There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.

If you believe in God, believe in Death Row East.

I'll probably be punished for hard living.

When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.

I don't have to talk about whether or not I got raped in jail.

America wants its respect.

With all my fans I got a family again.

What I learned in jail is that I can't change. I can't live a different lifestyle - this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.

If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'

It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave.

Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.

All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.

I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.

I don't have no fear of death. My only fear is coming back reincarnated.

Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?

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

I would rather have been shot straight-up in cold blood-but to be set up? By people who you trusted? That's bad.
