It's a struggle for every young Black man. You know how it is, only God can judge us.
Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him.
strength is overcome by weakness/Joy is overcome by Pain/The night is overcome by Brightness/and Love-it remains the same.
Everybody against me. Why? Why me? I have not brought violence to you. I have not brought Thug Life to America. I didn't create Thug Life. I diagnosed it.
Well, the first two days in prison, I had to go through what life is like when you've been smoking weed for as long as I have and then you stop. Emotionally, it was like I didn't know myself.
No matter what these people say about me, my music doesn't glorify any image. My music is spiritual when you listen to it. It's all about emotion, I tell my innermost, darkest secrets.
Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.
When you were born the world was smiling, and you cry, because living a life so that you are dying smiled, cried and the world.
Everyday there's more death, and plus I'm doughless. I'm seeing more reasons for me to proceed with thieving.
Today is built on tragedies, which no one wants to face, nightmares to humanities and morally disgraced. Tonight is filled with rage, violence in the air, children bred with ruthlessness because no one at home cares.
I heard a rumor I died, Murdered in cold blood dramatized, Pictures of me in my final state, You know mama cried, But that was fiction, Some coward got the story twisted, Like I no longer existed, Mysteriously missin', I'm known worldwide baby, I ain't hard to find.
I don't know how to change the world but I know if I keep talking about how dirty it is out here, somebody gon clean it up.
My biggest fear of death is to come back reincarnated
It makes me unhappy when brothers make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy.
