By the time I was a teenager, when I went outside the house, it was about hip-hop all the time. Nothing but hip-hop, block parties.

I mean, I know my heart is not clean, and your heart is not clean, and none of our urban hearts are clean. But you can be washed again.

You know a lot, but you don't know everything.

I don't know. Only God knows where the story ends for me, but I know where the story begins. It's up to us to choose, whether we win or lose and I choose to win.

Believe in yourself when nobody else does.

My responsibility to God is to live. That's the gift he gave me. What I do with it is up to me.

'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.
