Quotes

The voice that U hear is the alchemy of Ur mind.

What if half the things ever said / Turned out to be a lie / How will you know the truth / If you were given all the answers / And you stopped to wonder why. . .

Music is music, ultimately. If it makes you feel good, cool.

No one can come and claim ownership of my work. I am the creator of it, and it lives within me.
