“No matter what it is, I think people want the answer they want, they don’t want the truth.”

The best revenge in the world is success.

No person ever gave me nothing but God.

I only know what I heard and what I read. I had no involvement.

There’s no difference in dealing with the music business with the majors than any other competition. The music business is way more cutthroat than any other business.

I don’t care about how many times somebody recognizes my face.

In prison, you get the chance to see who really loves you.

Basically, people are never happy enough because they want more money.

As far as anybody in the rap game ever tryin to assassinate my character, thats impossible. You talkin about a man who has always walked the walk and talked the talk.

I ain’t never preyed on the weak. I ain’t never gone and picked on a guy that I knew I could beat up, even as a kid. People wanna make me seem like I’m [that] type of guy.

If you grow up in the suburbs, you hear of people dying of old age, car wrecks, cancer. In the city, it’s always people dying of violence or stray bullets.

If you wanna cross somebody, then do that. Don’t act like it wasn’t you.

I think the biggest misconception about me probably is … I don’t prey on the weak. I ain’t a bully, but I ain’t no saint, either.

The music business would be much better, for the youth and the kids, if they start hiring employees that understand the kids.

I’m gonna make sure everybody get their justice. This the year for business, this the year for my book, this the year for the movie and this the year for getting even. I’m on my way.

Prison makes you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.

To allow what you’re reading to pierce routines, safe and impermeable, in which ordinary carnal life is tracked, charted, channeled. Then, what of the right answers.

There will be an answer. Let it be.

I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I don’t have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me.

Any approach to scientific inference which seeks to legitimize it and answer in reponse to complex uncertainty is,

There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.

Our prayers run along one road and God’s answers by another, and by and by they meet.

God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.

Knowing the ‘right answers’ does not mean we believe them. To believe them means to act as though they’re true.
