I try to get as close to a childlike level as possible because we were all artists back then.
For me giving up is way harder than trying.
People always try to box you in to what they know you best for.
We're not always in the position that we want to be at. We're constantly growing We're constantly making mistakes. We're constantly trying to express ourselves and actualize our dreams.
I refuse to follow the rules where society tries to control people with low self esteem.
I wake up every day trying to give something back to you that you can rock to and be proud of.
If everything I did failed - which it doesn't, it actually succeeds - just the fact that I'm willing to fail is an inspiration. People are so scared to lose that they don't even try. Like, one thing people can't say is that I'm not trying, and not I'm not trying my hardest, and I'm not trying to do the best way I know how.
People always say that you can't please everybody. I think that's a cop-out. Why not attempt it? 'Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.
I'm really happy I'm me because if I wasn't I'd be scared. If you want that Number One spot you need to listen to my album and try to beat it.
I don’t understand why they trippin’, If you ask me, Flow is just as nice as, I admit the propane, I just spit, probably, Just raise the gas prices, Everybody in the club, Try and get as fresh as me, What you want dog, Trying to stay recession free, And spit, refreshly,
I've had meetings where a guy actually told me, "What we're trying to figure out is how we can control you." In the meeting, to me! Why do you want to control me?
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
Whenever y'all are in the store from and y'all are trying to decide whether or not to get something, think if you saw me wear it before or not, and if I have, then it's okay.
Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go.
