“I don’t have to be working on an album to record a song.”

I know I may have done some bad things, but I’m not a bad person.

Never become so involved with something that it blinds you. Never forget where you from; someone will remind you.

With the Lord behind us they’re ain’t nothing we can’t do.

Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high, cause when the time comes, that one’ll let you die.

My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger. He’s always had his hand on me.

If you’re influencing people, I think you should consider life is too precious to have them chasing the wrong things. Don’t give them jewelry, give them jewels.

The truth doesn’t change.

I’m not an industry artist – I’m an artist in the industry.

The truth is undeniable. You tell somebody the truth, it’s undeniable.”

I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.

I can reach people the average person can’t reach because I’m as grounded as I am.

The toughest guys have the biggest hearts. The biggest hearts – because they have to be tough to protect it.

Any performance I do, I give 110 percent.

I’m actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better.

I’m not going to disrespect you, don’t disrespect me.

There shouldn’t be any violence in hip-hop. You’re getting free clothes. Basically, it’s free money.

I’m free to do what I please, I’m probably not going to do albums. Just because I think releasing tracks as singles is a better way for me to stay topical.

People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.

I’ve always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it!

One of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.

I like to think that I’ve gotten better at what I do. I spend more time and pay more attention to detail album after album. But pretty much it’s stayed the same.

Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.

Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.

It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I’ve ever done, so it’s a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a bit.
