“I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.”

Just let me be me, That’s the only way I know.

You don’t hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

It’s a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

Nothing really changes until I change myself.

I like to let things breathe.

The Universe energy doesn’t lie.

I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn’t have the recognition that I have now.

We look so much on color that we forget about the soul.

Color don’t tell if people Black. It’s the soul.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

I’m constantly thinking.

I can’t help the way you was born if you was gay.

People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that’s not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.

I don’t vote. I don’t do no voting.

My name, is my name. Ask me again, i’ll tell you the same.

I’ve been called a recluse. There’s definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.

Believe in the holy contour of life.

I believe that when I am dead, I am dead. I believe that with my death I am just as much obliterated as the last mosquito you and I squashed.

If you believe in it, and you believe in it hard, it is impossible to fail.

Visions of McDonald’s restaurants dotting crossroads all over the country paraded through my brain. I don’t believe in saturation. We’re thinking and talking worldwide.

People often ask me whether I believe in God. I haven’t seen God. But I think that one’s beliefs are one’s God – and, in those terms, yes, God is there.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

But in that backroom or whatever it is when God confronts me with my sins, I do not believe any of the kills I had during the war will be among them. Everyone I shot was evil. I had good cause on every shot. They all deserved to die.
