Anything that's not positive, I don't have the energy to focus on it. Anything that's not going in the right direction, I don't have the time or the energy.

When I was a kid, nobody in my family had a car. And I didn't have many toys. The only toys I had were the ones I would steal.

Do dirt, get dirt. So I treat people with the same respect that I want.

I'm a King. Regardless of what I've been through and what I've done, I present myself as a King. And I get that respect from people, from everybody I deal with. I worked my whole life to establish that respect and make sure I get that respect.

I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.

My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger. He's always had his hand on me. He always guided me. I didn't always go where he wanted me to go. But He always had me. Now that I'm actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better.

Every day, I get closer to God. Every day, my will to do the right thing gets stronger.

My mom put me away at 7. I enjoyed it... Being in institutions, I got three meals a day, clothes.

I'm glad that young black people are successful with the music. I'm not a hater.

The truth doesn't change. It was the same when Moses got the Ten Commandments as it is today. That's the thing about the truth. That's the thing about real. It doesn't change and it doesn't have to change. Now you can put it in a different book, but it's still real. It's still the truth.
