My Real Name's Rakim - My Parents

We Could Fight The Fuss Till We Get Like Friends, Or Somebody Bite The Dust And We Split Like Ends. Even In Our Wildest Moments, Girl, I'm On It Cause You're Worth It. Practice Makes Perfect, So We Fightin' For A Purpose.

When I Started, I Was 23 Years Old Directing My Own Music Videos; I'm Co-producing On My Album; I'm Hands-on With Everything. I'm More Than Just A Pretty Boy: I'm An Artist. I'm Not Saying I'm A Hip-hop Music Artist, I'm An Artiste.

You Ready? I Have Gold Teeth, I Have Braids, I'm Wearing Rick Owens Moon Boots, I Have Rips In My Denim, A Biker Vest, I Love Artsy Girls, My Favourite Artists Are Jimi Hendrix And John Lennon. I'm Obsessed With Being Different.

I Haven't Been A Gay Activist. I Haven't Protested For Gay Rights Or None Of That, But One Thing I Can Say Is That A Lot Of The Designers I Wear Are Gay And I Like Their Clothes.

There's Just So Much Out There And So Much Inspiration... I Just Want To Be Tasteful.
