“I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.”

Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.

Sit down, be humble.

It’s easy to forget who you are.

I’m only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.

A flower bloomed in a dark room.

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.

As long as my music is real, it’s no limit to how many ears I can grab.

I knew I was blessed with a gift of having both parents.

We’re all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.

If I’m gonna tell a real story, I’m gonna start with my name.

God to me is love.

I sit and talk to kids all day, because I feel like they carry the most wisdom.

But what love got to do with it when you don’t love yourself ?

Just let me be me, That’s the only way I know.

You don’t hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

It’s a great, great experience to finally get the reception that you know you rightfully deserve.

I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love…I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

One must explore deep and believe the incredible to find the new particles of truth floating in an ocean of insignificance.

I believe in the power of Jesus Christ to resolve any difficulty, to remove any weakness, to heal any disease.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It’s not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.
