One of Biggies Lines that inspires me is “And everything you get, ya gotta work hard for it.” This inspires me because it tells me I have to work hard for things I want. This tells me that I have to be humble and be very discipline. Another lyric quote is "Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart’s in it, and live the phrase ‘sky’s the limit." Biggie smalls is saying to follow your dreams and never give up always go where your heart tells you to go . Do not be scared when things get rough because things are going to get rough and you just got to push and never look back.
