Don\u2019t come to Jacksonville, Fla. if you don\u2019t know how to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>survive<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>2. I learned to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>punchline<\/strong><\/span> from Lil Wayne. His greatest song is \u201cHustler Musik.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3. I have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>111<\/strong><\/span> unanswered texts on my phone right now, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>I don\u2019t care<\/strong><\/span> to get rid of them.<\/p>\n<p>4. If you\u2019re broke, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>save when you get a chance<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>5. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Lil Poppa\u2019s <em>Blessed, I Guess<\/em><\/strong><\/span> album puts me in a more relaxed zone.<\/p>\n<p>6. Playing football as a kid taught me <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>not to be soft<\/strong><\/span> in life.<\/p>\n<p>7. Hip-hop needs more <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>freeness<\/strong><\/span> so the culture keeps elevating.<\/p>\n<p>8. The only person I really take advice from is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>my mama<\/strong><\/span> when I <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>need life advice<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>9. If you don\u2019t want smoke, then you have to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>be quiet<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>10. The first rap video I remember seeing was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Gucci Mane\u2019s \u201cVette Pass By,\u201d<\/strong><\/span> and it stood out because of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>the gutter of it<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>11. My friends know they better not <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>be pu**ies<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>12. The best food in Jacksonville comes from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>any crab shack<\/strong><\/span>, so make sure you order <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>a garlic tray<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>13. The No. 1 rule to being a \u201cHBK (Heartbreak King)\u201d is to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>not love<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>14. Don\u2019t get in my Dodge Challenger unless you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>like roller coasters<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>15. Any new fan that wants to get to know me should listen to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>\u201cGlitchin\u201d<\/strong><\/span> from my <em>Wick<\/em> album.<\/p>\n<p>16. The most frustrating part about the music industry is <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">getting certain songs cleared<\/span><\/strong> when you want to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>drop<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>17. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>F**k sh*t<\/strong><\/span> gets on my nerves, and I\u2019ll <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>crash<\/strong><\/span> about it.<\/p>\n<p>18. The way you handle your haters is to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>embrace \u2019em<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>19. My goal in life is to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>elevate and prevail<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>20.
