“I feel like you don’t have to go through jail, that’s not part of bein’ a man.”

Most of my subject matter was all kind of, like, party stuff, jewelry and cars. It was really just, you know, shallow.

Me personally, I come from very, very humble beginnings – little, small town in Alabama, you know, staying at my granddaddy house. We really didn’t have nothing.

I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling.

That fame monster’s a fool, man. It really is.

Always watch your back – when I was fourteen I got a tattoo of an eye on the back of my neck, so I could say I was always watchin’ my back.

I go to the club just like a normal person. I might go to the studio, but I go everywhere like a normal person would.

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 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.

Feeling and owning our own shit instead of working it out on others is key.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

The more one thinks, the more one feels the hopeless immensity of man’s ignorance.

If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like you know her – then don’t let her go

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

I am suddenly overwhelmed with regret, it’s a new feeling for me, and I don’t find it at all pleasurable.

The best feeling in the world is knowing that you actually mean something to someone.

I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs.
