“Allow me to reintroduce myself”


“Pound-for-pound, I’m the best to ever come around here”

“I’m a hustler homie, you a customer crony”

“When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5”


“They never really miss you till you dead or you gone”

“I ain’t never scared. I’m everywhere, you ain’t never there”

“Got some dirt on my shoulder; could you brush it off for me?”

“Hustlers, we don’t sleep, we rest one eye up”

“This is the life I chose, or rather, the life that chose me”

“They don’t paint pictures; they just trace me”

“I’m like Che Guevara with bling on, I’m complex”

“N—a, one life to live, I can’t let a day go”
