I Planned My Success. I Knew It

I'm Pretty Mutable As A Human Being.

I Have An Apartment In Brooklyn - I Guess I Call It My Shrine. I Go There To Create And Recoup, Or Hibernate Sometimes, But My Home Is In Dallas Where I Live With My Children.

It's Almost Like A Lot Of Black People In America, A Lot Of Young Black Men, Are Born With This Cloud Over Their Heads. It's Their Penitentiary Cloud, This Philosophy We All Have, That It's Harder For Us.

My Paternal Grandmother Gave Me The Courage To Investigate Things And Not Take Things At Face Value Or Judge People By What I First Imagine Them To Be.

We As Black People Have To Tell Our Own Stories. We Have To Document Our History. When We Allow Someone Else To Document Our History The History Becomes Twisted And We Get Written Out. We Get Our Noses Blown Off.
