Don't Believe Everything You Hear:

All B.s. Aside, It All Comes Down To... We Got To Survive. I Mean, Even Warriors Put Their Spears Down On Sundays. We Got To Survive Here In This Country... 'cause I'm Not Going Back To Africa. We Got To Survive Here. And For Us To Survive Here-white Folks, Black Folks, Korean Folks, Mexican Folks, Puerto Ricans-we Got To Understand Each Other.

And Did You Ever Stop To Think That Im Old Enough To Go To War But I Aint Old Enough To Drink.

When You Do Rap Albums, You Got To Train Yourself. You Got To Constantly Be In Character.

To Me, I Feel That My Game Is Strong. I Feel As Thought I'm A Shining Prince, Just Like Malcolm, And I Feel That All Of Us Are Shining Princes, And If We Live Like Princes, Then Whatever We Want Can Be Ours. Anything.

We Talk A Lot About Malcom X And Martin Luther King Jr, But It's Time To Be Like Them, As Strong As Them. They Were Mortal Men Like Us And Everyone Of Us Can Be Like Them. I Don't Want To Be A Role Model. I Just Want To Be Someone Who Says, This Is Who I Am, This Is What I Do. I Say What's On My Mind.
