God's the seamtress that tailor-fitted my pain yo I got scriptures in my brain I can spit at yo dane straight the good book, look, niggas is shook 50 fear no man, warrior swing swords like conana
Everybody mad when their paper don't stack right
The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves,
Either you are a victim or you victimize someone and in the hood it's no holds barred. The kid in the schoolyard that doesn't want to fight always leaves with a black eye.
I'm not a gangster, I'm not a thug.. I'm just me and if I feel like someone is trying to hurt me.. yeah I'm gonna hurt 'em.. if you come and you ain't coming right I'm gonna blow your head off.
You can be a victim, or you can lock and load.
Sleep is for those people who are broke. I don't sleep. I've got an opportunity to make a dream become a reality.
Negative energy that comes at you in some form is energy that can be turned around - to defeat an opponent and lift you up.
If I don't make music I'm going back to the hood. I'll sell crack. I'm gonna go back to sell crack if I can't make it in the music business and that's what I was doing before that.
I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.
I feel like you can will yourself into a good space. Things that are meant to happen, will. If you believe in yourself enough, you can help yourself learn. You can inspire yourself in ways to discipline yourself to a point where you CAN become good enough.
I like generals. I like Napoleon. I like strategy. The majority of them are praised for mass destruction, but it's exciting to see how it comes to the mind mentally.
My confidence allows me to do things my way and help people make a decision. People like the idea of me just being me.
When you walk in your home you don't have to maintain the same attitude that you had out in the street. You can be different with your people and your family than you are with a person that you run into in the hood. Even them they have to know to respond to you differently in the hood cuz if people see something out of the character that they portray you. They'll try you.
