I don't think it makes me a role model. I think it makes me inspiring. Cause I'm from the bottom I think they look at me and go 'well, if he made it, I can make it'

God's the seamstress that tailor-fitted my pain.

In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like ho' business.

People are like plants: They grow; they change every day.

My son is the reason why I write music. He's the reason why everything is different for me. Because when he came into the picture, my priorities changed. I can risk possibly being incarcerated because the only person pays for it is me. I know that if I'm not physically available to take care of him, nobody else will. I want to have the relationship with him that me and my father never had.

The only thing that I'm scared of is not livin' up to the expectations of Dr. Dre and Eminem.

I need you. I need you to hate, so I can use you for your energy
