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.
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.
If you wanna cross somebody, then do that. Don't act like it wasn't you
No person ever gave me nothing but God.
I ain't no gangster. I'm a grown man trying to run a business.
For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive.
I'm passionate about everything, like my family and friends. Anybody I am talkin' to is gonna be bona fide real. There is no substitution for happiness. Period.
You got good and bad people everywhere.
Basically, people are never happy enough because they want more money
How could you be from the ghetto and be a rat?
In prison, you get the chance to see who really loves you.
I only know what I heard and what I read. I had no involvement.
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.
When I start getting old, I'm going to start ending my prayers like, "Lord, it'd be a good day to die." I don't wanna be 130 years old with a diaper on, all my friends dead and gone. I wanna get to heaven, come get me!
People don't know how hard it is to have your own business
I am in the penitentiary. The only thing that I do is my time.
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.
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.
When you're dealing with TV and with movies, people dont take it as serious as they do with music. If a rapper does a song about shooting people on the block, and goes into a restaurant or grocery store, people grab their purses because they're afraid the person is violent. With TV and movies, people know it's okay, it's just a script.
I don't care about how many times somebody recognizes my face.
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.
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.
Prison makes you a better judge of character. You pick up on people much faster.
The music business would be much better, for the youth and the kids, if they start hiring employees that understand the kids.
