That most of you say you want to be successful, but you don't want it bad. You just kinda want it. You don't want it badder than you wanna party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep!

Some of you with the way you running right now, the way you working, you will be extinct.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.

The problem with most people! Is that you're not obsessed with improvement.

I kind of grew up with hip hop and of course being from Detroit I'm a Motown man. Music is in our blood. When you're from Detroit, music is in your DNA.

Stop looking for permission to pursue your dreams! They are YOUR dreams and you don't need a co-signer to chase them!

One of the things I know about my family, my generation, and my ethic background is that we put in work and I'm not just talking about just to eat. You have to think about the civil rights movement, they were putting in work; marching, walking miles and miles, sacrificing, getting on the bus, feeding one another, they had schools, voter registration, they were working! They were hard workers so my advice is to work.
