Young Jeezy Quotations

Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain't productive, I get concerned.

I think I got a lot of life skills; I got a lot of wisdom; I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a lot of good people.

As long as I'm not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I'm glad I'm not an MC. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm not that rapper dude.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It's, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you've got something. Nobody's putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.

You gotta have life your way. If you ain't losing your mind, you ain't partying right.

I just think a hustler's ambition is that I never stop. I start off hustling and said I'll never stop hustling. An ambitious hustler is the one to hustle the hustlers. When I grew up, my heroes were hustlers. Now I'm their hero.

Anybody that's got a problem with me is probably envious or wants to be me, and that's how I've always looked at it.

My hustle is nonstop. I never stop hustling.

I, and others like me - trap stars - we always considered ourselves Robin Hoods: we go out and get the money. Just think, if you was in the village and you a hunter, you take pride in going out to hunt the prey and bring it back for the village to eat. In our situation, we took pride in getting money so that the hood could eat.

When you a ghetto star, when you a hood star, you gonna take care of your grandmother, your mother. When you on that next level, you gotta take care of the city, the streets.

I don't know how to be a rapper. I just know how to be me.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

In my heart, I'm 100% real. You can't pull out nothing in my past that can say I'm not 100% real.

I'ma continue to make records, continue to make hits, continue to be what I am, legendary.

I created my lane. No one can ever run my lane because it's mine. I'm the Michael Jackson of my lane. And you know, nobody was as great as Michael. I love Prince, but he's not Michael.

I don't think nobody should compare me to anyone, 'cause, at the end of the day, you've got a 'Pac, you've got Snoop, you got Tip, you got Wayne - there's only one Jeezy, man. Ain't nobody walked in these shoes but me.

I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.

I feel like I'm married to what I do, to the streets. And I feel like when the streets are mad, it's serious.

Music is all about leadership and there ain't really a lot of leaders.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family.

I represent the Democratic party... I've never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter. I support Barack Obama.

With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.

My fans are my family, because they understand me and I understand them.

People who work every day are kind of scared of things they don't understand.

You seen my shows; I bring the 'hood out.

When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I'ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain't gon' make it no more.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain't going the way they should go, they let you know... and when they happy, you gotta keep 'em happy.

I never ever paid attention to any election.

I don't really feel McCain. It ain't just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression.

Politics isn't only about government. Politics is about the people.

This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.

Honestly, I'm on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

In middle school, I had an '87 Regal. That was unheard of.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there - and bigger.

When you're trying to bring the streets into rap to prove a point, then you already lost. You separate the two, and that ain't to be played with. You've got people that lost their lives and people that are doing real time. If we gon' make music, let's just make music.

It's not the average people that come to my show.

John McCain... looks like a fraud to me.

Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.

It definitely feels good to have those machines behind me. I wasn't getting any radio play, even though I had the streets on lock.

And why do you think the snowman's angry? It's because he's having sex.

This could have been us in Atlanta right now, living in this building.

its hard to stay drug free when Georgia power doesn't give lights free!

I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.

Music is how you feel.

I've got to pay $5 for gas just like everybody else.

I'm a motivational speaker.

Married to the game. If we're dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

I don't just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain't got no sense of direction. I'm trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street.

A lot of people question how talented I am. But I'm a real dude and I know real things and I've seen real people get their head blown off.

I ain't never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I ain't a rapper; I'm a motivational speaker. I don't do shows; I do seminars. I really talk to people.

My music is more like ghetto gospel; there's a message in my words, so people listen. Sometimes you might here different things; it depends on how you feel. You might feel down, and I might be the cat in the same sentence saying, "You need to get up and do your thing." And then I could be the same cat, when you at the top of your game, telling you, "It feel good, don't it?" but with the same words.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family. You still gotta stand up and be that guy even when you ain't having great things. Because you've gotta be the spokesperson for your people.

Anybody that I ever dealt with knows that I'm a very focused individual, and when it comes to my work and what I do, you might have to play the back burner to that.

Sexy, no alcoholic, but she drink like a toilet. Told her do me a favor and put your mouth on this faucet.

Love don't love nobody got me feeling like, I shouldn't love myself

Think you figured it out, but you don't have a clue. Think you on top of the world, but the world on top of you.

Real recognize real, I suppose.

I used to hit the kitchen lights, cockroaches everywhere/Hit the kitchen lights, now it's marble floors everywhere.

Let's say your past is your present and your present is your cash, So I look forward to the future.

Open your eyes, I'm a BLESSING in disguise

The world is yours and everything in it, it's out there- get on your grind and get it.
