“An older guy, he’s going to show you things that a young man can’t show you. He’s going to show you how to stay alive. He’s going to show you how to turn corners where your young friends will show you how to turn right into that wall, you know what I’m saying?”

There’s no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of me.

They say I’m greedy, but I still want more, cause my eyes want to journey.

That’s how we do it in the black community; we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.

I am a sore loser. I’ve always been like that ever s’nce I started playin’ sports and just life in general. I hate to lose and I play to win.

See, I don’t want brothers shooting. I want them talking.

I stay busy and projects look for me. I aint goin nowhere no time soon and that’s how I continue to evolve. By stayin relevant and makin hits.

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

Reggae is music of love. It has joy and pain, but it feels good.

Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.

It’s Christmas time and my rhyme’s steady bumpin. Everybody happy, hair still nappy, Gonna steal a gift for my old grandpappy.

If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.

The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.

The best advice I’ve ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you’ll go far in life.

I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated.

Your only gain is to try to get me to fall down to your level. Man, you worser than devils.

I kiss the skies, set the sun in my eyes and swallow up the streams. I swear to god, I only feel alive in my most ludricious dreams.

I’m alive and I want to keep living.

I remember thinking how often we look, but never see … we listen, but never hear … we exist, but never feel. We take our relationships for granted. A house is only a place. It has no life of its own. It needs human voices, activity and laughter to come alive.

You’ve been put on the world to love the act of being alive.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

I enjoy life when things are happening. I don’t care if it’s good things or bad things. That means you’re alive.

If I’m breathing in 2016, I’ll be happy.

To cry means that you are feeling as much as you possibly can in that moment and that is exactly what I mean when I say you are alive.
