Be Bold, Be Brave Enough To Be

When It Came Time To Be A Professional Rapper, I Wouldn't Sign Anything Without Reading It. There Was No Way I Was Going To Have People Make Decisions For Me Or Wake Up One Day And Find That I Was Broke Because I Never Bothered To Read A Contract.

I Was Taught From A Young Age That Many People Would Treat Me As A Second-class Citizen Because I Was African-american And Because I Was Female.

When We Understand That We Are A Human Race, What Affects You Affects Me, What Affects Her Affects You And So On And So On, Then We'll Look At This Thing [hiv/aids] For What It Really Is. It's A Disease That's Out To Kill All Of Us. What Will Make It Continue Is Our Prejudices, Our Ideas About It, And The Fact That We Don't Look At Ourselves As One Giant Community.

If There Are Kids Who Want To Follow In My Footsteps, I'd Say That My Shoes Are Too Big For Them To Fill! But Their Shoe Size Is Just Perfect.

I Have To Be Realistic About What I Can And Can't Do. So Whatever I Do Has To Really Be Worth It. I Like To Master The Things I Do.
