I Love The Energy That Comes When

When I Sit Here And See That The Eight Brothers From The Neighborhood That I Grew Up With Still Have Success, It Had To Be Magical.

I Think That's A Weak Excuse, To Say Because A Rapper's Getting Older That He Ain't Got It No More. Nah. Don't Go By That Philosophy. Let's Just Recognize That Talent Is Within.

Growing Up In Music Motivated Me. I Applied That To My Education And It Made Me A Better Person.

When You Grow Up In That Environment Of Drugs And Guns And People Gettin' Hurt, It Start To Reflect Your Background. And I Think, At That Time When I Was Doin' It, That's All I Knew. But As I Got Older In The Business, I Stopped Bein' Involved With That, And I Started To Look At The World. And I Said, 'yo, I Wanna Start Talkin' About Everything That Goes On In The World. I Don't Wanna Just Limit Myself To One Style'.
