“Yeah, I’m in my bag but I’m in his too. That’s why every time you see me I got some new shoes.”

I really like how the characters always have to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.

My momma wasn’t a weak person and she wasn’t a complainer. So I don’t wanna be like that.

I’ve been like this forever. I’m sweeter, probably, but me and my homegirls were a little buckwild, ya know? And it only got worse.

Not every day is a good day for me.

When you being real, you ain’t worried ‘bout who fake.,

Us boss chicks have to continue to stick together and change the game.

You know you can’t control me, baby, you need a real one in your life.

My mom was a rapper. I would go to the studio with her, and that definitely showed me I can do this, I wanna do this.

I don’t feel like I’m in competition with anybody. If I’m worried about beating somebody else, I’m not going to be the best version of myself. It shouldn’t be a competition because somebody else winning is not going to make me lose.

I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.

I don’t really feel like I done made it all the way. I feel like, ‘OK, we did this. Then we grinded enough to get to this point. Now we gotta grind enough to get bigger and bigger,’ you know?

That’s what I feel like my music represents, having no limits or restrictions.

When I was little, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon.

I don’t feel like my sound is similar to any female artist that’s out right now, so I definitely feel like we just need some Texas flavor.

I’ve been writing since I was maybe seven.

I’ma just rap and do me.

If people are a little nervous about approaching you at the market, it’s good. I’m not Chuckles The Clown. Or Bozo. I don’t cut the ribbon at the opening of markets. I don’t stand next to the mayor. Hit your baseball into my yard, and you’ll never see it again.

A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear.

The only reason they’re out there is to see me fall into the damn orchestra pit.

The moth don’t care when he sees the flame He might get burned, but he’s in the game And once he’s in, he can’t go back He’ll beat his wings till he burns them black.

When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people.

I always liked the idea that America is a big facade. We are all insects crawling across on the shiny hood of a Cadillac. We’re all looking at the wrapping. But we won’t tear the wrapping to see what lies beneath.

There’s something more to life than what we see on the surface.

When the desire ain’t on me I don’t need help. When it is on me I don’t want any. See? Like the old fellah that never mended his roof. Said on a wet day he couldn’t do it and on a dry day it was as good as anybody’s.
