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.
Nas

Nas
Africa has been going through so much for so many years it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.

Nas
I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret.
Nas
