Most of the people don't get their just due until they ain't here no more.

If I can go through what I've been through and do a television show with my son and then be a boy from the hood making records for the people I make records for, that's reality.

I want to be able to take care of my family.

My little cousin Jimmy told me in jail he was a drag queen.

I want to get paid for doing my job and whoever don't like it or whoever don't give me my just due then that's on them.

I think my thing is I grew up in the ghetto, and I was able to get a second chance. That's what I'm trying to tell kids.

Atlanta is a big market for me. They've always supported my music. They took care of my people during Hurricane Katrina, so I love them and I love my fans. And to be able to help and motivate the next generation, I feel like this is the place to do it.
