• Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.
• The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
• The reason why I could get into acting was because it takes nothing to get out of who I am and go into somebody else.
• I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.
• I swear, if they hadn't tried to ruin me, I never would have ended up being a rapper. I probably would have been a preacher or something.
• It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.
• All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.
• It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.
• I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
• My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
• Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.

• It's a struggle for every young Black man. You know how it is, only God can judge us.

• I would rather have been shot straight-up in cold blood-but to be set up? By people who you trusted? That's bad.
• What I learned in jail is that I can't change. I can't live a different lifestyle - this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.
• Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here cause even Thugs cry, but do the Lord care?
• I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society.

• In my mind I'm a blind man doin' time.

• I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.
• I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
• There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.
• Let the Lord judge the criminals.
• The only time I have problems is when I sleep.
• I just don't know how to deal with so many people giving me that much affection. I never had that in my life.
