The struggles I'm facing, The chances I'm taking, Sometimes might knock me down, But no, I'm not breaking.

Believe it or not, I thank my mom for how she raised me in a neighborhood where I had to jump and chase daily. It only made me what I am today.

You better stand tall when they're calling you out, don't bend, don't break, and don't back down.

Everything in life is not all beautiful, not all fun. There is lots of killing and drugs. To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.

Five or six songs leaked from the original version of 'Encore.' So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
