“I usually record all through the night, but I’m known for waking up early in the morning. Even if I had recorded till 3 or 4 in the morning I might wake up at 9 or 10. I never sleep till 1 o clock.”

I did some things to some people that was downright evil. Is it karma coming back to me – so much drama.

I might be ugly, but my cars are real pretty.

If a man does not have the sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can be lost in the sauce.

I would collaborate with James Franco as a rapper any day.

Ain’t got no comparison and I ain’t being arrogant.

The way I think I should stay out of trouble is by stayin’ busy. With idle time comes a lot of biz, so the more my work load is heavy, I’ll have no time to get into any trouble or makin’ dis tracks or get into conversation about any other rappers.

I’ll like to tell all the people who wrote me and said a prayer for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Before I make an action, think about the consequences. … Any decision I make is a heavy decision.

I’m just a careful person around wheels and stuff like that. I try to be as cautious as I can, cause I lost friends to motorcycle accidents and car accidents. So I don’t ever play around anything like that.

Unfortunately I’ve been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it’s difficult to make music, write songs.

My own momma turned her back on me, and that’s my momma.

My goal is to drop 10 projects in 2013. All albums. I gotta do it. I know the 10 projects I want to drop.

I always have faith that something’s going to happen good for you, and it going to happen.

I’m satisfied and proud of the things I did – even the bumps and the bruises that I’ve had on the way. You fall down, you get up, you brush yourself off and you keep going. And that’s what we’re doing.

I believe I can make all the money I’ve missed. But I can’t regain the time with fans and family.

A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can’t expect them to keep it real with you. In this industry people just want to be famous and they forget how to keep it real and they forget to give credit to the people who helped them get to where they at.

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.

The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning.

Today is the most important day of our lives.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

The soft light of morning falls upon ripening forests of oak and elm, walnut and hickory, and all Nature is thoughtful and calm.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
