I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that.

I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.

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.

I'd rather die enormous than live dormant.

No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here

You could name practically any problem in the hood and there'd be a rap song for you.

So many people that I've seen can't get clean water. It's a crime.

Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. Motherf--. I, will, not, lose.
Jay-Z
Image
I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna make something out of nothing. That's pretty much the American dream. So, for me, the realization that I could speak to people like that came first on a small scale. Then it just started happening. I started having this vibration.
