Finding peace Quote by Nas
“So much to write and say, yo I don't know where to start. So I'll begin with the basics and flow from the heart. I know you think my life is good cause my diamond piece but my life been good since I started finding peace. I shouldn't even be smiling, I should be angry and depressed. I been rich longer than I been broke, I confess I started out broke, got rich, lost paper then made it back. Like Trump being up down up, play with cash.”
