“You have to hurt in order to know. Fall in order to grow. Lose in order to gain. Because most of life’s lessons are learned in pain.”

Producing all my own songs and refusing to go to the hot producer. That’s the biggest risk I’ve taken so far.

I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something’s not good enough, and I won’t stop until I feel like I’ve made it. I’m never satisfied.

Don’t let bridges you cross be bridges you burn.

Anything I do, I want to do it well.

It’s no coincidence that all the greatest rappers – whoever you put in your top five – I guarantee you they are great storytellers.

Time will tell who is on my side.

Tupac was just so passionate about what he believes in and not afraid to say anything.

In this life ain’t no happy endings. Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance.

Catch me, I’ve fallen in love for the first time.

My life accelerated, but had to wait my turn. But then I redecorated, that means my tables turn.

Nothing lasts forever, but at least we’ve got these memories.

Keep grindin’ boy, your life can change in one year, And even when it’s dark out, the sun is shining somewhere.

It’s beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success.

I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.

I don’t like to think of it as being fired. Instead, I prefer to think of it as being on indefinite leave with a sabbatical flair.
