As Kids We Didn't Complain About Being

I Couldn't Even Think About Wanting To Be Something Else; I Wouldn't Let Myself Visualize Another Life. But I Wrote Because I Couldn't Stop. It Was A Release, A Mental Exercise, A Way Of Keeping Sane.

I Keep My Enemies Close/ I Give 'em Enough Rope/ They Put Themselves In The Air/ I Just Kick Away The Chair.

Nine To Five Is How Ya Survive, I Ain't Trying To Survive I'm Trying To Live It To The Limit And Love It Alive

Hip-hop Has Done So Much For Racial Relations, And I Don't Think It's Given The Proper Credit. It Has Changed America Immensely. I'm Going To Make A Very Bold Statement: Hip-hop Has Done More Than Any Leader, Politician, Or Anyone To Improve Race Relations.

I Had Success. I Had A Number One Record. I Had A Number One Album. I Have To Make This Kind Of Record Again Or Else I'm Going To Lose It All. That's How You End Up Making The Same Song Over And Over.
