Just giving the people a great show, leaving it all on the stage. Like when I'm finished I don't want to go home with nothing, I want to leave it all there on the stage, that's what I'm thinking about before I hit the stage.

When I turned 16, I thought I was a man. I needed the money. When you don't have it, crazy thoughts go through your mind.

Drop it like it's hot.

Drugs bring in guns. They bring in all these black-on-black crimes.

Trouble comes looking for you. Lots of times I just stay in the house and enjoy my family. I try to be a father to my child, I'll stay out of trouble if I can, because I have lots to do. Other folks have different hardships. It's hard for a black man to raise a family.

My trigger finger itching, positioned at your dome, one twitch and it's on. No remorse or second thoughts.

Barack Obama makes me feel good to be a black man.
