Nas
I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.
Nas
I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
Nas
I don't meditate. Silence is golden though.
