I started rapping when I was about 12 or 13, just playing around with it.

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 was young and so eager to make some money as well as get exposed and show my talent.

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.

Everybody was in struggle, in the grind trying to make it.

I felt like if I wasn't around, maybe my shot would be gone.

I want the world to get a feel of me, showing them the way I am and the way I get down.

I was young and felt like it was opportunity 'cause they were moving units back then on the underground scene.

I came back to the hood and got in those streets and started doing whatever it took for me to provide.

I been doing music my whole life.

If the people reveal God, He will change the heart of the king of that country

He was six years old this time, and ancient.

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor as long as you've got money.

The highest truths a person could discover were rooted in the natural world.

Design the life that you want to live.

One's weakness should not ever be revealed.

I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.

Luckily, I've never been offered a directing job that was lucrative. I've never heard, "Here's $800,000 to remake Sisters."

Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.

Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
