I make music cuz it's almost like I can escape everything I was involved in. All I gotta do is make music. I don't do nothin but make music.

In my neighborhood... they view the police as someone who comes to take their loved ones away.

Every negative is a positive. The bad things that happen to me, I somehow make them good. That means you can't do anything to hurt me.

I've been in situations like in Tokyo where people sang my song word for word and then when the music stopped, they couldn't speak to me. I've seen the music break the language barrier.

Hate it or love it, the underdogs come out on top.

In business there's people who have talent and there's people whose talent is to take advantage of people who have talent.

Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel
