The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.

I was rapping at eight.

I think my kids give mommy more attention than they give me.

Having children obviously changes your priorities, but when you start to see life through these innocent eyes and seeing everything for the first time, you appreciate the small things.

I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.

I take my spoken-word stuff extremely seriously because I feel like that's true writing, true lyricism.

A lot of the girls my age were impressed by silly stuff like money and fame. I wanted to be able to have intellectual and spiritual conversations with someone who was on the same page as me.
