The more my fans know about my past, the more they'll be able to predict and understand some of the moves I make in the future.
If you don't have finances to jump on opportunites or at least room to support yourself while you're tryin to move into new situations then you can't even evolve.
Move before you think you are ready. It is as if you are making it a little more difficult for yourself, deliberately creating obstacles in your path When you feel that you must work harder to get to your goal because you are not quite prepared, you are more alert and inventive. This venture has to succeed and so it will.
Power is confidence. The confidence to deliver your answer when you're in a board meeting is what will allow you to move up faster. The confidence to be yourself in front of people creates a separation.
True hustlers are prepared to get hustled and know when to change positions and move to something different and aren't afraid.
Jim screamed at me. But I deserved it. Right, Jim?
I believe people have a little more interest in reading what I'm saying or hearing me speak because they know I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. Because I give them the truth.
I'm really sensitive. And they don't understand that, because my most comfortable feeling is anger. So I'll get angry if you said something to hurt my feelings or you're making me uncomfortable, I'll get angry, and be ready to do something about it.
The public is never wrong. When people don’t respond to what you do, they’re telling you something loud and clear. You’re just not listening.
The State of New York City says in defense you can use as much force as you feel like the person that is coming for you with. So if I'm wrong than the law is wrong. That's really the way I felt.
You can do all them push-ups to pump up your chest, I got a 12 gauge Mossberg to pump up your chest, Have you gasping for air after that shell hit your vest. Fear me like you fear God, 'cause I bring death.
God's the seamstress that tailor-fitted my pain.
In business there's people who have talent and there's people whose talent is to take advantage of people who have talent.
Now I am in to fat chains, sex and techs, fly new chicks, new kicks, I love you like a fat kid love cake.
