You reached your level, you don't want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin' with the Panthers, we were askin' in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin' are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn't be angry!?
Real eyes, realize, real lies..
Long live the rose that grew from the concrete when no one else ever cared.
I am a hard person to love but when I love, I love really hard.
Gangsta Rap is dead. I've moved on. And the raps that I'm rappin to my community shouldn't be filled with rage? They shouldn't be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don't talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there's no one else talking about it.
I gotta big mouth, I can’t help it, I talk from my heart, I’m real, whatever comes comes. But my controversy problem, it’s not my fault, I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just make money off of everybody. So I go down paths that haven’t been traveled before and I usually mess up, but I learn, I come back stronger..

The eyes of mortal men, threaten you with doom They regret to see you, set, but it is time, for the moon
A woman bought you into this world, so you have no right to disrespect one.
Dear Mama, don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good, Tell the homies I'm in heaven, and they ain't got hoods. Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook, Drippin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke...
Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.
No matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up and handle it.
I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing. Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up.... and handle it.
Heaven ain't hard to find; all you gotta do is look.
