Old habits die hard, and if you're not careful, the person you used to be can overtake the person you're trying to become.
Read quote -
I live in Atlanta because Ludacris lives in Atlanta. And because T.I. lives in Atlanta and because Lil Wayne comes to Atlanta to hang out all the time and because Rick Ross' engineers are in Atlanta.
Read quote -
