I feel like God blessed me to be successful and to have a couple of more things that a lot of people of where I come from didn't have or didn't see, but it ain't always about me. It's about empowering the next generation so that's what I love doing.

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.

Now my fans are older and they understand how to appreciate me the same way I appreciate them for being there for me.

I don't need to get my due; I get my money.

I feel like it's okay for us to grow up because a lot of us want to get rich and die young.

Work hard and never make excuses.
