"When I die I want to be a living legend."

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

"Support me... If you don't understand me don't write about me."

"I guarantee if people keep supporting me... Just buying my records, goin to my concerts... just supporting me..I'm gonna keep giving money... Like Makaveli, every time it goes platinum, I'm putting money up for community centers."

"There's no way I can pay ya back, but my plan is to show ya that I understand."

"I didn't get that power from guns cause there's no guns in jail. I got that power from books and from thinking and strategizing. That's what I want little niggaz to see."

"Don't shed a tear for me, nigga I ain't happy here, I hope they bury me and send me to my rest, headlines reading murdered to death, my last breath."

"I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I 'm going to heaven."

"Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next, in this world full of countless threats."
