Meaning
He had all the odds against him and he used it to his advantage:
- He’s a young, black male who made it out of a rough city.
- He was poor, but still went to college and graduated.
- He proved that he wasn’t just another garbage rapper trying to make it.
All the points revert to his music talents; he used them all to his advanatge by become a great lyrisct and a humble rapper. .
