The first time I was homeless was when I went to Atlanta. I was in a homeless shelter, then when I got a job I used to miss the curfew for the shelter. So I ended up sleeping outside in the streets.

For me, my life is a journey.

The universe is listening, be careful what you say in it.

I can slay a devil when I see one, Steady practice mastery of self so not to be one

What makes me different from everybody else just boils down to dissatisfaction.

Life is like a dice game; one roll could land you in jail, or cuttin' cake, blowin' kisses in the rice game.

My pen is an artery, my heart is a fountain

All my dreams are coming true all across the board for some reason.

Sometimes I don't know what to say; the pain never stops. The cloud never goes away, the rain never drops

I've been homeless on a few occasions.

Nas is one of the Greatest Ever. Never has and never will need a ghostwriter. That man’s pen and legacy is without question.

There is a self-destructive program running in the consciousness of humanity, and we must write a new program.

It's not wrinkles. I just have too much skin for the size of my face.

People are fed up with the way things are. There is a lot of bitterness out there, a lot of anger about a lack of jobs and concerns for the next generation.

There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.

Do nothing which is of no use.

Me and my cheeseburgers are insane.

Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.

Additional problems are the offspring of poor decisions. When inquiry and advocacy are combined, the goal is no longer 'to win the argument', but to find the best argument.

Physical pain is easily forgotten, but a moral chagrin lasts indefinitely.
