“I always try to make my next song better than the last.”

Never speak twice on how you feel.

You probably can overcome what you’re going through from listening to my music.

Time is money I ain’t wasting time.

I try to keep my kids with me everywhere I go.

I have all bad days. I think I need help. I got an anger problem.

I know when people are with me or not. It’s an instinct.

Hurt ain’t never stopped a thing pain always kept us rolling.

You can get to know me through my music.

I’m committed to my family.

You can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped. And you can’t love someone that doesn’t want to be loved.

I wanted to try a different way of making music. That’s what made me try different things with my voice.

I just know what I go through, and I know how to speak on it in an interesting way.

You will never grow if you can’t admit your wrongs and learn from your mistakes.

I don’t really talk that much. I just watch and observe.

I ain’t got nothing to prove to nobody.

I don’t like my music. I’ll make a song, and if I do like it, I’ll feel it, but after that 10th play, I don’t like it no more.

To hone my voice, I read everything, from books to cereal boxes, three times: once for fun, the second time to learn something new about the writing craft, and the third time was to improve that piece.

Done is better than perfect.

Never at any point did I feel like missing a training session. I was very keen on improving as a cricketer and as an international player.

God is busy making you someone no one else has ever been.

I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. It’s my way of letting off steam. I do it after every century; I do not do it always. I keep telling myself: ‘Improve, improve from the previous match, the previous shot. You can do it.’

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.

It’s important to relax and not put too much pressure on oneself, players must be patient when striving to improve.

The problem with most people! Is that you’re not obsessed with improvement.
