Don't leave this world without giving it your all.

Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. I`m not the thief who grabs your purse. I`m not the guy who jacks your car. I`m not down with the people who steal and hurt others. I`m just a brother who fight back.

I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just, make money off of everybody.

In USA, a black man only have like five years we can exhibit maximum strength, and that's right now while you a teenager, while you still strong, while you still wanna lift weights, while you still wanna shoot back. 'Cause once you turn 30, it's like they take the heart and soul out of a man, out of a black man, in this country. And you don't wanna fight no more.

If I was white I would have been like John Wayne... I feel like a tragic hero in a Shakespeare play

Life's a wheel of fortune and it's my chance to spin it.

I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
