“I’m just trying to be myself – make music how I make music.”

I know when people are with me or not. It’s an instinct.

Hurt ain’t never stopped a thing pain always kept us rolling.

You can get to know me through my music.

I’m committed to my family.

You can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped. And you can’t love someone that doesn’t want to be loved.

I wanted to try a different way of making music. That’s what made me try different things with my voice.

I just know what I go through, and I know how to speak on it in an interesting way.

You will never grow if you can’t admit your wrongs and learn from your mistakes.

I don’t really talk that much. I just watch and observe.

I ain’t got nothing to prove to nobody.

I don’t like my music. I’ll make a song, and if I do like it, I’ll feel it, but after that 10th play, I don’t like it no more.

Unless you are me, in my position, don’t ever tell me how to feel.

I know I’m young but I feel like it’s nothing I can’t handle.

I found out I was riding for people who wouldn’t even walk for me.

I’m sorry that I don’t know how to love.

I ain’t never had a role model, watched Chief Keef growing up.

Surfing music is dead. It was just a summer craze for kids on the beach. I’m finished with it.

I know when it comes to the actual narrative of my solo music, it’s its own thing. That’s why I went out of my way after ‘Crew’ to not do a bunch of collaborations.

I’m not a filmmaker. I’m not a music producer by choice.

It is as absurd to say that a man can’t love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.

I do very versatile music.

I’ll listen to certain things that I made back then, and I’m like, ‘I wish I could have done this, I would’ve done that’. When you start out making music, you just want to make something that people will like.

I started off making beats when I was like 12. Then when I linked with people who make beats full time, I was like, ‘Bet, now I can focus on writing and singing.’

I would ditch school if my CD was scratched up or I couldnt get batteries. I wasnt trying to get on the bus and not be listening to music.
