God's the seamstress that tailor-fitted my pain.

Sleep is for those who are broke

When a person completely has nothing but negative interest in you and would like nothing more than to see you in the worst situation possible, then why would you consistently go toward that energy?

I was born alone and I will die alone. I've got to do what's right for me and not live my life the way anybody else wants it.

I have the opportunity to do something positive, I want to stay positive. It's hustling backwards in my eyes when I can earn money legitimately. This is what I want to do.

When I fell in love with hip-hop, there was a terminology at the time called "battling." All that was just battling with other artists, but after Tupac and those incidents when it spilled into the street and turned into a negative situation, battling turned into a beef. A whole new dynamic.

At first, my love was just to be in the studio and make the music and enjoy it when I hear it played back, but then the biggest thing for me was to see the response of the people. When you go out and see the energy in the crowd, it's incredible.
