I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.

Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.

The further I get, the further I want to go

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth. Not the biased truth, Not the liest truth, But the highest truth.

Niggas hate what they can't understand, fear what they can't conquer

Don't speak to fools, they scorn the wisdom of your words.

I've learned not to be surprised by what people do no more.

The hardest thing is to forgive, but God does, even if you murdered or robbed, ya it's wrong, but God loves, take one step toward him he'll take two toward you, even when all else fails, God'll support you

I broke into shakespeare's tomb and stole his remains, grinded the bones, smoked it, then got in the game

Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.

Play it cool, that's the old school rule man...

If the truth is told, the youth can grow Then learn to survive until they gain control Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes Read more learn more, change the globe

For my hustlers, here's some motivation: He who has begun is half done.

Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.

What you base your happiness around? Material, women, and large paper? That means you inferior, not major.

How can you lose when you're doing you?

My success symbolizes loyalty, great friends, Dedication, hard work, routine builds character. In a world full of snakes, rats and scavengers

No temporary chaos is worth your sanity.

You lose money chasing women; Never lose women chasing money.

Everything will eventually come to an end, So try to savor the moment, cause time flies, don't it? The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better, Cause nothin' lasts forever.

Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined

It's a thin line between paper and hate, Friends and snakes, nine millis and thirty-eights, Hell or the pearly gates...I was destined to come, Predicted, blame God, He blew breath in my lungs.

If you're scared to take chances, you'll never have the answers.

No idea is original, there's nothing new under the sun, it's never what you do, but how it's done

Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite.

I never brag, how real i keep it, cause thats the best secret...

You have to keep your vision clear, cause only a coward lives in fear.

Turnin' nothin' into somethin' is God work, and you get nothin' without struggle and hard work

Hip-hop artists, especially the older ones, are the ones who knew hip-hop was a worldwide phenomenon before the mainstream caught on, so hip-hop artists are forward thinkers. We want to stay with the new.

It's never been seen that a street artist go as far as I've gone - keep consistent without wanting to do a bunch of ventures outside of music to keep my face out there.

My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.

N.Y. hip-hop is ok, but we gotta become brave again; we have to be brave enough and do something new - that's what New York is about... New.

Hip-hop lasted and survived all these years that you have to give it credit. Even though it's not up to people's expectations anymore, its still here, and that's says a lot.

No matter who you are, black, white, green, there's going to be things in your way, you know what I mean?

My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.

Africa has been going through so much for so many years; it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.

GaGa is one of my favourites. Her voice is incredible and she's fearless and she's ahead of the game. She's ahead of the entire game, and I admire that.

Whenever I received too much praise, it just didn't feel right to me - ever.

I don't have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.

When I say 'hip-hop is dead,' basically, America is dead. There is no political voice. Music is dead.

DJs play a big responsibility of what hip-hop is doing... At the end of the day, it's up to us to control and to own hip-hop. DJs need to challenge us rappers. They got so much power, they need to challenge us.

I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do.

I've been called everything. Gangsta rap. I've been called conscious rap. You know, everything. Whoever feels like calling it whatever they want to call it, that's on them.

Divorce can be crazy. Man, if you're happy... Love is a beast, man. Hold on. Be prepared for any way it may go, and be honest.

I think marriage is a beautiful thing. I'm still a supporter of it.

No one's promised anything. You could have the biggest record on radio and sell no records.

To me, creatively challenging myself is my version of owning the Nets.

I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.

I love PBS! I grew up on it. If I had to say which channels were good, I'd say, you got your PBS, your History Channel, your Discovery.

Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
