CJ Fly (Chaine Downer Jr.) Quotes

Sometimes I write it down, sometimes I freestyle. I get lines coming to me randomly throughout the day and I'll jot it down and build on that. If I get a line that's about love, it starts up a whole love verse... And if a beat speaks to me, it's like I already know what to write.

More ancient writings have been lost than have been preserved, and perhaps our new discoveries are of less value than those that we have lost.
