“I really want to be the black Mr. Rogers – that’s my goal. I would do everything the same but with a hip-hop feel to it.”

We always honor our people when they die; we’ve got to honor them while we’re still alive.

I can be serious, but there’s got to be a lighter side.

There’s not enough people being daring and different. There are a lot of followers in hip-hop.

I just wanted to be different; I didn’t wanna sound like anybody else.

My thing is whatever comes at me, I’m there. But DJ-ing and music is my passion. I’m going to be unpredictable.

Damn it feels good to see people up on it.

I can sell anything. I’m very convincing.

I would never be a sellout, but you can never be a sellout to kids. Kids is kids!

When I used to be on stage, I used to be out of breath; I couldn’t walk that far. Now, I got so much energy. I can do a whole show.

We’re out playing ball in the gym, I put boogers on the basketball and pass it to him

I don’t care about anything but what I want to do. You can’t worry about what else is happening out there. You have to be true to yourself.

We put boogers on our fingers, then shake your hand.

They say I look and sound ugly but I don’t be carin.

She was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen.

He spake of love, such love as spirits feel In worlds whose course is equable and pure; No fears to beat away, no strife to heal,- The past unsighed for, and the future sure.

If you want that good feeling that comes from doing things for other folks then you have to pay for it in abuse and misunderstanding.

I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.

I’m become so numb, I can’t feel you there. I’ve become so tired, so much more aware. I’m becoming this, all I want to do, is be more like me, and be less like you.

Sometimes I make songs about girls, and I say ‘he,’ or I’ll make songs about guys, and I say ‘she,’ or sometimes they’re exactly what they’re about. I feel like it just allows me to get a lot more perspective.

I feel like more artists like me should be on the radio. Everything is, like, so controlled by, like, super popular music. You know what I’m saying? Like, c’mon.

It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
