We're All Africans, Everyone - Black, White,

I Lay Puzzle As I Backtrack To Earlier Times, Nothing's Equivalent To The New York State Of Mind

I Set It Off With My Own Rhyme / Cause I'm As Ill As A Convict Who Kills For Phone Time

I Know You Think My Life Is Good 'cause My Diamond Piece, But My Life Been Good Since I Started Finding Peace.

Mostly Every Form Of American Music Is Dead. It's Been Dead. R&b Isn't Really Good. You Got A Handful Of Great Guys - Ne-yo, R. Kelly, Usher. You Have A Handful Of Great Female Artists. But For The Most Part The Music World's Changing And Change Is Good. You Have To Make Adjustments If You Want To Survive In That World. You Start To Thinking About Creative Moments - Bliss. When Everything Was All Good. You Realize That In Comparison To The Way Hip-hop Started Off, Where We Should Be At Right Now Is Not There.

When Your So Focused On What People Say, How Can Your Really Be Focused On The Music? If You're Concerned With What Someone Says, You Aren't Working On A Real Record. You're Working On Something That's Just For Now, To Please People This Very Second... Because You Don't Believe In Yourself.
