We're all equally important at the end of the day.
The work is the understanding of the people that you're speaking for. The further you get away from that, the further you are from the work.
So many things come from people's parents lying to them about the truth about things. I feel like, once those ideas die with people, we'll be good in a couple of generations.
I love Louisiana fried fish, but it's all Martin Luther King, I can't go over there.
I don't have any dreams or aspirations or goals I want to meet music-wise, so there's nothing to keep me from being level-headed.

If your children don't fight, they won't love each other when they get older! It's a common thing.
If you hit a kangaroo in the street and you have to pull out on the side of the road, it can get back up and murder you.
Where I come from, there's no common enemy, there's no "why." There's no, "I hate white people."

A lot of music comes from a selfish place…
There's a price tag on everything including black people's lives and what they do with them.
