Broke with nothing to live for and damn ready to die young. I'm the shadow behind the gun, look what I've become.

Right now, I'm pro-leave beef alone. Big shout-out to all the vegetarians who don't want beef!

I think it's time that we all be there for the children, to learn from the ones who came before us, and to teach our sons and daughters to have respect for themselves. Break the cycle.

Half the hoes hate, half them love me. The ones that hate me only hate me cuz they ain't [expletive] me.

I want to be remembered as an artist who was really passionate about his work. And as an inspiration. I do what I do to inspire people.

We, as artists, we have the right to express ourselves. That is our first amendment, freedom of speech. But I also believe that we have an obligation to the youth to be somewhat responsible in what we say on records. But I think that comes with age. I think that comes with artists growing up and becoming assured of who they are as people.

Film and TV and stuff like that was something that I wanted to do when I was really, really little; like, I remember I used to do these plays with my cousins. We used to do Michael Jackson performances, and I would be Michael.
