“It’s hard to trust people out here because these people be having hidden motives.”

I ain’t got nothing to prove to nobody.

I don’t like my music. I’ll make a song, and if I do like it, I’ll feel it, but after that 10th play, I don’t like it no more.

Unless you are me, in my position, don’t ever tell me how to feel.

I know I’m young but I feel like it’s nothing I can’t handle.

I found out I was riding for people who wouldn’t even walk for me.

I’m sorry that I don’t know how to love.

I ain’t never had a role model, watched Chief Keef growing up.

Success make these people mad I know how it is.

Without loyalty, you won’t accomplish anything.

I always try to make my next song better than the last.

I’m just trying to be myself – make music how I make music.

One day I’m gone have everything I prayed for. I really believe it.

I don’t really trust nobody.

Love yourself and never let the hate get to you.

I think music made me who I am. Music taught me what was gutter and what wasn’t. Music taught me how to live.

The only thing that scares me is dying.

If you’ve got great parents, once you grow up and have to live by yourself, you’re going to create some fake self as you get comfortable wherever you are.

When you have a lot of fake selves, most of the time it’s because you haven’t had parents around so you try to build characters to protect yourself.

There’s a part in every person that has a fake self. We’ve had this since infancy due to our parents and our upbringing.

Mostly, I think people are fake. Well, what do you expect? The fake world we live in conspires to make us all fakes.

One of the hardest things in the world is to perform on record and get someone to enjoy and feel what you’re doing. It’s unlike, like TV you can, you can fake it with the face and the crying and the bits. Recording is completely different.

I don’t like horror, which is ridiculous because I’ve been in three horror movies, but when I see those things, I see camera tricks and fake blood and actors screaming and I don’t know understand why other actors don’t see that.

Don’t let the ‘business’ change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.

A man nearly always loves for other reasons than he thinks. A lover is apt to be as full of secrets from himself as is the object of his love from him.
