Time and time again, as a boy, I was humiliated. I celebrated my first day in long pants by going to a dance where I fell sprawling on the floor, and was so ashamed that I jumped up, ran away and left my girl to get home the best way she could.
There is no finer sensations in life that which comes with victory over one's self. Go forward to a goal of inward achievement, brushing aside all your old internal enemies as you advance.
You won't really get a lot of the mainstream, lovey-dovey side because that wasn't a part of my life in the beginning.
The people I used to have around me from Nashville was showing love to the Cash Money clique on the strength of Buck trying to make it; making sure Buck gets to where he gots to go.
I been doing music my whole life.
I felt like if I wasn't around, maybe my shot would be gone.
I started rapping when I was about 12 or 13, just playing around with it.
I want the world to get a feel of me, showing them the way I am and the way I get down.
I came back to the hood and got in those streets and started doing whatever it took for me to provide.
I was young and felt like it was opportunity 'cause they were moving units back then on the underground scene.
Everybody was in struggle, in the grind trying to make it.
I was young and so eager to make some money as well as get exposed and show my talent.
This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.
Music is how you feel.
