I have received 16 Grammy nominations and I have no trophies, because I chose to write the harsh realities. I stayed true to myself and I've taken a little beating behind it.

Every negative is a positive. The bad things that happen to me, I somehow make them good. That means you can't do anything to hurt me.

I'm not a gangster, I'm not a thug.. I'm just me and if I feel like someone is trying to hurt me.. yeah I'm gonna hurt 'em.. if you come and you ain't coming right I'm gonna blow your head off.

Just be confident. I think confidence is the most attractive part of a person.

The only excuse for being broke is being in Jail.

I feel like you can will yourself into a good space. Things that are meant to happen, will. If you believe in yourself enough, you can help yourself learn. You can inspire yourself in ways to discipline yourself to a point where you CAN become good enough.

Ambition is a tunnel that you run through that doesn't end.
