If I Told You That

The More People I Meet, The More Cultures I Start To Embrace, The More People I Open Myself Up To - It's A Growing Process I'm Excited About. But It's Also A Challenge For Me, To Be At This Level And Still Be Able To Connect With Somebody Who's Living That Everyday Life. At First It Was Something I Struggled With, Because Everything Was Moving So Fast. I Didn't Know How To Digest It. The Best Thing I Did Was Go Back To The City Of Compton, To Touch The People Who I Grew Up With And Tell Them The Stories Of The People I Met Around The World.

And I'm Not Sure Why I'm Infatuated With Death, My Imagination Is Surely An Aggravation Of Threats... Maybe Cause I'm A Dreamer, And Sleep Is The Cousin Of Death, Really Stuck In The Scheme Of Wondering When I'mma Rest.

I Went To South Africa - Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg - And Those Were Definitely The "i've Arrived" Shows. Outside Of The Money, The Success, The Accolades ... This Is A Place That We, In Urban Communities, Never Dream Of. We Never Dream Of Africa. Like, "damn, This Is The Motherland." You Feel It As Soon As You Touch Down. That Moment Changed My Whole Perspective On How To Convey My Art.

I Knew I Was Blessed With A Gift Of Having Both Parents.
