I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.
People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.
Cuz this is what happens when bad meets evil We hit the trees till we look like Vietnamese people
What are friends? Friends are people you think are your friends but they really your enemies, with secret identities.
People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn't concentrate on my problem.
I like it when people talk s**t. Because if people weren't talking s**t, there would be nothing for me to come back with. I need that. If I don't have any ammo, what am I going to say?
Hip-hop is ever changing but you'll always have the pack. And you'll always have those people who are separated from the pack.
It's just hard to meet new people, in my position.
I don't think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
I might talk about killing people, but that doesn't mean I do it.
Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.
