I'm the most sampled and stolen. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too... I got a song about that... But I'm never gonna release it. Don't want a war with the rappers. If it wasn't good, they wouldn't steal it.

I'm a ghetto man who made good. I never forgot where I came from and who put me on top - God and Jack The Rapper.

Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.

I only got a seventh-grade education, but I have a doctorate in funk, and I like to put that to good use
