I think about every song is pretty much raw emotion - even if it's not specifically about topic there's songs like "All I Know Is Pain" and "Green Piece of Paper".

They say blood is thicker than water. Only in certain cases, you need water to live. You learn that in the basics.

I didn't cut no corners, I just gave it my heart and soul.

I didn't think it was a wise decision for me to stay once I seen my second album wasn't going to go good. I didn't like how it went out, how the singles went or anything and I just didn't see myself being successful a third time around.

Young black men had an opportunity to make money that they had never made before, so why not be flashy? I'm not mad at the flash. It just needed to be balanced.

I would never sell my soul, for cars and gold
