R-Truth

You can see into people's souls through their eyes.

I don't like to talk about typical things in my music - my music is more about real life situations.

There's certain countries that you can't get in if you've got a criminal background record. There's certain jobs in the States that you can't get because you've got a criminal background record. That follows you the rest of your life... and that's something you have to deal with the rest of your life.

I've always felt that God, himself, has chosen me for his purpose, for higher callings whether it's to be an inspiration to somebody else's life, whether it's to change somebody else's life, or whether it's to be that support or light in somebody else's life.

My influences, going back through the history of rap, talk about Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe D, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy.

It's about important things such as having faith, pursuing your dreams and goals. My music is about drive.

It's a long road of paying your dues. Each and every person that's in this business has to go down that road. Some people may not have to. Some people may be given that road instantly because of who they are.

If you're going to be in this business, you need to be in to win it.

All my music has always been about positive, having ambition, having goals, having dreams, and believing in yourself.

I leave my career totally to the creative staff and Vince McMahon. Whatever they give me to do, I'll go in headfirst and I'll just perfect it and make it happen. I'm ready for whatever they have to throw at me.

WWF is my second job in my whole life.

All the things I talk about are true, but some of them I may tweak a little bit. A lot of it is the way I feel about wrestling. When you have a character like mine, you can push the envelope and go far with some of the issues.
