  1. “That to me, I already knew that he had the substance abuse. I knew he dealt with the substance abuse issues, right? But I knew that. But I didn't know the other aspect of it. So when I realized that, I'm like, oh, I get it. Because my dad was absolutely, you know. There when he was sober for the most part, or when he wasn't dealing with his own issues. But when, like I said, the way he raised me was out of fear, you know, more than love. But he definitely had his foot up my ass, like in a real way just because he didn't want me to make those same mistakes. But I always felt like. Growing up”

  2. “No, he was absent in the sense of he had his own issues that he was dealing with. And I didn't find that out until, you know, 2018, when I put out my second book, shook one, Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me, where I really opened up about a lot of my anxiety and a lot of my depression and going to therapy. I never forget it. It was Thanksgiving. It was the week of Thanksgiving 2018. And I had a younger cousin. He was like 24, 25 years old, and he tried to complete suicide four different times. And on the fourth time, he completed it. And it was the week that he completed it. And then on top of the fact, my father had just read my second book. He said to me, he called me and he said, you know, he talked about my cousins and he talked about my book. And he said, man, I was going to therapy two and three times a week. And I tried to kill myself, you know, 30 plus years ago. And, you know, I was on 10 to 12 different medications for my mental health. So when he said,”

  3. “With kids a lot, right? Like kids, they end up mirroring, you know, the parent. And I think sometimes when you see yourself in your child, if you made a lot of mistakes and, you know, you bumped your head a lot of times, man, that'll probably terrify you to see your child going down that same path. So for me, my journey would definitely have to start in Monks Corner, South Carolina and that single wide trail on that dirt road.”

  4. “Oh, you definitely got a star from the beginning. You got to start from that single wide trailer in Mounts Corner, South Carolina. You know, growing up as a young man, you know, to a great father and a great mother. I say great now in regards to my father because I understand him as a man. There was a period in my life, you know, especially when I first started going to therapy. I didn't know if I even liked him as a person, you know, because, you know, you got to question yourself. You question things that he did to you growing up, you know. I always said my dad raised me out of fear and not love, but the fear was just from the standpoint of he didn't want me to, you know, make the same mistakes that he did. And he didn't want to see me make the same mistakes that he saw a lot of people in our town making. Like, you know, the one thing that he used to always instill in me was like, if you don't change your lifestyle, you're going to end up in jail, dead, or broke sitting under the tree. And I think that's what happens.”

  5. “Those lies to other people. Like nobody even asked us, you know, when I think social media contributes to a lot of that because every day you feel like you have to feed this beast and like, you know, you might go look at your feed. And at some point, you got to ask yourself, who is this person? Or just the things that you say to people in your life as you're just growing and evolving just as a human, you might just volunteer lies, you know, for security purposes or the mask insecurities or the mask fears. And so it's just like, yo, if you don't start getting honest with yourself, you're going to die, die a liar.”

  6. “It's a play on 50 Cents Get Rich or Die Trying. I'm always going to have some old to hip hop, you know, somewhere like my last book was shook one. That was paying homage to Mob Deep. But also, just talking about how I felt my whole life when I would get panic attacks, get anxiety attacks. And get honest to die lying, that's not just to play on 50 Cents title. That's how I truly feel. It's like, yo, if you don't get honest with yourself, you're going to die lying. Like, you know, I had a, I went to a spiritual retreat back in February. Me and my wife, and that's one of the things that came up for me that weekend at the retreat. One of the things that came up for me was stop lying to yourself and stop volunteering those lies to others. And I think a lot of us do that a lot. We lied to ourselves and then we just volunteered.”

  7. “Fast forward three, four years. I'm having more success than I've ever had in my life, but I just was not happy. I was losing myself. And those suicidal thoughts just crossed your mind for no reason, you know? And even now. What am I still doing here”

  8. “I got five four times. I just collected my last unemployment check. I was scared to death, but you can't live life with fear. You gotta live life with faith. Next gig I got was the...”

  9. “Growing up, my father was telling me if you don't change your lifestyle, you would end up in jail, dead, or broke. The problem was he wasn't practicing what he was preaching when I started selling drugs. I found out he was selling drugs, then he had an affair on my mom. So I became a player because I felt I had to be like my pops. But then I ended up getting in a situation where a shooting happened and then going to jail. But I was able to finally wake up and I was smart enough to realize whatever I want to be doing five years from now, I got to start doing now.”
