00:00Every time I speak, I want the truth to come out.
00:02You know what I'm saying?
00:02Every time I speak, I want to shiver.
00:04And even if I get in trouble, you know what I'm saying?
00:06Ain't that what we're supposed to do?
00:08I'm not saying I'm going to rule the world or I'm going to change the world,
00:11but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.
00:15And that's our job, is to spark somebody else watching us.
00:19We might not be the ones, but let's not be selfish,
00:22and because we're not going to change the world,
00:24let's not talk about how we should change it.
00:25My music, and a lot of this music, it's only talking about the oppressed rising up against the oppressor.
00:34That's what my music's about.
00:36Big business, you want to be successful, you want to be like Trump?
00:38Gimme, gimme, gimme, push, push, push.
00:41Step, step, step, crush, crush, crush.
00:43That's how it all is.
00:44I mean, if this is truly a melting pot in the country where we care about,
00:47and Lady Liberty got a hand like this, she really loves us,
00:50then we really need to be like that.
00:51And it needs to be the black kids.
00:53If there's a white person who got money, then we need to help them.
00:55You need to help black kids, Mexican kids, Korean kids, whatever.
00:59But it needs to be real.
01:01You know, if I know that in this hotel room, they have food every day,
01:06and I'm knocked on the door every day to eat,
01:09and they open the door, let me see the party,
01:12let me see like them throwing salami all over the...
01:14I mean, just like throwing food around,
01:16where they're telling me there's no food in here.
01:18You know what I'm saying?
01:19Every day, I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in.
01:22You know what I'm saying?
01:23We are hungry, please let us in.
01:25We are hungry, please let us in.
01:27After about a week, that song is going to change the...
01:30We hungry, we need some food.
01:32After two, three weeks, it's like, you know,
01:35get me under the food and we'll be breaking down the door.
01:37And after a year, then you just like, you know what I'm saying?
01:39I'm picking the lock, coming through the door, blasting.
01:41You know what I'm saying?
01:42It's like you hungry, you reached your level,
01:44you don't want any more.
01:45We asked 10 years ago.
01:46We was asking with the Panthers.
01:48We was asking with them.
01:49You know, it's civil rights movement.
01:51We was asking, you know.
01:52Now, those people that were asking, they're all dead and in jail.
01:55So now, what do you think we're going to do?
01:57Guys, speak to women with this much respect.
02:01And I deplore that.
02:03You know, all type of violence, and I get blamed for it.
02:05And I want to say that, you know, I didn't create Thug Life.
02:09I diagnosed it.
02:11You know, just like if a doctor says, this is the AIDS virus.
02:15He didn't make AIDS.
02:16He diagnosed it.
02:18You know what I mean?
02:19He won't be held responsible for every AIDS case.
02:21You know, if anything, he's bringing you information on maybe finding a cure.
02:25Because God has cursed me to see what life should be like.
