I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success, but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.

Worrying is stupid. It's like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain.

Cry as much as you want to, but make sure when you're finished, you never cry for the same reason again
