Young Jeezy Encapsulates My Feelings...


In the October/November issue of Complex  Jeezy said some things that just rings true with me, especially now that I'm trying to be an entrepreneur...

You just said: “I’m not an in-love- ass nigga.” What do you mean by that statement?

Young Jeezy: I ain’t never been—I’ve been a hustler my whole life, so I was pretty much infatuated with money and success and just staying focused and down, so I ain’t never been the type of nigga that just admires my girlfriend.

But you got romance in your life.

Young Jeezy: Yeah, but they ask me what my love life is like, I tell them simple: I love life. [Laughs.] You know what I’m saying? That’s it. I’ma do me, but I ain’t never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly, you know what I’m saying?

And that shit’ll never happen for you.

Young Jeezy: l mean, I can’t say that—but shit, not right now! Gotta keep my eyes on the prize!

Why is that?

Young Jeezy: ’Cause I’m still focused. Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t gonna sit here and act like I ain’t got some things going on, but that ain’t never been my get-up. Anybody that I ever dealt with knows that I’m a very focused individual, and when it comes to my work and what I do, you might have to play the back burner to that.
 
To me its about focus and prioritising...basically...
