You've got to be happy with yourself. You can't sell yourself if you're out here and you ain't good. Because you're giving people messages, and if your message is wrong, then it's like the blind leading the blind.

I'm a motivational speaker.

That's why I like to read a lot. That's why I try to keep up on current events, what's going on in the world with the elections and the politicians and business people, because I feel like it's my duty to spread that. I feel like it's my duty to speak on that even if I'm never asked, because I'm representing the people. I don't want to be in a position where I have no knowledge.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family.

I ain't a rapper; I'm a motivational speaker. I don't do shows; I do seminars. I really talk to people.

I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.

With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
