"I'm a natural born hustler. I'm a natural born leader. And I'm a natural born poet."

"I would rather be stricken blind, than to live without expression of mind."

"I’m not a gangster. Never was, never will be. I’m just a brother who fights back."

"I'm not saying I'm gonna rule the world or I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."

"I'm a poet. I'm a musician. I'm an actor."
