I'm pretty sure people thought I was like a dope rapper.
When I slid into comedy, naturally the first thing I said was, "hello, I am a washed up rapper."
My freestyling ability is nonexistent. I can't even write a verse if I tried to sit anywhere and write one. Being a good rapper is hard to do. I'm a good Rapaport, but that's about it.
Bury me smilin' with G's in my pocket, Have a party at my funeral let every rapper rock it Let the hoes that I used to know, from way before Kiss me from my head to my toe, Gimme a paper and pen so I can write about my life of sin, Couple bottles of gin, in case I don't get in.
To me, I feel that my game is strong. I feel as thought I'm a shining prince, just like Malcolm, and I feel that all of us are shining princes, and if we live like princes, then whatever we want can be ours. Anything.
There ain't nothin' like a Black woman.
My music is not for everyone. It's only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It's not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it's spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It's like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I'm not saying 'We shall Overcome.' I'm saying that we are overcome.
I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn't fit in. Because I was from everywhere, I didn't have no buddies that I grew up with...Every time I had to go to a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don't fit in no matter what. If they push you out of the hood and the White people's world, that's criminal...Hell, I felt like my could be destroyed at any moment.
You reached your level, you don't want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin' with the Panthers, we were askin' in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin' are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn't be angry!?
All rappers predominantly sound the same and want you to think their meanest person in the world, and that they're all gangster and all that. My acting allowed me to be playful and crazy, and it helps me tell stories and all that. I think it's a good time; rap needs that kind of stuff.
They claim that I'm violent just cuz I refuse to be silent.
I guess cause i'm black boy, I'm supposed to say 'peace', sing songs, and get capped on.
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup, And even though you're fed up, Huh, ya got to keep your head up.
It's kinda hard to be optimistic, When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted.
They say it's the white man I should fear, But it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here.
I'm tired of being a nice guy, I've been poor all my life, but don't know quite why.
I struggle to be rugged and raw dude, trying to survive in the trials and lawsuits, Everybody wants to test me, WHY ME?
Dont blame me, I was given this world, I didn't make it.
I was raised in this society so you can't expect me to be a perferct person cause Ima do what Ima do.
And I hope I'm forgiven for Thug Livin when I die.
While I'm dreaming, Wake up screaming, Cuz I can hear them suckas scheming.
I ain't racist but lets trade places.
I bring truth to tha youth tear tha roof off tha ol' school.
No longer living in fear, my pistol close in hand, Convinced this is my year.
When I was a rapper, the groupies didn't have to try too hard with me. Just show up at the hotel.
