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

A lot of things come with fame, whether it’s losing friends or losing family. You still gotta stand up and be that guy even when you ain’t having great things. Because you’ve gotta be the spokesperson for your people.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

Open your eyes, I’m a BLESSING in disguise.

I used to hit the kitchen lights, cockroaches everywhere. Hit the kitchen lights, now it’s marble floors everywhere.

All my albums always go with the times.

I don’t just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain’t got no sense of direction. I’m trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street.

Politics isn’t only about government. Politics is about the people.

If I’m gonna put a message out there, I want to make sure I stay consistent. I’m up on my game, because I said it. People take your words and they live by them.

A lot of people question how talented I am. But I’m a real dude and I know real things and I’ve seen real people get their head blown off.

It’s not the average people that come to my show.

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.

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground.

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It’s permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable.

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man–the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.

You don’t pick dance. Dance picks you.

Life is a dance – make it beautiful.
