I’d rather remain anonymous than have a huge chain and spit game to the hottest chick Why waste time chasing fame playing politics, When I could change lives like a trained oncologist? Set examples for the youth that follow us And pray everyday for the children of Somalia This is for my little cousin Nadia Fighting leukemia, she’s stronger than a lot of us Ask yourself what you’re living for Is it all about greed and getting more Make a difference in a life that isn’t yours That’s exactly what I got into the business for
