I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.

In life, you have people that love to party. That's me. People that love God. That's me. People that love sex. That's me. People that love people. That's me. And people that make mistakes.That's me also.

I went from a D all the way to an A plus, I tell you prayer changes things.

I wanna roll it, roll it, roll it, roll it. Is all I wanna do, for you baby. Girl, it's something kind of sexy. Goin' on about you babe.

I was the highest-paid street performer, probably, in the history of Chicago. I was making like $800 a day.

If there's no fire, there's no scream. If there's no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it.

I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.
