My Mother Taught Me Three Things: Respect,

To Me, I Feel That My Game Is Strong. I Feel As Thought I'm A Shining Prince, Just Like Malcolm, And I Feel That All Of Us Are Shining Princes, And If We Live Like Princes, Then Whatever We Want Can Be Ours. Anything.

To Me, A Perfect Album Talks About The Hard Stuff And The Fun And Caring Stuff.

Let Me Say For The Record, I Am Not A Gangster And Never Have Been. I'm Not The Thief Who Grabs Your Purse. I'm Not The Guy Who Jacks Your Car. I'm Not Down With People Who Steal And Hurt Others. I'm Just A Brother Who Fights Back. I'm Not Some Violent Closet Psycho. I've Got A Job. I'm An Artist.

I Want To Grow. I Want To Be Better. You Grow. We All Grow. We're Made To Grow.you Either Evolve Or You Disappear.

Don't Look Back Unless It's A Good View.
