People where we come from hear so many lies that the truth stands out like a sore thumb.

It sits out there like a sore thumb.

Why do you think the fans like us - why they prefer our street raps over all that phony stuff out there? Because we're telling the real story of what it's like living in places like Compton. We're giving them reality. We're like reporters. We give them the truth.

In this world, even when trying to fit in, we stand out... Because we make it obnoxiously clear that we are only trying to fit in. Are you standing out like a sore thumb or a blossoming rose?

God stands out in the universe as the most glaring of all superfluous sore thumbs.

The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.
