把这一句，留给此刻的你

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different.

我无法控制人们的想法。我不是在试图操纵人们的思想或情绪。我一直在写。你必须体验生活，进行观察，提出问题。现在嘻哈音乐的运作方式就像机器一样，我的抱负也不一样了。
