“When I make my music, I try and speak to me. I try to go back and hear it, so my music gets me through the times, you know what I’m saying?”

I’m going to be the next king of the Earth.

I want to follow my dreams. I want to make sure that I put myself first and accomplish what I need to accomplish.

I got a lot of experience for my age. Some artists might take a line or two from a bunch of songs and snip it together and make something, but everything I say I do.

A lot of time I like to sing music that people can relate to, but not necessarily put them in a depressed mood.

Basketball sneakers are for people who want to be comfortable. I rather be uncomfortable and just look nice.

I’m a casual sneaker person, I like to be calm drippy.

I feel like all my songs slept-on. I’m not complainin’, but I just wanna drop more heat.

I really believe that I’m gonna blow up. It’s how I feel.

I don’t feel comfortable without certain things. I always want some money in my pocket to do whatever I want. Even if it’s something like I want to eat food that costs more than what I got.

Inspiration is basically just saying how I accomplished my goals or how I am accomplishing my goals.

I think that acting could be a talent.

Once I realized music was working, I was getting money off of shows and I figured that I could find success through music.

I’m a good-hearted person and my biggest goal is to be successful. That’s really the biggest part about me.

I want every song on it to be a hit.

I started seeing how I wanted my story to be told. Going to jail is one of the best things that happened to me. It helped me get my mind right.

I knew I wanted to make music since I was young.

I have always been heavily involved in every album I have ever made. I’m very stubborn when it comes to recording and will only record songs I love, which is why it takes me a long time to make an album.

Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best.

Modern music is people who can’t think signing artists who can’t write songs to make records for people who can’t hear.

The richest people in the world aren’t particularly smart or happy. And the happiest people in the world aren’t particularly smart or rich. That leaves me making music. But we can’t talk about that.

I don’t care what people say about my relationship; I don’t care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I’m getting incredible feedback from my music.

Jazz isn’t dead. It just smells funny.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

Redbone’ from Childish Gambino – that is my ideal summer tune. It’s already gone and done its thing, but I want it to live on forever.
