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

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’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.

I’m just trying to show people that I ain’t gotta ride off no movement. I can ride off myself.

Niggas want to kill me and y’all still wit em and y’all chill wit em and y’all wonder why we not friends.

When you give your children knowledge, you are telling them what to think. When you give your children wisdom, you do not tell them what to know, or what is true, but rather, how to get to their own truth.

I love what I do professionally, I’m really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.

I want to say to mothers out there, you know, take your children to marches. Take them to meetings because this is a way that they can become strong, and they understand what politics is all about because they are actually living it.

I’m not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I spent the whole summer with my boobs out, breastfeeding. I loved it. It was heaven.

If there are kids who want to follow in my footsteps, I’d say that my shoes are too big for them to fill! But their shoe size is just perfect.

Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.

I’ve got great people who handle my schedule, and everything does revolve around the children. If there’s a parents’ night or an Easter bonnet parade or a Nativity play, whatever it might be, then I plan everything around that.
