 Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever. |
| I'll probably be punished for hard living. |
| We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me. |
| Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here cause even Thugs cry, but do the Lord care? |
| With all my fans I got a family again. |
| Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine? |
| In my mind I'm a blind man doin' time. |
| The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| I'm a reflection of the community. |
| Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him. |
| Thug Life to me is dead. |
| 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. |
| It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down. |
| I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit. |
