“I gotta stay in that light where people will see me and hear me. And not be scared of me, you know?”

Always read your contract. Know what you’re getting yourself into. Know your worth.

I grew up without a father, so I have to be on point for my kids.

You will never know how much money I got but I got more then I got followers.

This ain’t regular coming from me they ain’t want me to win!!

I already won but it came with biggest loses I ever had.

Death can happen anywhere, but kids in Chicago, like 4 years old, can get shot. You don’t really hear that in too many places.

I would say I grew without a doubt. My whole energy in life – as an artist and as a person – has definitely got me smarter and wiser.

The trenches don’t love me but I love the trenches I know it’s weird.

Everybody always going to sound like somebody. You got to separate yourself.

My message is just showing people how I came from nothing.

Put your own twist to it. That’s how you say relevant. Or things get old and boring.

I’m happy with the person I become.

Nobody got your back like you do remember that.

I have three kids, and that’s a big part of staying focused.

I’m really living my dream so if I were to change anything up, I probably wouldn’t be where I am.

I listen to different artists. I open my mind to different artists.

They hear you own up, and they learn to own up.

Can you hear my silence? I’m screaming pretty damn loud.

The craziest thing is that the song [“My President”] is real but you can still hear it in the club.

People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.”

Those who cannot hear an angry shout may strain to hear a whisper.

There’s a lot of difference between listening and hearing.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

Your first realization when you become an important person is that all day and all night, whatever the circumstances, people want to hear you talk about yourself.
