Yo, play me with a handshake. Say "What's up, L.L.? Good Luck." That's all. That's all I want. I don't want you to kiss my feet. That ain't necessary. Just give me respect.

Dreams don't have deadlines. I'm thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.

You can't let your past hold your future hostage.

Do what you love; you'll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people don't get this one right away.

Y'all niggas ain't ILL...you're ILLogical.

I think I'm the best, of course. How could I not?
