One day it'll all make sense.

I love black thighs, you sisters better realize That real hair and real eyes get real guys. So before you makeup your face, you better make up your mind.

I sit and think with a drink about how I'm gonna win.

My mom has obviously had a powerful influence on my life and her voice can describe certain things that I couldn't see in myself.

To me to be a storyteller is you got to be able to speak the truth. You've got to be able to absorb life and take in life and be able to interpret it in a way that anybody in this room could say, "Man, that's my story. I can relate to that."

I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand, but instead was given a bullet.

I just want people to feel like they can achieve something great in their lives. We all go through rough times, but love is the antidote. You've got to dream and just believe in yourself. And if you believe, you will achieve it.
