children careers clothes
There were times in my career I went a little further than I wanted because of expectations. Doing certain things onstage when children were in the audience, wearing certain clothes, singing certain lyrics.
left life needed
I didn't want to get back into the whole industry. I left overworked, overwhelmed, and not having any control over my life. I was bulimic and needed to heal.
gonna telling
They keep telling me that my flow's up to date, you know. I guess they thought I was gonna come back sounding... old.
constant map met posters wall
But one thing that's constant is we've always appreciated fans. They put us on the map and they keep us on the map. I always put myself in their position. If I loved someone and had their posters all over my wall and met them and they were rude it would be very hurtful.
concerts expected guys
We're feminists. We're doing something that only guys are expected to do and doin' it right! At our concerts we'll do one hard-core rap song and then do one where we'll be real sexy.
expect hard insane life looks people piece schedule touring wanting
The part you don't expect when you start out is all the people who come into your life wanting a piece of you, not caring about your wellbeing. The insane schedule is very difficult. Touring looks very glamourous but it's hard and gruelling - the travelling, the meet-and-greets - it was too crazy.
helping desperate help-me
I got to that desperate place where nobody could help me but God.
giving one-day down-and
I don't want to give the illusion that one day God came down and I was healed.
rap facts
I don't like the fact that there are so few women in rap.
stuff moments my-own
For the moment, I'm concentrating on my own stuff.
feelings emotion bulimia
For me, the bulimia was about stuffing my emotions. So I stopped suppressing my feelings.
christian wall church
Christians often want to hide behind the walls of the church, where we are comfortable, but sometimes we have to come out of the box.
events process
Change is not an event, its a process.
peace want matter
I'm at a point in my life where I have something solid now. I'm a peaceful person, and I want to be surrounded by peace no matter what I'm doing.
