Time is long but life is short.

My mother had a rule, obviously, that I couldn't go across the street by myself, but I had to find a way of doing it.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

Rap to me is a modern blues. But until we really confront the truth, we are going to have a Tupac or Eminem or Biggie Smalls to remind us about it - and thank God.

All I ever wanted to do was music, and all I've ever asked, as I've gotten to know and discover the world more, is that God would use me in any way to encourage and inspire love and inspire people to bring and give love to each other.

Problems have solutions.

You can't hear me? Read my lips!
