Shit and that's all I I was gonna another nigga but, it ain't really a poem, I just felt it's something you probably could relate to. than that, now that I finally got a chance to holla at you, I always wanted to ask you a certain situa About a actually, you spoke on the ground. What you mean 'bout that, the ground represent?
The ground is gonna up and swallow the evil. how I see it, my word is bond. I see and the is the symbol for the poor people, The poor people is gonna open up this world And up the rich people. 'Cause the rich people gonna be so fat, gonna be so appetizing, You know I'm saying, wealthy, appetizing. The poor gonna be so and hungry You know I'm saying it's gonna be like There might be some out this mutha, they might eat the rich
so let me ask you this then, Do you see yourself as somebody that's Or somebody made the best of their own opportunities?
I see myself as a born hustler, A true hustler in every sense of the word. I took I the opportunities, I worked at the most menial and degrading job And built myself up so I could get it to where I it. I from having somebody manage me To me hiring the person that my management company. I everything I realized my destiny in a matter of five years You know I'm saying I made myself a millionaire. I made millions for a lot of now it's time to make millions for myself, You what I'm saying. I millions for the record companies, I made millions for these movie companies, now I millions for us
And through your different of success How would you say you to keep a level of sanity?
By my in God, by my faith in the game, And by my faith in all good things come to those that true. You know I'm saying, and it was happening to me for a reason You know I'm saying, I was noticing, I was the right buttons and it was happening. So no problem, you know I mean it's a problem but I'm not finna let them know. I'm finna go through
Would you consider yourself a at heart Or somebody that only reacts when they is against the wall?
I like to think at every opportunity I've ever been threatened with it's been met with resistance. And not only me but it goes down my tree. You know what I'm saying, in my veins to fight back
well, how long you think it take before niggas be like, We fighting a war, I'm fighting a war I win and I wanna lay it all down
In country a black man only have like 5 years we can exhibit maximum strength And right now while you a teenager While you still or while you still wanna lift weights, While you still shoot back. 'Cause once you turn 30 it's like they take the and soul out of a man Out of a man in this country. And you don't wanna no more. And if you believe me you can look around, You see no loud mouth 30-year old muthafuckas
That's crazy, because me being one of your offspring of the legacy you behind I can truly tell you there's nothing but turmoil goin' on So I wanted to ask you what you think is the for me and my generation today?
I think niggas is tired-a grabbin' shit out the stores And next time it's a riot there's gonna be bloodshed for I don't America can know that I think American think we was just playing and it's be some more playing But it gonna be no playing. It's be murder, you know what I'm saying, It's gonna be Nat Turner, 1831, up in this muthafucka. You know I'm saying, it's gonna happen
That's crazy man. In my only hope that we kinda have left Is and vibrations Lotta people don't how important it is. I be like, get behind a mic And I don't what type of energy I'mma push out, Or where it comes from. Trip me out
Because the spirits, we ain't rappin' We just letting our dead homies tell for us
I wanted to read one thing to you. It's actually something a good had wrote describing my world. It
"The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets conceived it Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it, in order to protect itself from mad city While consuming its environment the begins to notice ways to survive One thing it noticed is how the world shuns him, but praises the butterfly The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness, and the beauty the caterpillar But having a harsh outlook on life the caterpillar the butterfly as weak And figures out a way to pimp it to his own surrounded by this mad city The caterpillar goes to on the cocoon which institutionalizes him He can no longer see his own thoughts He's When trapped these walls certain ideas start to take roots Such as going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad The Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling free, the butterfly sheds light on situations That the caterpillar never considered, ending the eternal Although the butterfly and are completely different are one and the same."
