The realness of it all is I been doing Mars so much for so long that I put it before everything. I put it before Mario. I put it before family and my son and my girl and everything. I accomplished a lot in music and I'm proud, but at the end of the day it just doesn't mean shit. Only to me. I just got to the point where I can keep going on my path of success in music and lose real shit that matters, or leave a world that doesn't exist and keep the one that does. I'm making a lot of changes in my life to be a better person to everyone around me and this is just one thing that I feel that I need to do. Family comes first. I got nothing to lose and everything to gain. If I put all the energy that I did into my music, into my family then to me the feeling of success would be much greater of a reward. It aint about money, or struggle, or lack of a deal or the current state of the industry. I have or had all that and can deal with that. It's about Mario. Mars fucks up everything for Mario sometimes. Gotta make a change and be proud I've reached my goals in music and keep it movin. I appreciate everyones support. This ain't the end of me making music. Its just the end of me doing it for a career, where theres no days off. Where theres no check out time. No vacations. I need that time for my family. This is just grown man shit.
