I Spring Train In The Winter, Around

When You Step Outside Of School And Have To Teach Yourself About Life, You Develop A Different Relationship To Information. I've Never Been A Purely Linear Thinker. You Can See It In My Rhymes. My Mind Is Always Jumping Around, Restless, Making Connections, Mixing And Matching Ideas, Rather Than Marching In A Straight Line. That's Why I'm Always Stressing Focus. My Thoughts Chase Each Other From Room To Room In My Head If I Let Them, So Sometimes I Have To Slow Myself Down.

As Sure As This Earth Is Turnin, Souls Burnin / In Search Of Higher Learnin, Turnin In Every Direction Seeking Direction / My Moms Cryin Cause Her Insides Are Dyin / Her Son Tryin Her Patience, Keep Her Heart Racin / A Million Beats A Minute, I Know I Push You To Your Limit / But It's This Game, Love—i'm Caught Up All In It / They Make It So You Can't Prevent It, Never Give It / You Gotta Take It, Can't Fake It, I Keep It Authentic

Hip-hop Is More About Attaining Wealth. People Respect Success. They Respect Big. They Don't Even Have To Like Your Music. If You're Big Enough, People Are Drawn To You.

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.

Rosa Parks Sat So Martin Luther King Could Walk. Martin Luther King Walked So Obama Could Run. Obama's Running So We All Can Fly.
