I think Sean Parker damaged the music business with Napster.
If I didn’t smell so good would you still hug me?
I love you like a fat kid love cake.
I’ll break your face, have your ass mumbling to the jay, you going against me dawg you makin a mistake. I’ll split your wig and leave you open like a mickeal jackson jacket with all them zippers.
I need you. I need you to hate, so I can use you for your energy.

I make music cuz it’s almost like I can escape everything I was involved in. All I gotta do is make music. I don’t do nothin but make music.

I don’t have a problem removing people from around me. They could be around for a long time, and I could get comfortable or used to them, and then I can just get rid of them.
50 Cent is a metaphor for “change”. But originally it was a gangster from Fort Greene Projects named 50 Cent and I took the name when he passed and because he’s not active, I thought it’d be cool to take it.
