“The further I go, I still feel equally further from my eventual goal. Because as I grow, I get more goals. I’m never content.”

I no longer bury demons, I be a vessel for the truth until I’m barely breathing, I’m singing.

Every loser gotta win and every winner gotta lose someday.

I keep my head high, I got my wings to carry me. I don’t know freedom, I want my dreams to rescue me.

You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.

And the strongest drug of them all – Love.

I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

A little jealousy in a relationship is healthy. It’s always nice to know someone is afraid to lose you.

In a game full of liars it turns out that I’m the truth. Some say that rap’s alive. It turns out that I’m the proof.

I swear I walk with God, but the devil keeps following.

They say time is money but really, it’s not. If we ever go broke, time is all we got.

You have to hurt in order to know. Fall in order to grow. Lose in order to gain. Because most of life’s lessons are learned in pain.

To appreciate the sun, you gotta know what rain is.

Take a chance, because you never know how perfect something can turn out.

I walk along this long harbor of life and sit on the piers, reflect on my pain and sh*t on my fears.

For a few minutes you made me feel as if I actually meant something to someone.

We got dreams and we got the right to chase ’em.

Do ghosts get tired of haunting? Of chasing old flames in darkness, of walking through dreams casting shadows against walls, against hearts, do they feel themselves forgotten?

I feel I have a responsibility to myself, a responsibility to explain where we’re coming from. Because a song or the performance of a song is a lot like a work of art.

I’m gonna try and change the course of hip hop again.

When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That’s what I wanted to do.

Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.

I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

When something good comes your way, you better feel fortunate, because it doesn’t last forever.

The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.
