I'm a reflection of the community.

I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society.

I am society's child. This is how they made me and now I'm sayin' what's on my mind and they don't want that. This is what you made me, America.

Of course I'm going to say 'I'm a thug,' that's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here!

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots.

I grew up in a Hindu household but went to a Roman Catholic school. I grew up with a mother who said, 'I'll arrange a marriage for you at 18,' but she also said that we could achieve anything we put our minds to an encourage us to dream of becoming prime minister or president.
