I went thru Every emotion! To pursue what I’m doing. I think that what’s gone separate whoever gone try to go for something is that you ain’t gone quit.

“Words from a king. Happy birthday to a soul gone way too soon,” Brooks wrote as her caption of ap photograph of Nipsey Hussle along with a quote from the rapper.
“These words land heavy. Inspiration from people doesn’t always come in the form of money, a big house, a fancy ride, the latest clothes, shoes, or all of the monetary things this life tells us we must have: but rather, a clean soul, a hard worker, a non-complainer, compassion, focused, selfless, a listener, someone who sacrifices, a dope parent, a believer….these traits are inspiration to me! Can never feel caged when you follow the heart first.”
