1 " Nothing sounds better than being away from this mess. Nothing sounds better right now than getting higher than the hole I'm in. "
― Walter Dean Myers ,
2 " I know I'm tired of thinking about what I should have done yesterday. I know I'm just tired. If I knew what to do with my life, how to fix it up, I would have done it a long time ago. You can't dig that? You think I want to live like I'm somebody's throwaway? "
3 " Yeah, that's funny, huh?...Something hurts you real bad and you get used to it. Like being hurt becomes part of who you are. "
4 " Looks to me like you've been making garbage for a while and dragging it with you. Now you need to get out of here, and that garbage is weighing you down. "
5 " That's the thing people can't see when they're explaining to your butt what's going on and how you messing up. They can't see that you knew it long before they did. "
6 " I'm not out here looking for no garbage cans to curl up in. I'm looking for the same good dreams everybody else is hoping for, but I don't see where they are. Or maybe I see where they are, but I don't see how to get there. "
7 " People want to look at you and see your whole future laid out the way they know it, and I was saying that didn't happen. People aren't born with I'M GREAT! flashing on their foreheads. "
8 " Look to me like you've been making garbage for a while and dragging it with you. Now you need to get out of here, and that garbage is weighing you down. "
9 " If I'm going to be pushed off the sidewalk, I might as well step on off. You know what I mean? Stop pretending something good was waiting around the corner and be what everybody expected me to be, which was another throwaway dude. —Lil J "
