“Music is how you feel. But if I can say one word, I’ll say ‘necessary.’ I felt it was necessary.”

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.

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

My family was always present when I needed them and sometimes felt even stronger emotions than me.

I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.

Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.

The artist’s role isn’t to tell people how to feel, but reflect.

I want to meet someone who makes me feel the way music does.

When you feel a peaceful joy, that’s when you are near truth.

Choose not to be harmed and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed and you haven’t been.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
