You have to be somewhat crazy, if you want to be successful.

Let your soul lead the way, cause I'm that enemy that you can't see.

Nearly every black man faces an unacceptable level of violence in this society. I'm not different. Money can shield you; it can protect you. But it doesn't make you white.

Fans made me. The fans gave me a chance, and they made me. Beyond that, my career has been trials and tribulations and ups and downs, so I have to have true fans riding with me.

I think that you have to believe. That's one of my biggest mantras, is believe. I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in myself.

At an early age, I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it, I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.

Don't chase the paper, chase the dream.
