“A lot of songs I’m kind of singing and rapping.”

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.

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

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.

I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.

My ultimate goal is my son, and a lot of other kids, to not have to grow up the way I grew up. I just give them a different outlook on something.

I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.

I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.

There are white n*ggers. I’ve seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.

A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don’t trust reading the scripts that much.

We had the same mentality – politically, and in a lot of other different ways.

A lot of acting is private time.

And I didn’t think about the material as much. But sometimes I’ve thought about the material a lot and thought I was doing the right thing, and it didn’t work out.

I found they took a lot out of you and they were exhausting for me in a lot of ways.

I love playing. In lots of ways, I think having been able to carry on playing purely out of love rather than having to do it for a living means I still love the drums.
