“My story is going to be completely different than someone else’s story in terms of hard work.”

I always knew ‘My Dawg’ would be a hit, but I didn’t even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.

The more I’m in it, the more I’m practicing and the more I’m advancing.

Like you might love watching basketball, but that don’t mean that you’ll get on the court.

I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’.

I can’t really describe my sound.

What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

Every day I’m getting shaped and molded. Keepin’ on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that.

I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out but like when I first started rapping I used to pay him like $100 like ‘I’ma give you a $100 write something for me so I can try to learn to go in and record it.’

I got the name Lil Baby because I always hung around older dudes.

Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.

I’m changing every day as far as this rap thing. I’m learning new things. I’m getting bigger by the day.

I feel like I wrote that. If I go in there and fix it, it’s almost like something I wrote.

The first project, I made 16 songs and put 12 of them on the mixtape.

I know I can’t rap forever, but I know as long as I got a label or something I can get money forever.

Gunna was the second person I ever made a song with.

Only by declaring a book completely finished can one start to see how much remains to be done on it.

Art is not ideology. It is completely impossible to explain art on the basis of the homological relation that it is supposed to maintain with the real of history.

One’s life completely changes based on the rain. After the monsoon, because the dust settles, one can see further and so it feels like one’s eyesight has improved or that one is living in a different country where there is more light.

You know, to be completely disgusted with injustice to the point that you will have to take some huge leaps of faith. And it may take one person leading many.

It’s when I’m literally completely consumed by the story-telling and the actor or actress is evoking something in me.

I think we’re in a time that calls for that level of courage, that level of resolve.

It’s good to have fresh ingredients, but let’s not completely ignore some frozen ingredients.

I think just being together and talking would be nice. But when we grow old, when greed and vanity will be completely gone, when I will be tired of singing can I return to that place too?
