My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.

My fans have always loved my metaphors.

Soon as I see her walk up in the club, I'm a flirt. Winking eyes at me, when I roll up on them dubs, I'm a flirt. Sometimes when I'm with my chick on the low, I'm a flirt. And when she's wit her man looking at me, damn right, I'm a flirt.

Just listen to all this sweet, sweet music. I'm working the music.

Within all of us there is a storm. Some believe it will never end: but he who has faith in the heavens above will weather any storm.

I wouldn't be able to do the songs as long as I've been doing if I didn't feel the pulse of the world. But I can feel people and I know what they want. I feel like I know how they are, because I am the people. And I just have a gift.

You are the world's greatest, when you say you are.
