Never knew what a friendship was, Never knew how to really love, You can't be what I need you to, & I don't know why I fuck with you ↗

What makes me furious, not just because we're in an interview, but I don't like when writers take your words and put them somewhere else, in the wrong context in their own article about you. ↗

Anything that had to do with art I been doing all my life. It was a gift. It's nothing I work real hard at doing. ↗
