I'm not really a religious person. But I believe that God wants me to do something and it has to do with Thug Life.

What people do for the struggle of power is madness.

I want there to be a life for the street element. Instead of we always getting shut out. Instead of defenseless, having power.

The only thing America respects is power and power concedes nothing. After the LA Riots, they tried to calm us down and nothing changed since.

Gangsta Rap is dead. I've moved on. And the raps that I'm rappin to my community shouldn't be filled with rage? They shouldn't be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don't talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there's no one else talking about it.

Keep your head up, Legs closed, Eyes open.

To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.
