I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward.

I have not brought violence to you. I have not brought 'thug life' to America. I didn't create 'thug life;' I diagnosed it.

People die but legends live forever.

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

Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.

Long time you fight revolution, and when you fight revolution, you use guns. You don't really want talk about revolution until you have guns, right? So me don't want ever to talk 'bout revolution because me no never get gun. Me make music. Music is the biggest gun.'
