I was stranded in Times Square, didn't know how I was going to get to the Greyhound to get back to Detroit just to hop in my raggedy car to drive back to school hoping that the car would make it. I'm thinking if I graduate this year with nothing I'm going to feel like a failure [...] I just prayed, 'Lord, change my situation if you feel like my situation needs to be changed.' Then I ran into Meek Mill and gave him 'Amen.

It's almost like being mad at a blind person for bumping into you. You don't get mad at the blind person for bumping into you, you show them where the seat is, so I'm more interesting in helping people understand what those terms mean verses getting mad at its misuse. It doesn't bother me. It just shows me that I need to be here doing what I'm doing.
