I'm hands-on with everything, always trying to reach the real people.

The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion; anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. It's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what I mean? It's about reality and life.

I think the greatest thing about America is the American Dream.

I haven't accomplished nothing yet - I have a long way to go.

I decided to do what I do when I was 2 years old. At 2 years old, you know, I heard the sound of a drum playing in the village, and I found my own drum and just picked it up and started playing, the worst song ever written by Wyclef Jean.But it actually started a vibe.

I'm not going away fast; I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.
