Somebody tell my fam I got a gambling problem.
I would show up at any venue that had an open mic.
Spiritual is hooked up to the invisible umbilical cord of my Lord, Kumbiya.
My dad was dead, so these streets had to raise me.
I made my first song when I was 9 years old. Just beating on garbage cans, having people beat box.
Why is everything that is bad for me feel so good?
I find myself eating different kinds of chicken each and every day, even if it's by surprise.
Lucifer, oh Lucifer, God of evil, you're the god of pain, the darkness is where you find your light.
I don't want to be too over-exposed, but then at the same time I don't want to be too out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
You don't have that many women in the industry so the lane is wide open.
The hip-hop community is made up of a lot of hustlers. Everybody is trying to get theirs, and everybody is trying to eat.
Your fans, they count on you to make wise decisions and wise choices. That's why they're your fan base. If you continually let them down, they're going to go find someone else to be fans of.
But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year; it's the greatest feeling in the world, making money and doing the things that I'm doing, and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.
You gotta get up early in the morning to mess with me. I mean, I'm a businessman first-you gotta let the business come before the music, because it's all about being a good person and your ego can't get bigger than yourself and the things you're your trying to do, especially when you're promoting an album. So I feel it's real important to be businesslike in anything I do.
