Quote by Killer Mike

“I've been a sinner and a saint. If you've been a saint all your life, it's pretty easy to sleep at night. If you've been a sinner, you're just as comfortable in it.

I have to come back and have the conversation that you usually try not to have with yourself. That's how it gets resolved.”
