These broke rappers always rappin bout a pink truck. I'm only happy when I'm hoppin out the Brinks truck.
We get a lot of cheese, no mice with that.
You have to know that as long as you love who you are - your morals, your values, that type of stuff - you're OK.
I want people - especially young girls - to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You've got to have something else to go with that.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I am like, 'This is a high-top day' or 'This is a bob day,' but when I get my clothes on that's when I see.
I have a song I wrote called “Autobiography.” I came from a very intense living situation, with having a parent on drugs and not having a lot of money. So I always want to talk about the real things. But I think 90 percent of my music, I want it to be 'feel-good music'. I'm already recording tracks for my album, but when it comes time to actually say, 'this is the album,' I may be in a completely different space than I'm in right now.
I just embrace all people of all lifestyles and I don't tell them they are bad people. And I say girls are beautiful and girls are sexy and they need to be told that, and if they don't have anyone to tell them that and mean it, I'm gonna tell them that. But I feel like people always wanna define me and I don't wanna be defined.
Men are kids at heart. They want to be nourished and pet like a dog.
I'm very protective of my heart
Had I accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now.
I don't have to do things just to please people. It's okay to do what I love because what I love, my fans love. And they're really the only ones that should matter.
Sometimes you don't realize how far you've gotten until you look around at the people who are still trailing far behind you.
I think most artists will experience a lot of negative people on Twitter but, thank God, I've got so many followers that I'm not able to see them that much. I'll see some from time to time but, for the most part, I always focus on something good.
I don't know where I fit in the spectrum of rap yet...
