I Don't Cook, 'cause I Don't Know

In Harlem, I Got All My Black Friends. But When I Go Downtown, I Got Black, White, Asian, Indian Friends. There's No Borders, No Barriers.

Everybody Should Be Able To Enjoy Their Life, Because You Only Live Once. So I Just Want To Get It All Out There And Be The Best Role Model That I Can Be, If People Want To Put Me In That Kind Of Predicament. I Mean, I Didn't Ask To Be A Role Model, Because I'm Not Perfect.

My Real Name's Rakim - My Parents Named Me After The God Mc Himself.

I Want To Inspire People To Really Open Up Their Minds And Not Be One-sided Or Biased Or Hypocritical.

I'm A People's Person, Believe It Or Not. I Just Have A Dark Side To Me, Which We All Do.
