“You’ve got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.”

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones.

I’m taking my skills to different people’s homes that have stoves for it.

Anytime you’re with somebody, you become a reflection of that person. I believe the first five years of our relationship was me grooming her, getting her tough and getting her ready for all of this and how to deal with it. The last was just her being a strong Black woman who has her man’s back.

I’m here to impress only one man. He don’t live here with us. He’s on top. So that’s all I’m concerned about. My work is not for the public or for man to view or make judgment on me, I work for one person.

You don’t know where you goin unless you know where you come from.

Like Ice Cube asks, “Why are more niggers in the pen than in college?” It’s easier to go to the pen than it is to go to college.

That’s why I’m so successful because peace is my main thing, it’s not about money. It’s about making sure everybody is having a good time and loving and living and enjoying life.

An older guy, he’s going to show you things that a young man can’t show you. He’s going to show you how to stay alive. He’s going to show you how to turn corners where your young friends will show you how to turn right into that wall, you know what I’m saying?

I wanted to become a better Snoop Dogg, full of water, proteins and stuff to keep me alive. Lollipops and Big Macs.

Now people think it’s cool to have a baby, but it ain’t cool to take care of it. We have to change that. You make your life for that baby. That’s the future.

If they would have put positive opportunities in front of me to make $1000 a week, I would have done it. But they didn’t. They put $1000 in front of me and an illegal way to make it. And they expect me not to do it because they say it’s wrong.

If you’re trying to get somebody and this might be the only time you’re going to catch him, but he is holding his baby and with his mama, you ain’t gonna let that chance go by. That’s the mentality of the streets. If you let that chance go by, he might catch your ass.

Drop it like it’s hot.

Push yourself, when you get smart up top (in your head), your skills will fall right into place.

I move with the time. Whatever’s happening in time, I’m in.

It makes me feel the way I need to feel.

Don’t let your past keep you away from your greatness today. Regret only lives in the mind. Release it all because you are renewed every second.

If you don’t make peace with your past it will keep showing up in your present.

Their past is not an excuse for you to tolerate disrespectful behaviour.

I respect all of the fighters within the sport of boxing, legends of the past, stars of the present, and prospects of the future.

History always seems to repeat itself.

Remember like where you’ve come from. Know who you are.

Letting go of the past makes space for new opportunities.

Never run back to what broke you.
