I've been in Philadelphia 10 years, man. I knew it was going to be a challenge, mentally. I always thought life would come to an end if I ever left Philadelphia. And I feel like a newborn.

Everything just comes right back into circulation. Baggy jeans might come back out again. Might be a while, but they might.
