If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.

People in the media, it makes their day when someone they say is a five-star artist goes platinum.

Mix the the gas with the lean, call that gasoline

Hopped up out the bed / Turn my swag on

Ladies love a man with shirt off, so my shirt stays off

I'm headed towards greatness. I think I'm making history in hip-hop.

Words are powerful. When I make mistakes I just try to come back and clarify what I meant.

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs, that's cool, but I don't like the dumb questions.

Soulja Boy is on his dance, down south, young, 18-year-old, comedic swag. It's really just each person's personality; if every rapper had the same swag, it would be kind of boring.

I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.

No one has ever achieved financial success by constantly spending all they have in order to deceive others into believing they are rich.

To be is to stand for.

A life spent shaping a world I want Jackson to inherit, not one I fear Jackson shall inherit, this strikes me as a life worth the living.

I view the experiences that I have had - both the tough ones and the pleasant ones - as gifts.

Chronically dysfunctioning families are also delusional. Delusion is sincere denial.

My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.

I love ghost stories, I love to read them, and I love the idea of being haunted.

This is the Great Theatre of Life. Admission is free, but the taxation is mortal. You come when you can, and leave when you must. The show is continuous. Goodnight.
