I remember you was Misusing influence I did the same Abusing my power, of resentment Resentment turned into a deep depression Found screaming in the hotel room I didn't self destruct The evils of Lucy was all me So I went for answers I came home But that stop survivor's guilt Going and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned Or how A-1 my foundation was But while my loved was fighting the continuous war back in the city I was a new one A war that was on apartheid and discrimination Made me wanna go back to the and tell the homies what I learned The word was Just you wore a different gang color than mines mean I can't respect you as a black man Forgetting all the and hurt we caused each other in these streets If I you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us But I don't know, I'm no mortal man, maybe I'm just another
Shit and all I wrote I was gonna call another nigga but, it really a poem, I just felt like it's you probably could relate to. Other that, now that I finally got a chance to holla at you, I always wanted to ask you about a situa About a actually, you spoke on the ground. What you mean that, what the ground represent?
The ground is gonna up and swallow the evil. how I see it, my word is bond. I see and the is the symbol for the poor people, The poor is gonna open up this whole world And up the rich people. 'Cause the rich gonna be so fat, they gonna be so appetizing, You what I'm saying, wealthy, appetizing. The poor be so poor and hungry You know what I'm it's gonna be like might be some cannibalism out this mutha, they might eat the rich
Aight so let me ask you then, Do you see yourself as somebody that's Or somebody that made the of their own opportunities?
I see myself as a natural hustler, A true hustler in every of the word. I took nothin' I the opportunities, I worked at the most menial and degrading job And built myself up so I get it to where I owned it. I went from having manage me To me the person that works my management company. I everything I realized my destiny in a matter of five years You know what I'm saying I myself a millionaire. I made millions for a lot of now it's time to make millions for myself, You what I'm saying. I made millions for the companies, I made millions for these movie companies, now I make for us
And through your different avenues of How would you say you managed to keep a level of
By my in God, by my faith in the game, And by my faith in all good things to those that stay true. You know what I'm saying, and it was to me for a reason You know I'm saying, I was noticing, I was the right buttons and it was happening. So it's no problem, you know I mean it's a but I'm not finna let them know. I'm finna go through
Would you consider a fighter at heart Or that only reacts when they back is against the wall?
I like to think at every opportunity I've ever been threatened with resistance it's been met resistance. And not me but it goes down my family tree. You what I'm saying, it's in my veins to fight back
Aight well, how long you it take before niggas be like, We fighting a war, I'm fighting a war I can't win and I wanna lay it all
In this country a black man only have like 5 years we can exhibit strength And right now while you a teenager While you still strong or while you wanna lift weights, While you still wanna back. 'Cause you turn 30 it's like they take the heart and soul out of a man Out of a man in this country. And you don't wanna no more. And if you don't me you can look around, You don't see no loud mouth 30-year old
That's crazy, because me being one of your of the legacy you left behind I can truly tell you that there's but turmoil goin' on So I wanted to ask you what you think is the future for me and my generation
I think that niggas is grabbin' shit out the stores And next time it's a riot there's gonna be for real I don't think America can know I think American we was just playing and it's gonna be some more playing But it gonna be no playing. gonna be murder, you know what I'm saying, It's be like Nat Turner, 1831, up in this muthafucka. You know what I'm saying, it's happen
That's crazy man. In my opinion hope that we kinda have left Is and vibrations people don't understand how important it is. Sometimes I be like, get a mic And I don't know what type of energy push out, Or where it comes from. Trip me out
the spirits, we ain't really rappin' We letting our dead homies tell stories for us
I wanted to read one thing to you. It's actually something a good had wrote describing my world. It
