If prisons, freight trains, swamps, and gators don't get ya to write songs, man, y'ain't got no business writin' songs.

I just swung for the fence. That's my whole philosophy in life.

If it's your time to go, it's your time to go.

What song is it you want to hear?

A man may write himself out of reputation when nobody else can do it.

Staying consistent with positive habits can be a challenge.

It's easiest to write songs when I'm either really in love or really mad at a guy. It's just always best when I'm feeling superemotional.

I don't care who gets in my way... I'm just gonna come right though and riot.

I don't want to be without God's blessings.

Childhood has it's own way of seeing, thinking, and feeling, and nothing is more foolish than to try to substitute ours for theirs.

I contend that most emotional distress is best understood as a rational response to sick societies.

Always try to understand and educate yourselves on the reasons why Allah has given you life, do that part first then enjoy the rest of life and chill out.

I am deeply reminded that our life’s journey is a gift, not a given, and that we can never truly know how long the journey will last. All we can do is decide how it unfolds.

I don't think there's anywhere to draw the line sexually.
