I behaved so obnoxiously. But I didn’t know no better.”

I’m a JAY-Z fan, I’m a Puff fan, and they made me feel like, and you were there… The residual energy that came from coming from a slave-owned state like Virginia, I felt like I needed the validity in materialism. So, for me, I found my gravity. I found my personal gravity in material items, right? And it was only until I, like, let those things go that I realize the real true value was in my, just, straight-up love…”
