The Nets' A Stone Throw

My Life After Childhood Has Two Main Stories: The Story Of The Hustler And The Story Of The Rapper, And The Two Overlap As Much As They Diverge. I Was On The Streets For More Than Half Of My Life From The Time I Was Thirteen Years Old. People Sometimes Say That Now I'm So Far Away From That Life - Now That I've Got Businesses And Grammys And Magazine Covers - That I Have No Right To Rap About It. But How Distant Is The Story Of Your Own Life Ever Going To Be? The Feelings I Had During That Part Of My Life Were Burned Into Me Like A Brand. It Was Life During Wartime.

If I Was To Stop Making Music Tomorrow Doesn't Mean Suddenly There Is This Gap. You Don't Get Elected. The People Decide Where You Are. Whether I'm Here Or Not, If They Want You To Be At The Top Then The People Will Move Me Out The Way.

I Get My By Any Means On, Whenever There's A Drought Get Your Umbrellas Out Because That's When I Brainstorm.
