If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.
When you're green, your growing. When you're ripe, you rot.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

However, people need to understand that it ain't that deep to try and convince people of what your persona is. You are who you are, and what you are will show in time. What you aren't can be hidden, but eventually it will come to light. Long story short: rappers should never take themselves too seriously.
I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
If your partner is angry with you, recognize that his anger is a misdirected plea for love. Your partner's simply upset because he feels something you said or did was a sign of not loving him enough.
You sparkle with larceny.
You've got to tell your money what to do or it will leave.
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.
