As a musician, you write and make music as you go. It's definitely in a great sequence. When you release songs, you think, "Let me make sure this goes with this so it's like a story."

It's not my business to raise anybody else's kids. Mom and Dad got to do all that.

I knew about the music. I got that part but I wanted to know the business, I wanted to know about royalties, how people got paid, producers and stuff like that so I read all those books like twice.

When I don't have to do out on tour I go to church. Church is a good place to be.

I'm still doing me. I try to come up with different concept for my shows, you gotta keep the people interested, but I'm still me.

I never stopped grinding. I never stopped hustling. I never stopped working. I just kept moving. It has nothing to do with the money or anything like that. It's just that I love music.

I'm not old school, like, "Aw, man, I gotta do my music like I did in '98." I just go with the flow. I don't try to change anything.
