We got extremely lucky. It's a tough business to work with.
I feel like I made it already, because I got already what everybody on the corners of the neighborhood I grew up in is striving to get.
Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
When you hot as a oven, they embrace you with open arms. When you cold as a freezer. n*****rs treat you like they don't need ya.
When you get money you're always a target because there's always somebody who needs money out there.
A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.
If you stay in one place, you can only rap about one thing because that's all you know.
I've seen and learned enough to keep my music fresh and spread out.
I have family in Ponce. It's a shame that my grandfather passed and I wasn't able to be there with him.
I roll with Ladies just as tropic as the chronic in my pocket Cop it, Crush it, Roll it, Spark it, and mix it in with the chocolate
When I say 'The Hunger For More', it could be referring to more success. It could be more money, or respect, more power, more understanding. All of those things lead up to that hunger for more, because my more isn't everybody else's more. I feel like I made it already, because I got already what everybody on the corners of the neighborhood I grew up in is striving to get. God forbid anything happen to me, my family is straight. So anything that happens after this is just me progressing as a person.
I see myself as a flashlight in the dark. I'm not trying to be overlooked anymore.
