Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel

I think I'll be going to Heaven, because I had good intentions. But my actions are another thing.

I'm down to sell records but not my soul.

2Pac wrote about life threatening situations after being shot so often, it made it seem like he was obsessed with it. He even wrote music and material that he left behind after he died that made reference to him dying already. I think the significance in that ties back to us knowing that that's our fate.

Stay to yourself, just listen. Do more listening than talking. The more you speak the higher the chances you sayin the wrong thing.

When I put out my first mixtape, '50 Cent is the Future,' it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.

I don't necessarily view death as something negative. Death gives meaning to life. Living in fear of death is living in denial. Actually, it's not really living at all, because there is no life without death. It's two sides of the one. You can't pick up one side and say, I'm just going to use the 'heads' side. No. It doesn't work like that. You have to pick up both sides because nothing is promised to anyone in this world besides death.
