“Every now and then you have to ask yourself: Do you really want to win or just look good losing?” -Phonte "Everyday we wake up there's the legitimate struggle between doin' what's right and just doin' some nigga shit." -Phonte "And they say that money change you But money don't change you It just makes you more of what you already are." -Phonte/Little Brother "They talk about us not usin' the word ni**er I wanna speak about a couple issues much bigger Like most black folks live below the poverty line And they wonder why the fuck we attracted to crime." -Big Pooh/Little Brother "They tryin to blame this rap shit for all of our ills Like I can speak a whup with a mic Like I can fuck you with a verse or use a verb as a knife." -Phonte /Little Brother

I’m not scared of poverty, I grew up being poor … & these times are positive because they force you to decide if you’re interested in living on this planet or not. -Prince
