If you don’t feel like giving up, then you haven’t begun to try.
The constant and never-ending whisper to quit is the background noise to any of life’s great successes.
THANK YOU 🙏
I CAME WITH A MESSAGE, NOT TO BE IN COMPETITIONS.
I am Shatta Wale. I didn’t come into this world to prove that I am better than anybody. I came to prove that no matter where you come from, what you go through, or how many times the world rejects you, you can still become somebody great.
My journey has never been about who is ahead of me or who is behind me. My journey is about purpose, sacrifice, faith, and the millions of people who see themselves in my story.
I didn’t come to fight for a position. I came to create a path where people who were told they would never make it could find hope.
Some people came for the awards, some came for the applause, and some came to compete. I came to deliver a message that even a boy from the streets can become a KING without anybody’s permission.
You can compare my music, question my methods, misunderstand my character, or even try to erase my contributions. But one thing you can never take away from me is the purpose God placed inside me.
I AM NOT HERE TO BE BETTER THAN ANYBODY. I AM HERE TO BE EVERYTHING GOD CREATED ME TO BE.
My life is the message. My struggles are the lessons. My success is the evidence.
I AM SHATTA WALE. I DIDN’T COME TO COMPETE. I CAME TO AWAKEN A GENERATION.
SM4LYF. GOD IS HERE. 👑
I fell to bits because of the rose,
What should I do with a rose garden?
Without you, oh, my beloved,
What should I do with life, and the world?
If anyone else in the two worlds has sight of your face
And in that moment my eyes fill with blood,
What should I do?
In remembrance of your lips, beloved
Now and again, I sip, but...
What should I do with crimson wine while
there’s blood in my heart?
What is a tulip in the desert?
Scented rose of the coquettish garden,
If your shining face isn’t there?
What should I do with the moon in the heavens?
My world and my life is you, my beloved.
Ever since I was cut from the reed bed,
My cries have caused men and women to weep.
I want a heart torn to shreds by separation,
so I may explain the pain of longing...
Half a decade of cases in 4 countries and you can’t find a SINGLE VIDEO of a girl saying I hurt her,
But you can find 25 videos of girls saying I NEVER hurt them.
I am being framed.
What a waste of a life, for a warrior like me, to live without hardship.
There is nothing more enjoyable than surviving things that were meant to destroy you.
Thank you God.
1000 pushups, 300 squats, hours of Aikido, finished the history of Stone Wall Jackson (G), written 45 letters and now I’m beginning to write my book.
How much work did you do today? Don’t be outperformed by a man in a prison cell.
Day 18 in SHU (special housing unit)
This is punitive housing for people who murder their cellmates.
No commissary, no phone calls, no yard time.
The worst possible conditions the US gov provides to terrorists and psychopaths.
I am an innocent until proven guilty extradition detainee.
I’m wanted by a foreign state.
I am an American citizen.
WHY AM I HERE?
