America is fascinated with seeing people have nothing and turn it to something.

They see me rollin’, they hatin’

There are certain fans who want me to rap about the same exact thing, but it's time to grow up.

I just sit there and try to think of stuff that I could do that's a little different but still not step outside of who I am.

If you go down to Texas, people are real proud about and they rep Texas.

I go out in the streets, and I go to shows, and I see my fans turn from "I like your last rap" to "I feel your movement; you're keeping it all the way real." One thing I've always said is that's never been my story, and I'm not going to go back on my word.

I'll step in an airport just now, and people will recognize me. I'm in Harlem on 144th and whatever, and people are coming up to me like, "What's up, Chamillionaire?" And seeing it grow is, nothing turning into something, that feeling is a really good feeling.
