As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it’s the cycle of giving and getting.

It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap. If you want to be a lawyer, see yourself as a lawyer, go to the library and start learning the law. If you want to be a rapper, start rapping and get out there. Live your life as if you already are where you want to be.
Interpretation
Success comes from hard work and believing in yourself.
This quote emphasizes that achieving one’s goals requires active effort and dedication. Simply wishing for success without putting in the necessary work is futile; instead, one must embody the identity of their aspirations and start taking practical steps towards them, whether it’s studying, practicing, or engaging with the relevant community.

So I think in the future, America has a great, great opportunity, and mostly because of hip-hop.
"...piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won't in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you'll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning "to flow with abundance". So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world."
I'm right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age ...if only each generation would realize that the time for greatness is right now when they're alive ... the time to flower is now.
The special ops guys and the firefighters around the world have this great phrase. They say, 'Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast,' and that is true. Everything I've accomplished in my life has been because of that attitude.

Your attitude determines your actions, and your actions determine your accomplishment.
There is a place in God's sun for the youth "farthest down" who has the vision, the determination, and the courage to reach it.
