Man I been did that. Man I been popped off. And if she aint tryna to give it up she get dropped off.
Keep a marquee everything sparkly Man down hit em on the walkie talkie
Man I can't even count all of these hundreds Duffle bag every time I go to SunTrust
The only men I love are dead.
My ideal man is dead white old and on a green sheet of paper.
I vowed that I'd never allow any man to control me or to be an alcoholic or anything like that around me, because I don't want my children seeing that.
I think women are much stronger than men in society. We take more risks than they do in general.
I feel like when I reach my 500-million-dollar goal, then no other woman in rap will ever feel like they can't do what these men have done
Every woman is multifaceted. Every woman has a switch, whether she's going to be maternal, whether she's going to be a man-eater, whether she has to kick ass, whether she has to be one of the boys, whether she has to show the guys that she's just as smart or smarter, she's just as talented or creative. Women suppress a lot of their sides.
Who doesn't love Enya? Whenever I'm in a trying time, she is the calm in the middle of the storm. If I put her on, I'll be in this crazy peaceful state. I love her style. And her harmonies are freaking genius.
Female rappers get it the hardest. You have to be a girl, yet you have to be just as hard as the guys. I think some female rappers get scared out of the business before they can make it.
If people are sitting in the barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are gonna do.
Like to me, I did the 'Harajuku' stuff. I did the crazy stuff. And now I kind of want to tone that back, and it's not toning my personality back, it's just showing like I don't only have to do that.
I feel like my entire career and life, I've been judged by people who did not really know me. I definitely think that they probably were right to assume what they had assumed about me, because there was such little to go on out there.
