“To me, respect comes first.”

We’re not the cause, we’re the effect.

Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.

The reason children accept discipline from their parents is because they know their parents love them.

Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them.

Every artist wants something different out the game.

I’m focusing on the music, but I still got a cold library of books that I’ve either read or I plan on getting to.

I always wanted to operate at the highest altitude, just in terms of hip-hop and the music.

We don’t want to wait on someone to hire us and give us a check. We want to create our own opportunities.

I hope my story inspires everyone out there to keep hustling and chasing their dreams.

All the smart money got they bets on me and all the real niggas wish the best for me.

You’ve got to have faith in what you’re doing and not take no for an answer.

Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.

Being self-made means never making an excuse as to why you can’t take steps toward whatever your goal is.

Hope opportunity don’t knock when opportunists in your group.

Success to me is just being able to do what you love to do and support yourself all through.

Having strong enemies is a blessing.

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.

I got so much love for classical music and I hear so much incredible music.You should know a bunch of music and have respect for all sorts of genres and styles of music.

Self respect is impossible without liberty.

The decisions we make dictate the schedules we keep. The schedules we keep determine the lives we live. The lives we live determine how we spend our souls. So, this isn’t just about finding time. This is about honoring God with the time we have.

I think that we honor ourselves by honoring our past.

To be in love is to see yourself as someone else sees you, it is to be in love with the falsified and exalted image of yourself. In love we are incapable of honor – the courageous act is no more than playing a part to an audience of two.

Be brutal with the past, especially your own, and have no respect for the philosophies that are foisted on you from outside.

Through the ages all great men have taught truth and happiness can’t be bought.
