I don't write hits for myself, or for other artists, or to just be writing it. I write it because I was born to do this. I was given this gift and I'm making the most of my opportunity.

My hard work finally catching up with perfect timing

I always hung around older dudes. I feel like I was more wise and I just had more knowledge of what was going on.

When I played football, basketball and baseball, I was always a starter. I played baseball as the number three or number four hitter. Playing baseball, I was the third baseman or pitcher. Football, I was the quarterback. I was always versatile. It came to me naturally. It was always easy.

Everybody just needs a second chance.

You know that I can make hits. You know I can do all these rap records. So, I'm going to start opening up and letting you know my struggles.

It's the timing. I don't have to do it [drugs] all the time.
