I don't really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel

Look inside my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich. Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exists.

The one in front of the gun lives forever

As I've grown as an artist, I've learned that my mission statement is really self-expression. I don't want anybody to classify my music. I want them to say, "This is somebody who's recognizing his true feelings, his true emotions, ideas, thoughts, opinions, and views on the world, all on one record." I want people to recognize that and to take it and apply it to their own lives. You know what I'm saying? The more and more I get out and talk to different people, I realize they appreciate that - me being unapologetic in whatever views and approach I have.

We're all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.
