I think success is being exactly who God called us to be and fighting to your death to live that out.

I know specifically me being somebody who has had most of my experiences within the black church, that's cultural... you gotta put on your church clothes when you got to church...and it's nothing wrong with that - that's absolutely fine! But I think what's happening to a new generation ,the hip hop generation, there's astigmatism, a feeling that I'm unwelcome.

I love the church, the church that God is establishing, that Jesus died for, so I'll never have any negative things to say about His church.

If you plan to excel in big things, you have to develop the habit in the small ones.

If I'm learning something, that's all I want to talk about.

I think we all have room to grow. I think every Christian really does need to take up their cross in a lot of areas of life and say, "Man, listen, regardless of what kind of backlash I'm going to get, I need to stand for what I believe in."

As I grew older I found that I really had a knack for rhyming and I pursued that. So by thirteen I got serious about using my writing and rhyming skills. I did it everywhere I could.
