“The craziest thing is that the song [“My President”] is real but you can still hear it in the club.”

Real recognize real, I suppose.

Let’s say your past is your present and your present is your cash, So I look forward to the future.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there – and bigger.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

Honestly, I’m on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain’t productive, I get concerned.

As long as I’m not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I’m glad I’m not an MC. I’m a motivational speaker. I’m not that rapper dude.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain’t going the way they should go, they let you know… and when they happy, you gotta keep ’em happy.

I’ve pretty much done records with everybody.

Married to the game. If we’re dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

I ain’t never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I’m a motivational speaker.

Love don’t love nobody got me feeling like, I shouldn’t love myself.

It definitely changed the game. I happen to be in the game around [the time] when the internet kicked in.

When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.

Don’t blame me. Tell your mom to move closer. Tell her there’s this new club called civilization and you guys should join.

You can feel when something’s authentic, and you can feel when it’s not: you know when someone’s trying to make the club record, or trying to make the girl record, or trying to make the thug record. It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates. I had a poor year, but even if I had hit .350, this would have been my last year. I was full of aches an pains and it had become a chore for me to play. When baseball is no longer fun, it’s no longer a game.

That’s why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club.

Everyone needs some time to unwind. There are even coloring book clubs popping up in every state now, so it’s not such an isolating experience.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

Stay out of the gentlemen’s clubs. Get a lot of rest. Just have fun and relax and stay focused.

Now that I’m an old, old veteran-age 29-I do things a lot differently. I don’t go to the gentlemen’s clubs anymore. I had to slow that down.
