Everybody wants me to be the (guy) who's (sleeping with) every celebrity woman in the industry. Everybody wants me to be this (guy) in the club, popping 17 bottles just because. Everybody wants me to be Diddy, and that's not me.
As of right this second my main focus is my new album, it'll be out probably towards the summertime, predominately R&B this time. I had a little stint with the dance music and all of that, which I had a good time with- and I love the audience, I love them for accepting me doing it -but I had to go home on this one. Had to take it back to my roots, and not to say that there won't be one, maybe two songs on there that the dance crowd can get into, but the majority, the girth of the album, will be R&B.
The essence of being a gentleman is to understand the way you're supposed to treat a respectable woman.
Every song I've ever written has been based in reality, based in fact, things that happen to me.
She's super sexy everybody wanna know bout her and the one that everybody want, but no one's ever got her. Because the way she get it in all of the men, even the women all try, all try.
A lot of time we don't get into politics because we don't believe anything you're saying and we can't understand what you're saying because we ask you question and you tap dance around the issue so much that we forget what we asked.
I don't want to call myself a perfectionist because perfection is imperfection.
For those people who want to keep following trends, you do that and when the trend goes away so will you.
I honestly don't feel that it's my music that's under-appreciated. I think that it's me that's under-appreciated. As an artist, period.
What is hot now will not be hot tomorrow, I promise you. Trends are made to die. It's the truth.
My style is mainly about comfort. It has to be comfortable, it has to lay right on me, know what I mean?
There is no pain like the first time you get your heart broken.
I'm 100% real, even when what's real is ugly. I don't take any pride in covering up, hiding and lying.
Sexy as she wanna be and she dancing next so close to me. I said please excuse, you steppin on expensive shoes.
