• We knew we'd be together, we didn't know when,
  But long distance love, never thought it would end.

  So I say, 'Good luck,' and then I say, 'Good night.'

Them hooks like sellin' dope to black folks, And I choke when the food they serve ain't tastin' right, My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it.

• I feel certain God loves me just the way I am, and I have a huge sense of calling to communicate that to young people.
