“Music is all about leadership and there ain’t really a lot of leaders.”

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.

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.

Leadership is not bullying and leadership is not aggression. Leadership is the expectation that you can use your voice for good. That you can make the world a better place.

It’s the price of leadership to do the thing you believe has to be done at the time it must be done.

I do things differently, because I don’t go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that’s got me into trouble in my work, I understand that.

Don’t quack like a duck, soar like an eagle.

You must always remember that to lead, one must first learn to follow.

What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

In the principle of equality I very clearly discern two tendencies; one leading the mind of every man to untried thoughts, the other prohibiting him from thinking at all.
