As a black man, I have to respect myself and have nice things. As a man in general.

You got to be who you are when you are.

A lot of people don't know that I love to love. To have a different kind of mask on me where people feel like I'm not a loving individual. I just love to love, I love everything and everybody, I'm about peace that's my spirit.

If u hot and make hot ish, Imma make sure and get down with ya! Break bread or fake dead - everyone else move out tha way!

See, I don't want brothers shooting. I want them talking.

There's certain classes you have to take, certain things you have to do, certain money you must have. Then, if you listen to the counselors and social workers and everybody else talking at you, you would think that once you got out of high school and college, life would be beautiful. But it's not.

Growing up, I didn't dream of being nothing, of living in the ghetto my whole life. I wanted to get out.
