“There’s certain little sounds that I just like to hear.”

I always knew ‘My Dawg’ would be a hit, but I didn’t even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.

The more I’m in it, the more I’m practicing and the more I’m advancing.

Like you might love watching basketball, but that don’t mean that you’ll get on the court.

I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’.

I can’t really describe my sound.

What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

Every day I’m getting shaped and molded. Keepin’ on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that.

I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out but like when I first started rapping I used to pay him like $100 like ‘I’ma give you a $100 write something for me so I can try to learn to go in and record it.’

I got the name Lil Baby because I always hung around older dudes.

Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.

I’m changing every day as far as this rap thing. I’m learning new things. I’m getting bigger by the day.

I feel like I wrote that. If I go in there and fix it, it’s almost like something I wrote.

The first project, I made 16 songs and put 12 of them on the mixtape.

My story is going to be completely different than someone else’s story in terms of hard work.

I know I can’t rap forever, but I know as long as I got a label or something I can get money forever.

Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.

Since death is certain and the time of death is uncertain, what is the most important thing?

The central question of a warrior’s training is not how we avoid uncertainty and fear but how we relate to discomfort.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic-this is the spiritual path.

I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Words are such uncertain things, they so often sound well but mean the opposite of what one thinks they do.

Events of human origin are uncertain, but all is regulated and governed by the incalculable power of God, inspiring us not through drunken fury nor by frantic movement, but through the influences of the stars.

There is a certain ecstasy in wanting things you can’t get.
