“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.”

I know Heaven is a mind state, I’ve been a couple times.

If you truly believe it, that’s step one. Step two, is, you know, the hard work that goes along with it.

As we speak I’m at peace, no longer scared to die.

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people’s eyes before you even put out an album.

If they don’t know your dreams, they can’t shoot them down.

Every time you go to sleep you look like you in Heaven.

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.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.

Life is a lot more fun if you treat its challenges in creative ways.

They must often change who would remain constant in happiness and wisdom.

The pages of your past cannot be rewritten, but the pages of your tomorrows are blank.

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.

When times get tough, we don’t give up. We get up.

It’s possible to climb to the top without stomping on other people.
