When the last breath leaves ya
Realize they don't die at a ripe, old age
Most are cut down in a rightful blaze (Destiny)

But that's how interviews work
Yeah
Not necessarily though
Let's ask questions. Who inspired you to come up with the hip-hop game?
Man, that's everywhere
You can get that on Wikipedia
That's true
Everything that's ever been written about me, that's question number two
Why did you wanna go on the pilgrimage you went on?
Obviously, something came, very strong, spiritually feeling, that made you want—
You're answering the question
No, I'm not
Yeah, no, no, no. Let's-let's move past—
