I Guess Something That You Love To

I Began To Fear That Mos Def Was Being Treated As A Product, Not A Person, So I've Been Going By Yasiin Since '99. At First It Was Just For Friends And Family, But Now I'm Declaring It Openly.

If It's Just Fame For The Sake Of Being Famous, No One Even Cares About You - And You Don't Even Care About Yourself Because You're Like, "this Is So Ridiculous."

I Don't Wanna Get Into That Space Where A Lot Of Guys Now, Their Solo Album Is Like Eight Or 10 Songs With Other People, You Don't Get An Idea Of Who This Guy Is. I Just Wasn't Interested In That.

I Feel Like Being Into The Beat Of Your Own Drum Has Become Too Prominent In The Culture.

Why Do I Need I.d. To Get I.d.? If I Had I.d. I Wouldn't Need I.d.
