I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.
All of the young people – the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they’re weird or they don’t have hype around them – need to get some shine.
