Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track

He’s a normal person — he has those thoughts about fame and stuff but he realises that if that were his reason to create music, he’d felt like Uncle Sam’s bitch.

There is more to hip-hop, read writing, than those things which define America.
