I wanna rhyme about God.
When I fell in love with music, particularly hip-hop, I listened to it in the car. In Texas, you’ve got to drive, and sometimes you wanna listen to something good. Not something that’s loud with a bunch of screaming for two minutes. That’s a different type of music.
People talk, talk, but when it’s time to fight me, they all wanna hug me.
