* So let the lovin' take a hold over me let the lovin' take a hold over me (follow me, Long Beach posse) 'cause all I see is your fussin' and fightin' 1992, let us all start uniting put your heads together be the best you can be let this jam take us to 1993 stay positive, the love will come back to me.
** "Get Out!"
* Life is one big question when you're staring at the clock and the answer's always waiting at the liquor store: 40 ounces to freedom, so I'll take that walk.
** "40 Oz. to Freedom"
* 40 ounces to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good, even though I feel bad.
** "40 Oz. to Freedom"
* I smoke two joints in the morning I smoke two joints at night I smoke two joints in the afternoon it makes me feel alright. I smoke two joints in times of peace and two in time of war. I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more.
** "Smoke Two Joints"
* If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do? I'd point that shit straight at the sky and shoot heaven on down for you.
** "Don't Push"
* When you grab a hold of me, Tell me that ill never be set free
** "Badfish"
* Tell me, are you a bad fish too?
** "Badfish"
* I don't gamble, but I bet I'm gonna die if I don't get a cigarette.
** "Let's Go Get Stoned"
* The stone that the builder refuse shall be the head cornerstone.
** "D.J.s"
* I'm not a fool to hurt myself, but I was innocent to what they done to me
** "54-46 That's My Number/Ball And Chain"
* It's a crazy world to live alone, a ball and chain I call my own.
** "54-46 That's My Number/Ball And Chain"
* When the music hits you shall feel no pain
** "Doin' Time (Eerie Splendor Remix)"
* Oh well the bars are always open, and the time is always right. And if God's good word goes unspoken, the music goes all night.
** "Don't Push"
* If rhymes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb
** "Don't Push"

### Robbin' the Hood (1994)

* One day I'm gonna lose the war.
** "Pool Shark"
* Still I got my yellow cat and my wooden baseball bat and my shiny silver gat and if my homies got my back then I got all that I need. Look at all the love we've found.
** "S.T.P."
