Hate is only a form love that hasn't found a way to express itself logically.

I don't like to stop. I believe you stop when you die.
I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.
I like being misunderstood.
Don't make an opinion on me if you don't know nothin' about me.
I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.
I believe in God and his son, Jesus.
I am very humble, and I am very gracious and very grateful for everything that happens to me and about me and around me.

I don't look for signs. But when things happen, I say, 'OK, something must be right.' Or 'OK, something must be wrong.'
I go wherever my creativity takes me.

You supposed to be able to do anything in this world. That's what Martin Luther King told me.
I have accomplished all that I have set out to accomplish and more.
Jail didn't make me find God, He's always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
I was still in school after I dropped my first solo album.
I watch ESPN all day long.
I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going, someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.
I always knew I couldn't sing, but I also knew I had a voice that isn't heard by many, and that I could learn how to stretch it and make songs sound good.
I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.
I always do my rap from the outside looking in. Like I do my rap as if I'm looking at me rap.
I don't think I've ever googled myself.
I like people that enjoy life, 'cause I do the same.
The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.

I'm a gangster, and gangsters don't ask questions.
I don't take nothin' from no one. I do what I wanna do. And I'm gonna do that until the day I die. And if I can't do that, then I'll just die.
Nothing scares me but God.
I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.
Let me do me.
I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It's gonna be hard to tell me I'm slipping.
Don't judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that's about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. It's me against the world - that's how I feel.
I do not consider myself a literal genius.

Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.
As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.

If I have a rap album I'm dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album.
The most bizarre thing I've ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I'm dead - mostly because I was reading it.
