“Real recognize real, I suppose.”

People who work every day are kind of scared of things they don’t understand.

You’ve got to be happy with yourself. You can’t sell yourself if you’re out here and you ain’t good. Because you’re giving people messages, and if your message is wrong, then it’s like the blind leading the blind.

You gotta have life your way. If you ain’t losing your mind, you ain’t partying right.

The world is yours and everything in it, it’s out there- get on your grind and get it.

My hustle is nonstop. I never stop hustling.

I don’t know how to be a rapper. I just know how to be me.

All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.

I don’t think nobody should compare me to anyone, ’cause, at the end of the day, you’ve got a ‘Pac, you’ve got Snoop, you got Tip, you got Wayne – there’s only one Jeezy, man. Ain’t nobody walked in these shoes but me.

I represent the Democratic party… I’ve never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it’s losing friends or losing family. You still gotta stand up and be that guy even when you ain’t having great things. Because you’ve gotta be the spokesperson for your people.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

Open your eyes, I’m a BLESSING in disguise.

I used to hit the kitchen lights, cockroaches everywhere. Hit the kitchen lights, now it’s marble floors everywhere.

All my albums always go with the times.

I don’t just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain’t got no sense of direction. I’m trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street.

Politics isn’t only about government. Politics is about the people.

The question I love to get asked is: ‘What’s the hardest part of your job?’ And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it’s to just to be me. Like, it’s really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be.

Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.

Lying is the only art form that the public sanctions and instinctively prefers to reality.

Realistic thinking is based on what others think is possible-but they are not you and have no way of knowing your potential and purposes.

Nothing can take the place of a real hunger for souls, or make up for the lack of it.

Love stories can be wild and sad little unkempt tales energetic and alive the only thing worth living for reality.

If I can look at your zip code and I can tell whether you’re going to get a good education, we’ve got a real problem.

I don’t think I could do a reality show, no.
