"I love talking sh**. Everybody does. I'm just lucky enough to get to talk sh** for money.
Who I am on the record is not who I am in real life though. Kids in the game get confused and try to live the life they rap
about. That only works for people in the choir ... I get asked how I can say things like, 'I'm covered in the blood of Our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' and then be talkin' that wild sh** on my record. My answer to that is God knows my heart. Ain't
nothin' like being a child of God because I know other people really don't have the power to judge me. Besides, I ain't gonna
change overnight."

"I was only ten when my mother came to me. She
said, you can sing for the Lord, or you can sing for the world, but you're not going to do both. I chose the Lord and have
never looked back since."
**VERITY recording artist, MARVIN SAPP
"This has been bred into me since the time I began
to rap. I've always lived by the rule that if you have a chance to say something and be heard by millions of people, why you
gotta tell them some stupid sh**? Say some sh** that's going to help them, or make them aware of something they don't know
about."
**Mainstream rapper, COOLIO --THE SOURCE MAGAZINE, OCTOBER 1997
