[I just try to stay around the same people] is what kept me out of trouble, because when I got into trouble, it was with people from the outside. The outside always led me to getting into trouble, and really just stayin' in the studio [and] workin' hard, and mainly just keepin' my mind straight.

I'm the only one that put out 200 songs, and [fans] listen to all of 'em. I don't care who you talk about down south, Boosie gonna win.
