“I feel I can really relate to a lot of young people.”

I ended up getting a lion chain. I had to make my own mascot – I want to start my own dynasty eventually.

Everything I wanted to do was big. I feel like my music is big, the mark I’ma leave in this world is big, so I feel like that’s the perfect name.

I don’t call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.

High ends, high spending. We just trying to end life on a high note.

I want people to feel like they can do anything.

I feel like I changed hip-hop.

I work really hard – that doesn’t mean I deserve anything, but it’s really cool to see the positive reaction people give to something you worked so hard on. It’s one of the best feelings.

I’m not compromising myself in any way, I love just doing whatever I want and showing people it’s real.

I’m just a Westside lover, I leave females in my sheets and all my feelings in a rubber.

The higher the goal, the harder the climb, but after that the bigger the muscle the, smarter the mind.

I think it’s tacky to have chains that go all the way down to your crotch.

I feel like Im able to relate to all races of people because when you learn to tap into the raw emotion of a person, that goes past color.

To live in the moment is truly an art and is truly a talent, because when you live in the moment then you are truly the master of your whole life and you’ll have the best times.

I want to win some awards, sell more records – just do whatever I want.

I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.

I’m really vulnerable onstage because it’s just me. I’m not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That’s what I wanted to do.

Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.

I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

When something good comes your way, you better feel fortunate, because it doesn’t last forever.

The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.

Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.

I don’t give a damn how you feel about me, I sip lean pure codeine and I don’t give a damn what you say about me.

I like my raps, but I’m never too happy with some of ’em because I feel like they could be better.
