I was Captain Kirk, walkin' with a black t-shirt.

I was to blame, my life never been the same.
A true story; I tell ya, it'll never bore me.

I think people respond to truth. 'Straight Outta Compton' made $60 million over the weekend, right? That's not just a black audience. 'Empire' grew every single week.
