Lil Wayne Birthday: 10 Quotes by the Rap Star That We All Can Live By

American rapper Lil Wayne turns 37 today. In case you missed it, Blink-182 gave Lil Wayne a joint as a birthday gift, in middle of a performance, recently. Lil Wayne was left speechless. The hip-hop artist's music has given many of us a reason to get by the day. He is a legend. But it is not only his music that has given fans hope, inspiration and motivation, he also has given us a lot to think about with his statement. During interviews, the rap artist has churned out gems that we all can live by.

Back in school days, we all were busy humming his song 'Lollipop'. He peaked quite early with his talent and continues to rule the charts. Although, birthday is not the kind of day, we should be talking about this but, rumour has it that Lil Wayne might retire from producing music soon.

As a token of love and appreciation, here are a few famous quotes by Lil Wayne that have our heart:

"Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future."

"Surround yourself with love, not friends.”

"Had to swallow my pride, though, swear it tastes like spearmint."

"A lot of women don’t know how to love because there’s deep reasons for them not knowing how to love. And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons."

"Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.”

"Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically.”

"I’m a lion on redeem, inspired by the green. Never tired nor fatigued, never defiant to my team.”

"Everything gets better with time, and time is forever."

"Somewhere in between all the mind games, lies and seduction...I fell for you. Somewhere in between all the broken promises, manipulation and heartaches...I got over you. But, I guess I fibbed a few times too. Remember all those times I swore I needed you? Well consider them lies because baby, here I am without you, and I survived."

"Somewhere along the way in your life, the world and its people will have a problem with you. That's their problem. Not yours."

That was a lot of wisdom for one day, right? Well, there is more where that comes from. This world is certainly slightly better with Lil Wayne and his words around. Very happy birthday to the superstar. Thanks for the love.
