I stay busy and projects look for me. I aint goin nowhere no time soon and that’s how I continue to evolve. By stayin relevant and makin hits.

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

The greatest weapons in the conquest of knowledge are an understanding mind and the inexorable curiosity that drives it on.

I am strong. My heart still hopes. My mind still dreams. My soul still craves pouring energy into everything that I love.

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
