I have a romantic side.
I'm not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain't me.
I love you like a fat kid love cake.
I had to overcome challenge after challenge in order to take my life from nothing to living my dreams.
Ya'll know what you need to do? Get together, make a We Are The World record.
I think either you're creative or you're not. In general, I don't think you need to be in pain to actually be creative unless you're writing love songs. Then you might need to have some ups and downs within your emotions to start to capture that.
If you're familiar with my man Uncle Sam, you understand the only way you can actually feel better about what he's gonna take, come the end of the year, is lifestyle. Only thing you can do is spend some of it.
Show no love, cause love will get you killed.
For me success was always going to be a Lamborghini. But now I've got it, it just sits on my drive.
I am what I am; you can like it or love it. It feels good to blow fifty grand and think nothing of it.
Look into the windows of my soul. The eyes never lie, they bloodshot red.
Every morning I wake up in a home where Mike Tyson previously laid in the bed and he earned over $500 million his career. It makes me conscious.
I need you. I need you to hate, so I can use you for your energy
Without music I wouldn't have the ability to be in business. The opportunity to be in business came with the finances from music and the notoriety that comes with being successful as an artist. So I see myself as an artist first, but I'm absolutely conscious of business.
