I'm on the pursuit of happiness, and I know, Everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold, Hey, I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good...

It's definitely the biggest lesson - not to take things personally. But it's also the hardest one.

I've always felt that because I'm from Cleveland, which isn't recognised as a place for hip-hop, I needed to step it up if I wanted to make myself known.

Gentle with the drugs, heavy with the love

Don't let the sadness from the past and fear of the future ruin the happiness of the present.

My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.

Once I accomplish one thing and I'm satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I'll become a kindergarten teacher.
