I'm really vulnerable onstage because it's just me. I'm not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

You live and you learn, man. I've learned you can't wait on anybody. You have to raise your awareness yourself.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I've worked on - it's really about just being the artist I am.

I write my own lyrics completely on my own. Sometimes I have people helping me with concepts or like choruses and stuff sometimes, but mostly I write all my own songs by myself, especially the verses and a lot of the choruses.

I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.

My mom keeps me going, man. She deserves such a good life. I just wanna give it to her. My dad, too. My family, my friends, they keep me motivated. Just knowing my personal legend, just knowing what I'm supposed to do, that keeps me going.

Sometimes when you make good stuff and you love it, it gets outdated sometimes, because you've held on to it so long, you may not like it like you used to.
