“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.”

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.

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’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.

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

I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I’m a happy man.

The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

I really didn’t consider myself happy or unhappy.

Sometimes life knocks you on your ass… get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.

Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.

Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.

In your presence there is fullness of joy.

When your every thought and your every action is directed to your ultimate life goals, you become unstoppable and assured of great success and happiness.
