"This album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin', to all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters, and all the niggas' in the struggle, 'you know what I'm sayin'?"

"See I was born in the ghetto/ man I was raised in the hood/ unless you've lived it yourself/ it just can't be understood/ people think hustling is cool, or hustling is live/ they don't understand hustlers only hustling to survive/ They wish they lived in the 'burbs/ wish they didn't have to hang/ out in corners in low income housing projects and slang/ They wished their daddies were home, mama wasn't on drugs/ and they didn't have to grow up to be dealers and thugs..."

- Bernard "Bun-B" Freeman of UGK
