Our obsession with material things and lack of self-worth is evident in our need for an abundance of momentary luxuries and must-have amenities that have no true value for real, man. And I mean, we do it just to impress people that could care less if your children or your children's children have anything left to show for your life after you gone.

I regret my lack of options. I regret being painted into a corner and having that be the only instrument to get me from point A to point B.

I'm not as serious of a person as people make me out to be. Most people would think that I would be less successful in comedy, but I can crack a joke as well as anyone else.

If we continue to devalue ourselves we cannot realistically expect respect from others.

You ain't gotta be a dope boy to have money.

You can't go through the kinds of things I've gone through, as much as I have, without re-evaluating yourself and making adjustments. And you can't endure these horrendous circumstances without developing a certain level of strength and wisdom.

I give the niggaz what they came to see, a reflection of one self where they aim to be.
