Perspective. You start looking at things differently, like everything's not so important. You don't take things so personally. Everyone changes, becomes better people. We all should get that chance.

When I say ' thug' I mean not a criminal, someone who beats you over the head, I mean the underdog. You could have two people- one person has everything he needs to succeed and one person has nothing. If the person who has nothing succeeds, he's a thug. Cuz he overcame all the obstacles.

We are weak, please let us in. We're week, please let us in. After about a week tha song is gonna change to, We're hungry, we need some food. After two, three weeks it's like Give me some of tha food! I'm breakin down tha door. After a year it's like, I'm pickin' the lock, comin' through the door blastin. It's like, I'm hungry.
