I think my worst problem is actually living in the moment and understanding everything that's going on. I feel like I'm in my own bubble.
I stole a Bible, is that a sin?
We all seem to stumble, planning our own demise, Getting the big picture, and making it wallet-sized.
The thing about hip-hop is they always want to classify you as one particular artist, but hip-hop is about going outside the box and expressing yourself however you want to.
Brother Kendrick Lamar: he's not a rapper, he's a writer, he's an author. And if you read between the lines, we'll learn how to love one another. But you can't do that, I said you can't do that, without loving yourself first.
My pops and my mom started playing Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers and all these people, but at the same time, they always had Snoop on right behind it in the same mix.
Am I the only one who measures time using songs? “Oh it only took me 4 songs to get here! that’s not to long!
I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey.
Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.
A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel
I aint a drinker Im a thinker, call it what you want
You can't change where you from. You can't take a person out of their zone and expect them to be somebody else now that they in the record industry. It's gonna take years. Years of travelling. Years of meeting people. Years of seeing the world.
Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.
The limit is the sky, and I live on cloud. And I recognize my nemesis gon try, to put a finish in my shine. But pussy we'll hurt you, life in the power circle.
