existed, and I've seen people that didn't speak English or Spanish rapping to every lyric and singing to every hook. I said, "This is the type of music that I want to do. "
Be doin artists in like Cain did Abel, Now they money's gettin stuck to the gum under the table.
I do like alternative rock and rap, but as far as inspirational, then I go full-on orchestra. It fills up your entire being.
Rapping about a surgery is something that makes sense for me to do.
And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble, But I disregarded detour signs, And did not stop til you was mine. I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine. ' Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps. Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep. '
You wanna know my occupation? I get paid to rock the nation. I go to work.
It's a thin line between paper and hate, Friends and snakes, nine millis and thirty-eights, Hell or the pearly gates. . . I was destined to come, Predicted, blame God, He blew breath in my lungs.
I was a little too antsy, I was jumping around, wanting to go here, wanting to be there. Once I started smoking weed, I just wanted to stay and play the video game and rap. You spend good time with your daughter, man, after you go smoke, chill with your daughter. You're willing to do whatever she want to do.
While also, importantly, not wanting to dumb it down or pretend the days of 'difficult' poetry are over, because we live in a pluralist culture and there's room for 'difficult' poetry alongside rap and everything else. And poetry won't be for everyone, but everyone should have the choice.
I do think there's a great deal of politics mixed in rap. Their reference to the real world is much better than most, particularly a lot of women who seem like all they do is sing about love. Love is such a fleeting emotion. It's such a small part of the things you do in your life. I don't understand why that's all they concentrate on, except that that's what they're encouraged to do, because if you keep thinking about love, you'll be less of a challenge. I like that about rap. It's got power to it.
Shoot eagles on the Jack Nicklaus course, Porsche with the triple exhaust, Seats soft like a midget's cough.

The only difference between a winner and a loser is a winner plays until he wins
We fight every night, now that's not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer, And wake up to be greeted by an argument again,. . . You act like you're ten. So immature, I try to concentrate on a cure, And keep lookin' at the front door.
There are a lot of new sounds I've gone for, which I may not have been ready to go for in the past, especially moving away from just rapping. I really tried to push my songwriting side on this one. I think that, for better or worse, people have definitely been able to tell. Changing style is always gonna be a lovehate thing for people, but I love it all, and I can't please everyone so that's all that matters.
There's so many gay rappers. . . They probably dis me cause I'm the straight one.
Thinkin' of a master plan Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand.
With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
