Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins

Between that and my first album, I probably spent about $4 million.

Yeah.

And that's when I tell anyone to bet on themselves.

I watch people sit there and budget things out.

I'm just like, I don't even think like that.

Let's go.

There's no bottom line on it.

But I'm not just spinning like a maniac.

I'm definitely thinking about what I'm doing, but I'm not cutting any corners when it comes to my legacy, my future and changing the quality of life for the people around me, because you have to take the risk.

And if you're counting peanuts and you're trying to make, you're not taking a risk.

You got to break the glass ceiling.

How are you going to do that by spending your own?

I've never took anybody's money.

When I made my records, when I was signed to Def Jam,

I paid for my own records.

Yeah, and I get my money back.

But it's just like, because if I get your money, then I might treat it like it's free money.

But if I'm spending my money, I'm going to work.

Yeah.

And of course, you're going to save when you can.
