I can’t even say Puff and me are like brothers, ’cause we closer than that.

I can’t even see me wasting my time or my talent to disrespect another black man.

I can’t never stop nobody, can’t knock nobody hustle.

I cleaned up my act, and I made this rap thing work for me. I thought people would respect me for that. But instead, it’s, ‘Oh, he’s sold all these records, and now he thinks he’s all that.’

I definitely wouldn’t wish death on anyone.

I guess I was a combination of House of Pain and Bobby Brown: I was humpin’ around and jumpin’ around!

I had gone to jail, but I wasn’t gettin’ locked up for drugs then. I was gettin’ locked up for guns. My moms kept finding guns and stuff in my room and she was gettin’ more scared.

I heard about crack on the news and I was like, “Oh, that’s what the niggas must be doing.” And when I kept coming outside, I was doing my own little jostlin’ to get my money.

I hold grudges, but I can’t hate nobody; that’s not my nature.

I’m living everyday like a hustle. Another drug to juggle. Another day, another struggle.
