My life is so crazy! I learned early on to really embrace change and enjoy the ride.
My coldest days, my darkest days, ain't no sun out, all I got is my fans. They the only people I ride for. Believe it or not, if you're a real Fat Joe fan, a Terror Squad fan, I do it for ya'll.

Mine was an easy ride compared to Jackie Robinson's.

I don't want a pickle, just want to ride on my motorsickle.
I don't like the negative of reality tv - the 'you're no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.' It's all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody.
