Black and brown pride have been taught in my household for a long time.

When I went back to my old high school, all these kids looking at me like I'm the real big homie, the same way I look at Jay Z, Nas, or Dr. Dre. You would've thought Michael Jackson walked through that joint off the excitement that they had.

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

Tupac, Biggie, Jay. Your usual suspects. These were the people that was played in my household.

We're in the last days, man - I truly, in my heart, believe that. It's written. I could go on with biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it's about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me.

When everybody looks at our generation of kids, they always call us the misfits - you know, like we just don't give a damn.

When I ask OGs why there's so much division in the streets, nobody never really knows. But you know one thing that everybody always mention? A woman.

As a kid from Compton, you can get all the success in the world and still question your worth.

I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that's what I'm going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done.

God to me is love.
