Being Able To Tell One From Start

I've Got An Extra-specific Story About Dr. Dre. I Saw Him When I Was 9 Years Old In Compton - Him And Tupac. They Were Shooting The Second 'california Love' Video. My Pops Had Seen Him And Ran Back To The House And Got Me, Put Me On His Neck, And We Stood There Watching Dre And Pac In A Bentley.

I Learned, When I Look In The Mirror And Tell My Story, That I Should Be Myself And Not Peep Whatever Everybody Is Doing.

As I've Grown As An Artist, I've Learned That My Mission Statement Is Really Self-expression. I Don't Want Anybody To Classify My Music. I Want Them To Say, "this Is Somebody Who's Recognizing His True Feelings, His True Emotions, Ideas, Thoughts, Opinions, And Views On The World, All On One Record." I Want People To Recognize That And To Take It And Apply It To Their Own Lives. You Know What I'm Saying? The More And More I Get Out And Talk To Different People, I Realize They Appreciate That - Me Being Unapologetic In Whatever Views And Approach I Have.

Although The Butterfly And The Caterpillar Are Completely Different, They Are One And The Same.

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.
