Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to Size Tea? You're listening to. The Daily Game
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind
Speaker 1: to stay motivated. Stop worrying about being number one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: or even five. Just get in the game. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are so concerned with being on top of
Speaker 1: the game. Well, you have to get in the game first.
Speaker 1: When I first started rapping, I was never concerned with
Speaker 1: being the number one rapper. I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: named amongst the rappers. There's so many rappers out right
Speaker 1: now that if you told me all these different names,
Speaker 1: I would only know a few people, you know, because
Speaker 1: getting to be named amongst the major rappers is a
Speaker 1: big accomplishment, you know. So that's all I was concerned with.
Speaker 1: Where I ranked. That's a matter of perspective. That's a
Speaker 1: matter of preference, what people like. To some people. Oh,
Speaker 1: I t's the best to some people. I'd never be
Speaker 1: the best, but I'm still in the game. That's the key.
Speaker 1: So whatever you're doing in business, whatever you're doing in life,
Speaker 1: stop basing it around being in the top five or
Speaker 1: the top ten. Don't worry about that. Just get in
Speaker 1: the game, like I always tell you. I mean, McDonald's
Speaker 1: is number one, But do you think you know Wendy's
Speaker 1: gives a fuck. You don't think Burger King gives a fuck? No,
Speaker 1: because they getting paid. Taco Bell don't even care. Get
Speaker 1: in the game, and if you can get in the
Speaker 1: top tier, so be it. But don't base your life
Speaker 1: around Oh well, if I'm not number one, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be happy, or I gotta be this, or I
Speaker 1: gotta get it. Let me tell you, I've never been
Speaker 1: in the top five. I've never been anywhere near that.
Speaker 1: But I've sold a hell of a lot of records,
Speaker 1: and I've lived a life that very few people can
Speaker 1: compare and a lot of people envy. Been around the
Speaker 1: world multiple times, been the just I've done a lot
Speaker 1: of shit to not be number one, five, ten, or
Speaker 1: what it. I don't give a fuck. It's not necessary.
Speaker 1: Don't mind fuck yourself into saying I have to be
Speaker 1: at this level. No, just get in the game. You
Speaker 1: have to be in it to win it. That's it
Speaker 1: and who knows, one day you could be number ninety,
Speaker 1: the next day you could be number one. Who would
Speaker 1: have thought, you know what I'm saying, I just put
Speaker 1: out a book. I mean I we just dropped the
Speaker 1: book Bound number one on Amazon, number one audio book Plow.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's a great thing. But it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: We just putting out a book. We were getting in
Speaker 1: the game. But we say you get in where you
Speaker 1: fit in, but don't get too caught up in the
Speaker 1: rankings of people. It truly doesn't matter. This has been
Speaker 1: another ice cold fact from me iced Tea. Listening again
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass Till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay by all means in
