“We’re the leaders. Look around. Everything we do, we’re gonna see everyone else try to do it.”

I got a lot of names for my next project, ‘Vonald Trump.’ Nah, I ain’t gonna do that, but that sounds good.

With ‘Crazy Story,’ I thought it from the back to the front. I thought about the ending first, then what’s going to happen.

I don’t go in and just get to rapping off the dome. I think about it. I really think about it, especially when I make the story.

Rolling Loud, I wanna do that. I went to Rolling Loud one time with Durk, I couldn’t even get in. We ain’t have enough passes. I wasn’t even rappin’.

In jail, you just zone out, so that’s the thing. That’s like a cheat code.

I love cars and I love clothes, but I don’t really be going too crazy.

They always compare my ‘Crazy Story’ to Meek’s ‘Tony Story.’

The plan wasn’t to rap. So, I got out for a year. I got back in the streets, back out here. Then, it wasn’t workin’, like, I kept going broke. I kept finding myself back at zero. I kept finding myself in trouble, so I told Durk, ‘I’m ready to rap now. I’m ready.’

Ain’t no point in stopping or slowing down. Ain’t like no ‘A’ight, I’m done with this, now take a break,’ you just keep going.

I ain’t really got problems with people.

I used to play baseball. I was playing even in high school.

Naw, I ain’t never been out the country. I been a felon for a minute, so there’s all types of restrictions on my movement, where I can go.

In Chicago, you know you got beef with everybody. In Atlanta, you’re chilling, but you don’t get too comfortable. Like, if I go to the store, it’s not like anybody’s gonna come out shooting at me.

I be talking to females but nothing serious, just entertaining everybody.

If you’re doing something and keep doing it, you’re gonna get better results.

The first time I do something, I’ll probably be good at it.

You become a leader when you decide to be an original and not a copy.

Note that this journey is uniquely yours, no one else’s. So the path has to be your own. You cannot imitate somebody else’s journey and still be true to yourself. Are you prepared to honor your uniqueness in this way?

They’ve imitated me so good that sometimes I hear people copying my mistakes

We imitate the habits of three groups in particular: The close. The many. The powerful.

The public is never pleased with what we do, wanting always a copy of what we have done.

Don’t imitate me / we are not two halves / of a muskmelon.

Do not resemble me-Never be like a musk melon Cut in two identical halves.

I’ve been imitated so well I’ve heard people copy my mistakes.
