I am not in this WORLD to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I FEEL that the world MUST live up to mine.

I have LEARNED silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, STRANGE, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

They say a midget standing on a giant's SHOULDERS can SEE MUCH further than the giant. So I GOT the whole rap world on my shoulders, they trying to see further than I am.

This is my BIBLE. I am what it SAYS I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Everything is a LEARNING lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the WAY THINGS are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn't change a THING!

I CHANGE my style maybe EVERY MONTH. I'm, like, punk one month, ghetto fab the next, classy the next. I'm just young and finding out who I am.

In this world of SIN and SORROW there is ALWAYS SOMETHING to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

I am very PROUD to be a Latina, because that's ALSO SOMETHING that MAKES me very unique.

I am HAPPY EVERY DAY, because life is MOVING in a very positive way.

I am very OPTIMISTIC, and I always think positive, but WITHIN REASON and never getting too far ahead of the game.

It took me QUITE a LONG TIME to DEVELOP a VOICE, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.

I am GOOD, but not an angel. I do SIN, but I am not the devil. I am just a small GIRL in a big world trying to FIND someone to love.

POSITIVE thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the WAY we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only MAKES me better, but it also makes those around me better.

There are no WORDS to EXPRESS my SORROW and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and ACTIONS. To the people I have hurt, I am TRULY sorry.
