Just like Uncle Sam says- I want you (to be incarcerated). It's a vicious cycle.

Rest in peace Biggie and Tupac and Jay-Z say it isn't so...

No disrespect to them, do your thing, I know that’s how you pay your bills, but you’re not better than me, you’re not. You’re not gonna disrespect this real streetball. I won’t let you do it. Alimoe disrespected me man a week before we played at Rucker. He told me “I’m gonna bust your mother fucking ass,†straight like that, “and we could play for moneyâ€. “You can’t fuck with me, Corey,†straight like that. And it bothered me because I didn’t get the respect I deserved...
