Quotes
- “Didn't have a clue that the rapper was helping the rapers, raiders of the villages, the pillagers of the school....shooters of the innocents, tortures of the witnesses, burners of the businesses..and my bracelet was the fuel.”
- “Heavy problems genocide desensitized environments Sometimes make it hard to sympathize, pardon”

- “Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin, hydroponic coughin and All the world's ills, sittin' on chrome 24-inch wheels”
- “Life ain't meant to come around twice, that's why I gotta get it right. They said I gotta get it honest, now I gotta give them light, but sleep on it, that's why God gave you night”
