Education Quote by Jelly Roll
“I own every song I've ever released. I do not have a traditional record deal. I still get the lion's share of my money on every single facet. I didn't sign a publishing deal. I'm not bragging, but I'm proud of myself because I'm a kid that had zero education and didn't get his GED till he was 24 in jail.”
