I just think a hustler's ambition is that I never stop. I start off hustling and said I'll never stop hustling. An ambitious hustler is the one to hustle the hustlers. When I grew up, my heroes were hustlers. Now I'm their hero.
You gotta have life your way. If you ain't losing your mind, you ain't partying right.
My hustle is nonstop. I never stop hustling.
As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.
I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain't going the way they should go, they let you know... and when they happy, you gotta keep 'em happy.
In my heart, I'm 100% real. You can't pull out nothing in my past that can say I'm not 100% real.
I think I got a lot of life skills; I got a lot of wisdom; I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a lot of good people.
All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.
When you a ghetto star, when you a hood star, you gonna take care of your grandmother, your mother. When you on that next level, you gotta take care of the city, the streets.
In middle school, I had an '87 Regal. That was unheard of.
Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.
I'm a motivational speaker.
I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
I don't know how to be a rapper. I just know how to be me.
Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain't productive, I get concerned.
I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.
When you're trying to bring the streets into rap to prove a point, then you already lost. You separate the two, and that ain't to be played with. You've got people that lost their lives and people that are doing real time. If we gon' make music, let's just make music.
When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I'ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain't gon' make it no more.
Anything that looks good makes you feel better.
I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.
