“Anybody that’s got a problem with me is probably envious or wants to be me, and that’s how I’ve always looked at it.”

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.

If I’m gonna put a message out there, I want to make sure I stay consistent. I’m up on my game, because I said it. People take your words and they live by them.

A lot of people question how talented I am. But I’m a real dude and I know real things and I’ve seen real people get their head blown off.

It’s not the average people that come to my show.

Real recognize real, I suppose.

Let’s say your past is your present and your present is your cash, So I look forward to the future.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there – and bigger.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

Honestly, I’m on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain’t productive, I get concerned.

As long as I’m not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I’m glad I’m not an MC. I’m a motivational speaker. I’m not that rapper dude.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain’t going the way they should go, they let you know… and when they happy, you gotta keep ’em happy.

I’ve pretty much done records with everybody.

Married to the game. If we’re dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

I shall never write an autobiography, I’m much too jealous of my privacy for that.

Jealousy is not a barometer by which the depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover’s insecurity.

Since man is in the likeness of the angels, and they would be jealous of him, for this reason, He consulted them.

A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.

What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.

The lovesick, the betrayed, and the jealous all smell alike.

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

My wife’s jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.
