You study, and then an administrator gives you a test. I got a Master's in psychology.

If you look at the movie 'Belly,' I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I'm not in the game for the wrong reasons. I'm not in the game for the glory. I'm in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I'm a highly intelligent individual.

True wealth is not of the pocket, but of the heart and of the mind.

I suffer from deep depression, so my only release is music.

I'm an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I'll go stand in the corner.

I'm never on Twitter. I'm never on Instagram. And that's not by choice: it's just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain't really been my focus.
