You Can Be A Victim, Or You

I Have Received 16 Grammy Nominations And I Have No Trophies, Because I Chose To Write The Harsh Realities. I Stayed True To Myself And I've Taken A Little Beating Behind It.

The Greatest Fear People Have Is That Of Being Themselves. They Want To Be 50 Cent Or Someone Else. They Do What Everyone Else Does Even If It Doesn’t Fit Where And Who They Are. But You Get Nowhere That Way; Your Energy Is Weak And No One Pays Attention To You. You’re Running Away From The One Thing That You Own – What Makes You Different. I Lost That Fear. And Once I Felt The Power That I Had By Showing The World I Didn’t Care About Being Like Other People, I Could Never Go Back.

You Either Pray Or Worry. Don't Do Both.

The Public Is Never Wrong. When People Don’t Respond To What You Do, They’re Telling You Something Loud And Clear. You’re Just Not Listening.

When You Walk In Your Home You Don't Have To Maintain The Same Attitude That You Had Out In The Street. You Can Be Different With Your People And Your Family Than You Are With A Person That You Run Into In The Hood. Even Them They Have To Know To Respond To You Differently In The Hood Cuz If People See Something Out Of The Character That They Portray You. They'll Try You.
